Maybe I missed it. I searched the La Crosse Tribune website and could not find the electronic version of an article by reporter Samantha Marcus. The story in the print edition for Saturday, 9/4/10 had a story buried on the front page of the D section below the fold entitiled Kind maintains wide fundraising lead.
I spent the evening at an event with Dan Kapanke and his supporters and also in attendance was Congressman Pete Sessions from Texas. Mr. Sessions was there to represent the national leadership of the Republican Party and I must say that I was very pleased with the conversation. I have been a part of different types of groups throughout my career in information technology and also during my time in politics. One thing that I have found to be a universal truth of all groups, whether political or business related, is that the strongest ones include participants who feel comfortable asking and answering tough questions. It is never healthy to be surrounded by a bunch of “yes men” and tonight was a great display of the new strength among Republicans as we asked tough questions and received reasonable answers. Mr.
It must be campaign season because Democrats have started letter writing campaigns to distort the truth. Recent letters against Dan Kapanke are eerily similar and appear to be the result of talking points or maybe a copy/paste campaign from Party bosses who want to distract you from real issues. They will discuss anything except Ron Kind’s voting record and how his votes led to policies that are destroying economic freedom and tanking the economy.
FACT: Ron Kind voted in favor of bailing out AIG.
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.

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.
