I apologize for taking so long to share my thoughts with you regarding the Restoring Honor event in Washington D.C. It has taken me several days to figure out a way to put words to the powerful emotions that we experienced at an event that proved to be an incredible reflection of America's founding principles.
Deciding to Go There
What an incredible weekend! The Restoring Honor rally is over and, to be honost, I'm still trying to find the words to describe it so I decided to give you a preamble just so you can know that I haven't forgotten you. As a matter of fact, since the rally I can't seem to get my mind off the wonderful people who make up this great nation. Please forgive me for taking more time to find the right words. I plan to have a full description with pictures and video of the event by Wednesday at the latest.
What's funny is that it took me several minutes to choose an appropriate category for the event. I picked "common sense" because the rally was so full of common sense and basic principles that I feel it fits the best.
Stay tuned for more.
Back in July I warned you that Ron Kind and his allies were going to go on the attack:
Also, his allies in various liberal organizations will spend God only knows how much money to help defend his seat in Congress to prevent the common sense spending cuts and liberty-loving reforms that Dan believes in. Folks, let me warn you, when those organizations start spending their money in this race I guarantee it is going to be ugly so be prepared for the worst that Ron Kind's allies can dish out.
Unfortunately I was right again:
When I kicked off my campaign I pledged to transform the lieutenant governor's office into the leading taxpayer watchdog in the state with the chief mission of rooting out waste, fraud and abuse. There is no greater example of wasteful spending in government today than Jim Doyle and Barack Obama trying to force a costly and unneeded Madison-Milwaukee train on the taxpayers of Wisconsin. To help stop this boondoggle, I created www.stopthetrainwisconsin.org, which was featured on a recent TMJ4 newscast where I also spoke out against Governor Jim Doyle and the Department of Transportation’s plan to waste millions of dollars on a new train depot.
Americans For Prosperity is doing a "Spending Revolt" tour around the United States and they are in Wisconsin this week so I stopped by their event at Copeland Park in La Crosse to hear what they had to say. I'm on their mailing list and I have attended their events in the past. I missed their big Tea Party in Madison due to my work schedule but I heard it was an excellent event and I really appreciate the message that they are spreading across the country.
PLEASE: Help or forward to someone you know who can!
It is amazing how much you can accomplish when it doesn't matter who gets the credit. ~Harry S. Truman

John Adams, our second president and one of the key figures in the founding of our nation once said,
Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.
He said this while he was DEFENDING the British soldiers who were accused in the Boston Massacre. His main point was that we should do our best to ignore our personal passions and biases and look to facts and evidence in order to make the right decisions.
Now take a look at this chart from a report at the Federal Elections Commission web site:
Study these facts and ask yourself, "Who truly has a chance of winning this race for congress?"
