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.

FACT: Ron Kind voted in favor of bailing out GM.

FACT: Ron Kind voted in favor of giving hundreds of billions of dollars to President Obama’s Czars supposedly to kick start the economy.

It's no secret that I disapprove of the way that Ron Kind represents us in Washington.  I have outlined many ways in which his voting record is more in line with New York liberals than with his own neighbors here in Western Wisconsin.  Now, I have an idea of why that is... Campaign contributions.

It turns out that Kind is taking donations from his liberal allies in Washington.  Most notably: Charlie Rangel has donated $2000 to Kind's re-election.

Given the ethical troubles that Charlie Rangel finds himself in these days will Ron Kind do the honorable thing and send that money back?  Afterall, Rangel's donation was probably paid for with tainted money from his unethical activities.

A friend recently sent me an analysis of the Congressional record (attached below for your convenience).  It's very interesting to see what the FACTS are about how Ron Kind actually votes. It is a stark contrast to what he and his allies TELL you.  Folks, don't believe a word that Ron Kind tells you.  "Trust but verify."

Would someone in the River Falls, Sparta, & Black River Falls areas please attend these  meetings and ask Ron Kind how he is able to get away with deceiving voters?  Is it that the media refuses to hold him accountable?  Is he a Sith Lord who knows how to play mind tricks on a majority of voters?  How does he do it?  He told voters in Dodgeville that he hasn't taken money from Wall Street.  That is not true and his campaign finance records prove that he is being deceptive about it.  If you are in the River Falls, Sparta, or Black River Falls areas please attend the meetings outlined below and hold Ron Kind accountable.  The "media" have failed to do their jobs. You, the voters, are our only hope.

Just the other day I posted a note on this blog about the case against Representative Charlie Rangel and pointed out some of the ways that Ron Kind has been silent or helped delay the investigation.  Now that the ethics panel has finally completed its investigation and officially charged Rangel with 13 counts of wrong-doing why is Ron Kind still silent?  Yet again Kind shows his Washington-insider mentality and won't do the right thing by calling out the shameful behavior of his fellow congressman.

As of today, it has been 741 days since Charles B. Rangel (D-NY), former chairman and Ron Kind colleague on the Ways and Means Committee, appealed for an ethics investigation into allegations of corrupt behavior.  After two years, the Harlem representative continues to place the Democratic Party in an uncomfortable and embarrassing position in a year that certainly will see conservative advances in both the House and Senate.

My family vacations Up North near St. Germain, Wisconsin every year.  One of our traditions during this week long trip is to visit Dan's Minocqua Fudge and partake in their delicious candies.  We also make multiple visits to Susies Ice Cream Parlor to enjoy their treats.  These family traditions are important to us but, according to Ron Kind and his liberal allies, we shouldn't be free to participate in these types of activities.  According to Ron's own congressional web site, “... [Ron Kind] authored, with support from a bipartisan group of [his] colleagues, the Healthy CHOICES Act, H.R. 5209, in May 2010.”
