Away From Active Blogging

Taking some time off to take THE LOVE OF MY LIFE on a sight seeing road trip.

No I will not tell you our destination but we do like the smell of 98 octane fuel. A place where Speed is a thrill, a place where we hear the Canadian Anthem and ouR National Anthem. A place where friends meet from all across North America. Where the fly over makes you proud to be an American. What more could anyone ask for.

Pictures will follow.

I will keep track of everyone so be good and be strong. I will be waiting for the news from Green Bay on the Party of Know on Thursday.

To all, have a GREAT week and

may GOD BLESS each and everyone of you.

People Of Northeastern Wisconsin, Stand Up and Be Counted

The time has arrived for the people of Northeastern Wisconsin to rise up and take back our country.

How many of your friends and neighbors are out of work?

How many businesses have closed their doors?

How many businesses have filed for bankruptcy and laid off your friends and neighbors?

How many companies will be taken over by our government?

Can you take the chance government run health care will talk care of you and and your family like Canada and Great Brittan has now?

How many people do you know who have lost their house or can't afford to pay their rent?

How many people do you know are going through hard times for their family and friends?

How much more money can government spend that it doesn't have?

Families with children, can you afford higher costs for daycare of your children because of taxes being raised by your elected officials?

Can you afford a higher garbage tax, a higher cell phone tax, a higher hospital tax, higher property taxes, the list goes on and all being done by your elected officials?

It's time to take back the country our forefathers gave us. We need to take back our counrty where men and women died for the freedom we have today. Did they sacrifice their lives to let our government take away our freedom, and our way of life?

Stand up for Northeastern Wisconsin. Stand up for the State of Wisconsin. Stand up for the United States of America.

You need to stand up and be counted when President Obama comes to Green Bay on Thursday. Be not angry, be not afraid, but you need to protest the direction this country is going in a calm organized peaceful way. Make a sign or just walk along and be counted.

It is your privilege and duty as an American citizen to protect and preserve this country for yourself, your children and for your grandchildren.

Join other Americans and tell our government to stop the spending, stop higher taxes and stop the social experiment in the changing of this GREAT country of ours.

From Jerry Bader at WTAQ and Todd Lohenry at the Right Side of Wisconsin.

"Starting at 8, Jerry will be at Beaver Dam Park on Hobart off of W. Point east of Packerland. About 10:15, we will proceed via W. Point to Packerland on foot and stay there until about noon. Timing is critical — we must be in place by 11:10! Please remember to be courteous, EVEN TO THOSE WHO DISAGREE WITH YOU! And please remember to respect people’s property…" The Party of Know

Go to the link below if you care about your children your grandchildren and your country. Pass it on! Tell your friends and neighbors! Pass the word to everyone you know and be there to be counted! We need to see you there!

Obama visit: Join the Party of KNOW

According to the Green Bay Press Gazette mid-morning Monday, President Obama will hold Thursday’s Town Hall Meeting at noon Thursday at Southwest High School in Green Bay. 1,000 tickets will be available by lottery; register to be in the lottery drawing by going to this temporary page on the White House Web site, http://www.whitehouse.gov/greenbaytownhall/

Obama Health Care Town Hall Meeting
Thursday, June 11, 12 noon
Southwest High School
1331 Packerland Drive, Green Bay

According to the web site, if your name is selected, you will be called and will be permitted to pick up two tickets. If you are not selected, you will not be called. You must apply via the web site before noon Tuesday.

Jerry Bader, morning talk show host at 1360 WTAQ in Green Bay is suggesting a counter rally that can’t be ignored, i.e., 2,000 or 3,000 people. His theme comes from the Party of Know, used by Ronald Zahn of De Pere and documented in this May 20 FoxPolitics piece. Ronald was one of the attendees of a non-tea party tea part group of folks in Greenleaf.

There was a mini-conversation about Republicans being the “party of NO.” [Senator Al] Lasee said he was proud to have said no – over and over and over. He reminded the group Republicans would have to be saying more and more of it in response to the dreadful budget put forward by Governor Doyle. Ronald Zahn, now of De Pere, said something like “I’m proud to be the party of NO – not “NO” – but rather, “the party of KNOW.” We KNOW the constitution and we KNOW the American entrepreneurial spirit.” I would add, we KNOW liberty and we KNOW freedom – and we KNOW what it takes to keep this great country free and prosperous.

If you believe you’re a member of the Party of KNOW, make yourself a homemade sign and get yourself over to Southwest High School Thursday mid-morning. Keep watch!! at www.partyofknow.org for where-to-meet-when details, as they develop.

By Don Walker of the Journal Sentinel

Posted: Jun. 8, 2009

West Allis - The Wisconsin Bakers Association, makers of the famous cream puffs at the Wisconsin State Fair, announced on Monday that it would expand its presence at the annual event.

The bakers' group said they would become the title sponsor of the former Master Spas Pavilion on the fair's Central Mall for the 2009 and 2010 fairs. In addition, the association said it would open two satellite locations at the fair to sell cream puffs.

The satellite locations will be located near the U.S. Cellular Main Gate and near Gate 2 at the south end of State Fair Park near the Wisconsin Exposition Center.

Fairgoers will be able to purchase 6-packs to go while at the fair or as they leave.

The satellite locations will operate daily from dusk until the fair closes.

The new bakers' pavilion will be known as the Original Cream Puff Pavilion.

"For 85 years the Wisconsin Bakers Association has made a commitment to this wonderful event and through this sponsorship will continue to be a dedicated, strong partner to agriculture, our association members, our loyal fans and Wisconsin State Fair," said David Schmidt, executive director of the bakers' association.

The cream puff were first sold at the fair in 1924.

This year's State Fair will be held from Aug. 6-16. "

Proposal would allow 10-year-olds to hunt with adult supervision

By ROBERT IMRIE • The Associated Press • June 9, 2009

WAUSAU — In a move portrayed as preserving Wisconsin's hunting heritage, the state Senate is schedule today to take up legislation that would allow 10-year-olds to hunt under the supervision of an adult who couldn't carry a gun."
State Senate considers lower hunting age | greenbaypressgazette.com | Green Bay Press-Gazette

You have to go to the very last paragraph to get the answer.

The DNR says about 9,000 more licenses would be sold annually to young hunters participating in the mentoring program. A residence hunting license now costs $20, but Holperin said the price for the apprentice license may be $5, to attract more youth hunters.

Did you see he used the word may, not will or could, but "may" which in dem speak means it will not! The democrats are in a corner and will do anything to get out of it! It's all for the money!

If Steve Kagen is working for the people of the 8th district how can he be in two places at the same time? Can anyone please answer that question?

Is he campaigning or working to help the people of Wisconsin? Sandbagger!

Here are just a few of what you will pay for from the democrats from Wisconsin..

The Garbage Tax or recycling fees have been increased from $5.90/ton to $$13/ton, resulting in a tax increase primarily to municipal taxpayers of $63.3 million.

Cell phone tax – A new 75-cent monthly surcharge on all phones will raise $100 million, summarily raided for unrelated uses in the General Fund. This tax may make Wisconsin ineligible for federal funds, which means local communities may have to raise taxes even more to support their 911 system.

Child care tuition and fees are no longer deductible on state income tax returns. Also, the per-child licensing fee child care providers pay to the state is increasing 39%.

Report: Favre had surgery
By Lori Nickel of the Journal Sentinel

Jun. 7, 2009 5:19 p.m. | ESPN.com is reporting that Brett Favre had arthoscopic surgery on his shoulder to pave the way for his return to the NFL for a 19th season in 2009.

The website said Favre had the surgery last month on the partially torn biceps tenton but that "Favre remains unable to make a commitment because subsequent throwing sessions indicate the shoulder is not yet 100 percent."

ESPN also reports that Favre "has thrown on a limited basis since the surgery, which occurred last month, but has not felt close to 100 percent and would not come back unless he makes significant progress."

It looks like Favre tried the non-surgical methods to correct the shoulder and when that didn't work he went with the surgery with Dr. James Andrews. This step was probably absolutely necessary for Favre's return to the NFL. The Minnesota Vikings have expressed interest in Favre." NewsWatch - JSOnline

Racially Motivated

From the Shawano Leader

Why is race always thrown into the equation?

As someone said, "you made your bed, you sleep in it. You would think the people who bought property on Legend Lake should have seen this coming before they bought.

"Association’s proposed covenant draws tribe’s ire
By Tim Ryan, Leader Reporter

The Legend Lake subdivision, nestled on the edge of the Menominee Reservation on a slender swath of land once owned by the Menominee Tribe, has had a mostly quiet, if tenuous relationship with its sovereign neighbor.

After a contentious start some four decades ago — when economic necessity forced the selling off of portions of tribal land and the creation of the subdivision — the tribe and Legend Lake property owners have long since settled into peaceful coexistence and even cooperation.

But this week, members of the Legend Lake Property Owners Association will be voting on a proposed covenant that threatens to stir up old passions and could lead to the two sides facing off in a bitter legal fight in federal court.

Viewed by the association as an innocent measure aimed at protecting the Legend Lake tax base, it is being called racially motivated by the Menominee Tribe and an attack on the tribe’s sovereign rights.

The covenant would in essence restrict association properties from being taken off the tax rolls.

Specifically, the covenant is aimed at putting a stop to the transfer of properties purchased by the tribe and tribal members into federal trust, under which the property is not only non-taxable, but also not subject to association bylaws or state and county regulations.

“I think it’s an af-front to the Menominee Nation,” said Menominee Tribal Chair-person Lisa Waukau.

Waukau said the federal Restoration Act that restored the Menominee’s tribal status also gave the tribe an absolute right to put their land into trust if they so desire.

See more in Sunday’s Shawano Leader."

Menominee Nation will keep raising taxes and take more land off the tax roll until they have it all back. Property owners, your wasting your time!

"PETA wants to take over lighthouses, serve faux fish sticks

BY TODD SPANGLER • Detroit Free Press • June 7, 2009

GRAND HAVEN, Mich. — As Lake Michigan ports go, Grand Haven is an angler's paradise. If People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals gets its way, it also will be home to a lighthouse café — serving faux fish sticks — where patrons learn about the evils of fishing.
Advertisement

PETA said in a letter to the National Park Service last week that it wants to take over Grand Haven's historic twin red lighthouses once they go on a list of surplus properties this year or next. Because PETA is a nonprofit, its bid to maintain the lighthouses could be considered.

The group also is interested in ownership of the Kewaunee Pierhead Lighthouse in Kewaunee.

If it takes over the lighthouse in Kewaunee, the group said in a letter to Dan Wenk, acting director of the National Park Service, it would install interactive educational displays to help the public learn more about fish. It also would open a café at the lighthouse serving faux fish sticks and other vegetarian dishes.

The way the animal rights group sees it, Grand Haven would be a perfect place to drum up compassion for fish. To do so, it would point to research it says suggests that fish have feelings, too, rubbing against each other to show affection, developing individual personalities, even learning to grieve."

"Howard considers buying carts for single-stream recycling

By Malavika Jagannathan • mjaganna@greenbaypressgazette.com • June 7, 2009

HOWARD — The village will join a number of its neighbors this summer by converting to single-stream recycling, but the board will vote Monday on whether to purchase recycling carts for the transition.
Advertisement

The board will consider a resolution to amend its contract with Veolia Environmental Services by buying 90-gallon recycling carts in August for 5,600 residents, a cost that will be added to the 2010 tax bill. In September, the board approved a five-year garbage and recycling contract with Veolia.

Single-stream recycling allows residents to put all plastic, steel, glass and aluminum containers in one cart, along with paper and cardboard. The recycling center then sorts the material.

"We're going to single-stream regardless — this is the chance to get the bins now," said village Administrator Joshua Smith. "One of the selling points of single-stream is that it will reduce our landfill tonnage and reduce our costs."

The village could buy 5,600 of the 90-gallon bins for $43.25 each for a total cost of $242,200. That cost would be charged to each household as a one-time fee on the tax bill." Howard considers buying carts for single-stream recycling | greenbaypressgazette.com | Green Bay Press-Gazette
