Success - The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will. Vincent T. Lombardi

The Right Thing to Do
What is the right thing to do after this past election?
I say that for several reasons, no matter what is done , no matter
what good intentions , it's never right! The truth is never reported
by the main stream media!
Example one :
I take for example "welfare reform". Back in 1994 a new congress
was elected. They said that welfare needed to be fixed. It was not a
popular idea at the time, but it was something that needed to be
fixed. No, it may not have been a compassionet stance to take
thousands off the welfare rolls but to give welfare to the people
that really needed it was the main goal! If you need welfare you
need to get a job or further your education to better yourself.
Sounds like a great plan, and you know what, it worked! The
republicans brought it up and President Clinton signed it into law .
From the media point of veiw it was Bills idea and he got alot of the
credit! If it was not for the republicans it would never became law
and all the people off of welfare would not be productive citizines
today. The demacarts are the party of the people but a lot of
democrats didn't vote for it. Who is called anti poverty by the
main stream media, republicans!
Example two ;
The cival Rights act of 1964 which was signed by President
Johnson, the republicans are always said to be agaist civil
rights , but back in 1964 more republicans voted for civil
rights than democrats. If it wasn't for republicans voting for it,
it would never have passed! The democrats didn't have
enough votes by themselves to pass it.
From - Diane Alden Saturday, Dec. 14, 2002 Link
"Remember that the Republicans were the minority party at
the time. None the less, H.R.7152 passed the House on Feb. 10, 1964.
Of the 420 members who voted, 290 supported the civil rights
bill and 130 opposed it. Republicans favored the bill 138 to 34;
Democrats supported it 152-96. Republicans supported it in
higher proportions than Democrats. Even though those Democrats
were Southern segregationists, without Republicans the bill
would have failed. Republicans were the other much-needed
leg of the Civil Rights Act of 1964."
Why are republicans bad for helping get passed the Cival Rights act.
Why did no one ( main stream media) hold the dems feet to the fire?
Why is history still not told to this very day? Because the main
stream media still says republicans are racist!
example three;
Here inWisconsin newlyl elected congressman Steve Kegan.
From Charlie Sykes Link
MONDAY, Oct. 23, 2006, 9:27 a.m.IF A GAFFE FALLS IN
THE WOODS
Take Kagen’s use of the word, “Injun,” as in: “Our excuse, uh, in
Oneida was, well we are on injun time. They don't tell time by
the clock. Our excuse here is I'm a doctor and we're never on time."
Fine he made a mistake but if a republican would of said it, it would
have been a blood bath . And what does the Native Americans
leaders say!
Foe the Milwaukee Journal Link
"Danforth and Washinawatok said there were many more
important issues to the tribes than the Kagen remark.
Washinawatok said Kagen had visited the Menominee
reservation many times and that she supports his candidacy.
Danforth said the Oneida tribe had taken no official position
on the congressional race."
Mainly the tribes said that because John Gard was fighting
agaist them on casino gambling in Madison, that they don't like him !
If Gard would of said that that they said they would be upset
and would of made sure John Gard would have been punished.
John Gard would have been racist! Steve Kegan OK , no big deal !
Example Four ; Hurican Katrina in 05
Right after Katrina hit, the media was camped out in New Orleans
at the Super Dome. Women were being raped , people were
commiting suicide, Murder was happening , all hell was breaking
loose! On the contrary, it wasn't really happening . The main stream
media made up those stories, and who is still the blame for Katrina,
George Bush !
Example Five; Jim Doyle , Wisconsin election 06
From Patrick McIlheran artical LINK
His artical starts out ;
In your heart, do you think Gov. Jim Doyle is honest?
If your answer is an unhesitating yes, move along.
There's a lot of news to read.
If you at least paused, it could just be
all those nasty TV ads, and there's a good chance you don't
trust Mark Green, either. He, too, is a politician, and other
nasty ads point out his sin: He is in the same Congress as
Mark Foley was and in the same party as Vice President
Dick Cheney, and he looks dorky talking in grainy slow motion.
The main point on all this, no matter what good things republicans
or conservitaves do , you never hear about it, you only hear they
are for big oil, they are corupt, they are racist , they are homophobs,
they are for the rich , etc , etc , etc by the media. The media never
reports when the Steve Kagens or Jim Doyles and others of the world
twist the truth, twist laws to there benifit or just plain lie about
conservatives.
I will say that republicans lost the last election. The voters got
shnookered and faked out big time with deceptive ads and just
sucked it up!
Now everyone in Washington is happy! The mass media is taking
credit for getting out of Iraq, the democrats took both houses and
the economy is good , they will solve the war and Iraq , it will be
said the dems can now walk on water . Hillary in 08!
From charlie Sykes
MONDAY, Dec. 4, 2006, 5:35 a.m.
IF IT WALKS LIKE A DUCK , LINK
In Wisconsin , now that Diamond Jim won the election, vehicle fee's
might go up 46 % , We need to tax chocolate chips ,we don't need to
tax Twix candy bars, elected officials in Madison get sick days for
being sick but only two have taken sick leave in years .
If the president on 08 is a democrat and the economy starts to go
south, it is George Bushs fault. If the economy is good it's because
a democrat was elected.
If we have pease in Iraq it will be because the dems got
elected in 06 and won the war!
Gasoline price high it's Bushs fault. Gasoline prices low
it's bushs fault , he 's trying to get elected again !
When it comes to the main stream media they will spew what
ever they want to paint conservatives or republicans as evil,
racists, homophobs , global warming , it's Bushs fault and on
and on!
I can only pray that the younger generation will take care
our great country after all the self absorbed ,canyass baby
boomers ( not all, but most) are gone. I give a lot of credit
to the World War Two Generation and all vets and people
in our military for preserving freedom . Most of the main
stream media are from the boomer generation and it
sure shows!
When taxes start going through the roof and people start
complaining, will the main stream media report it?
I doubt it , they will find some conservative and blame
them and most people will believe it!
I always believe in truth and honesty . I guess I am in the
minority. " We hold these truths to be self evident......"
People who watch the main stream media, remember ,
don't believe everything you see !
Also, main stream media , be carefull what you wish for ,
you may not like what you get.
God Bless the U.S.A.
What A Great Line
From Lance Burri blog , His opening paragraph says it all .
"I’m very grateful to the Democrats today. You wouldn’t
think that, but I am. See, I hadn’t been able to find my ass
for the past couple of weeks. And then the Dems came along
Tuesday and handed it right to me.
Thanks."

Veterans Day 2006
I would like to give thanks to all the Veterans for there
service for our country.

for serving our country. I may have missed some relatives or cousins
who served but I am sorry I did not remember their names. I am very
proud of what they have done to protect our freedom in this counrty.
They never really said much about their service but their courage and
beliefs is what makes this country so great. To all the men and women
that served , served and died , also to those that are now serving is
what keeps what we sometimes take for granted that much more valuable.
Yes , you have free speech,
Yes, you can turn away from our flag ,
Yes , you can burn the flag,
Yes , you may not believe in God!
6 : 30 p m (Had to update this part).
Yes, we can vote ,
Yes we are only married to one man and one woman,
Yes, in 45 states we have conceled carry (not in Wis),
Yes, we have the right to bear arms ,
Yes , we believe in God and This country,
and yes many more .
We have many freedoms we can take for granted or show respect
for, but that is the country all that served, fought and died for.
My youngest son has his heart set on going to the Air Force Acadamy,
how do I feel? I feel proud that his future is his and I can only be proud
of what ever or where ever his life may lead.
I did not serve for our country and will always regret not doing so.
For all that all of you have done , I just want to say THANK YOU!!!!!
P.S. Happy Birthday to the Marines , they are 231 years old.
Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kagen's Son CitedNovember 9, 2006
The son of Congressman-elect Steve Kagen was cited
Wednesday for possession of drug paraphenalia.
Tommy Kagen, 21, received the $168 ticket at the
Outagamie County Regional Airport after security
screener found a marijuana pipe in his bags, according
to Sheriff's Capt. Mike Jobe. The incident happened at
about 5 pm. Kagen apparently was not with his son
when the citation was issued. Kagen issued a short
statement regarding the incident: "We're very
disappointed. It shows a lack of respect for the law and
our family," he told FOX 11. "When there's 650,000 dead
in Iraq, and a news editor thinks this belongs on television,
that's a sad commentary" on our news organizations.
From Charlie Sykes at WTMJ in Milwaukee. Link
FRIDAY, Nov. 10, 2006, 9:05 a.m.KAGEN: SAY WHAT?
Newly elected Congressman Steve Kagen
reacts to his son's drug paraphenalia bust by saying:
We're very disappointed. It shows a lack of respect for
the law and our family," he told FOX 11. "When there's
650,000 dead in Iraq, and a news editor thinks this
belongs on television, that's a sad commentary" on our
news organizations. Maybe he's getting PR tips from Gwen Moore.
Let me say what his son did is not important. First the media
helped him get elected by giving him a pass on all important
issues and now he's upset with them!.
What is important is that Mr Kegan was elected Tuesday and
he must address questions when asked , second there are not
650,000 dead in Iraq, all life is important but even Iraq puts
the number at 45,000 ( wheres the other 600,00),
he must of drank the Kool Aid .
"Mr Kegan", if I ask you about income tax relief will you tell
me I not smart enough to know about taxes and get lost?
Libs , remember don't always wish for things, you may not like
what you see , check your wallets and purse, you will have to get
along with less cash in your pocket in the future.
You Libs ,he's all yours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Town Meeting Last Night
It amazes me how small goverment works.
Last night our township meet with a special meeting
concerning special funding for two updated water trucks
for our fire department and money for road repair for 2007 .
First I would like to say we have good people working for our
residents ( our chairamn and board members ) and good
people in our volunteer fire department .
Both proposals passed but I guess with the after thoughts
about tuesday's election I can see most people do not care
about goverment , Taxes , and or quality of life issues.
There were 5 of 6 members of our towns elected officials
present at the meeting , eight members from the fire department
( they needed the updated fire equipment ) and Drumroll please,
DADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADASDADADADA
DADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADAD
Two, thats right two residents representing all the people of Underhill!
Yes , the people from the fire department are residents but to me
they were there to get better equipment which they deserve !
Myself and one other gentleman from the whole town .
People should not b_ _ ch when their taxes go up, or complain when
they don't get good services from their local goverment !!!!!!!!!!!
Thank God we have people that care about them( Town Board members)
that are making good decisions for them.
People are correct when they say being conservative is difficult,
you get blamed for the poor , blamed for wars , blamed for not
having compassion (Katria), blamed for coruption in goverment
( even if the libs are corrupt also) , blamed for the bad economy
( 4.4 unemployment, high stock market- did you make money on
your 401 K), blamed for everything that you stand for!!!!!!
But if your a lib you don't have to make any tough decisions ,
just have compassion for everyone , blame Bush , it's Iraq.
To be a lib is the most GUTLESS position to have . Stand for everything
and do nothing about it!!!
I guess I was wrong , I guess people only care about goverment
when it hits their pocket books !!!!!!!!
It's your money people , wake up !!!!!!!
Thank God again we have good people in our local goverment !!!!!!

Town Meeting Tonight
Tonight I will be attending a special town meeting concerning the
purchase of two trucks for the Fire department to upgrade
their water trucks.
Cost is around $94,000.00 for two.
The towns people will vote to autherize the town
spending $64,000.00 on a loan to purchase them.
They already have $30,000.00 already.
Aldo we need to authorize by vote on how much to borrow on road
repair for next year.
I fully understand we need better equipment for the fire
department but want to make sure we are getting the best
price for the best equipment . Did the fire department do
there homework?
Also we need the equipment , but how much am I going to
fork out in more taxes? Our assessed value went up 72% ,
will my taxes go up 72% ?
Also we have around 850 residents in our township.
How many residents will show up ?
At most monthly meetings for our township there are at most
one , two, or three people showing up at the last couple of meetings.
One person runs the recycling center (He's there to get paid) .
One person has been from the fire department ( he
wants to get two updated water trucks - $94,000.00).
And me, If I don't go no one would be there!
People BITCH all the time about Property Taxes
but never are interested in local goverment .
Don't get me wrong. The people we elected are good people
who care about our township! They care about spending in
our township! They are always there to do what they can to
better our our town. Their good people!
My problem is with the citizens who again BITCH but don't care.

If your a conservitve this makes a lot of sence.
If your a Lib or a true Dem, You say ;
"What does that mean?" "What? " " Can you explain that to me".
I've always wondered why Republicans insist on acting like Democrats in hopes of retaining political power, while Democrats act like us in order to win.

Hotel yanks CNN; says network is pro-terrorist
Wausau Daily Herald
ROTHSCHILD — Guests at one local hotel who switch on
the TV in search of the latest news no longer have CNN
as an option.The Stoney Creek Inn, 1100 Imperial Ave.,
in Rothschild has dropped the 24-hour news channels
CNN and CNN Headline News from its basic cable offerings.
Tony Magro, 76, of Barrington, Ill., stayed at the inn
Monday night and said he was told by a receptionist that
the hotel chain’s corporate office had issued a letter calling
for the removal of the channels because CNN aids terrorists.
“I’m not an activist, and I really don’t have any interest,
but that struck me as over the top,” Magro said. “I’m rather
zealous about my rights as an American citizen, particularly
when I’m paying for the service.”Magro, who was driving to
Michigan’s Upper Peninsula for the funeral of a friend when
he had car trouble Monday in the Wausau area, said he had
tried tuning in to CNN to find the latest news on today’s
mid-term elections.The channel was nowhere to be found,
and he received an updated channel listing from the front
desk today. The updated listing includes news channels
MSNBC, CNBC, Fox News, C-SPAN and C-SPAN 2.James
Thompson, owner and chief executive officer of Stoney Creek
Hospitality Corp., made the decision to remove the channels,
according to the inn’s corporate office in Des Moines, Iowa.
Thompson is out of the office today and was not immediately
available for comment.Stoney Creek Hospitality Corp. manages
10 hotels in Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and Wisconsin.
The 107-room inn near the Cedar Creek Mall opened in 1997.

Fall Election
Great to see such a great turn out for the election, Not.
Kind of puzzled about how the people of Wisconsin accepted
the statas quo.
It will be interesting to see when taxes start going up,
gas taxes up, licence and user fee's going up, we will have
to pay for all that spending some how !
Who will those poor saps blame for the problems they will see
in the future!
Looks like we should have one honest person in madison
as A G !
Remember the name Barbara Lawton!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Election Notes
Went to my township at 3:45 p m and was # 128 .
Poll workers say nomal off year election would be around
100 for the day .
Our township has a little over 800 residents.
Did the electronic machine, didn't take much time for me but
for some people it took some time.
In the major election in two years they might have
to purchase another one.
I was told the machine can do up 200 voters in one day.
A lot of people voted with paper ballots so save waiting time .
Now 5;45 p m , we will see what the results will be .
Did the base come out to vote?
My Concern
Going to take my mother to Green Bay shopping .
What a good son!!!!!!!!!!!!
As I leave I wondering how much voter fraud will go on
accross the country and in our state.
Why do the Dems need to hire 7000 lawyers for todays election?
How many Dead people will vote today?
"Acorn" seems to have been up to something?
How many hours ,days ,weeks or longer will we wait for results?
Dino Rossi. Washington State 2004 all over again !
Off to see mom and out to Vote , You all Have A Great Day!!!!!!!!!!

Town Meeting
Township meeting was at 7:30 last night.
We are lucky to have the people on our town board.
We are west of Gillett and have ( I thought I heard )
the highest property values in the county. It was our
familys choice to have lake front property so the taxes
we have to pay , we pay. The town board seem to know
they can only afford what they have money for.
We do not have a fancy town Hall, have a volunteer fire Department.
All together they are great people.
Thursday Novenber 9th, 2006 Special meeting
for two new chaises for water tank trucks for fire dept.
Estimated cost $94,000.00 Est. loan for chaises for
trucks $64,000.00.
Also spending for road work for 2007.
If you care about taxes be there to vote.

Where do I vote??????????
From the Appleton Post Crescent , an artical about
people that may be disapointed about not voting in
the 8th district election .
LINK
Read my thoughts at the end of the report.
Posted November 3, 2006Political lines drawn to some voters' dismay
8th District's southern boundaries split off part of Outagamie County
By Jim Collar Post-Crescent staff writer
More than a month of dueling advertisements and heated debate will
soon give way to a vote.
But more than a few area residents could be in for a surprise when
they arrive at the polls Tuesday and find John Gard and Steve Kagen
missing from their ballots.
Why the confusion? The Fox Cities sit on the border between the
6th and 8th congressional districts.
The southern border of the 8th District — which will be represented
by either Gard or Kagen — generally follows the southern county
lines across Waupaca, Outagamie, Brown and Kewaunee counties.
A few short miles through the Fox Cities provide the exception.
Sherry Freimuth, who lives in Buchanan, assumed she would have
a vote in the 8th District race. There are plenty of campaign signs
just down the street from her house. Unfortunately, the district
border runs down her street, and her home is on the wrong side.
"We didn't know that," she said, when shown a map.
"That's a big disappointment."
Kimberly and a portion of Buchanan are the only locations in
Outagamie County that won't have a voice in the race.
The areas sit in the 6th District, where Republican Tom Petri
of Fond du Lac is unopposed for re-election.
Sandy Haas, deputy clerk for Kimberly, a village of more
than 6,000, said she's had to explain the district
boundaries to several voters.
"I've received some calls from people who received
their absentee ballots and are wondering why
(Kagen and Gard are) not on there."
Boundary confusion
Confusion likely runs deeper than those few absentee voters.
While all of Kimberly falls within the 6th District, campaign
signs for Gard and Kagen speckle lawns throughout the village.
One resident displaying a Kagen sign said he since learned
he was out of the district, but still wanted to show support.
Another was surprised to learn Petri was his representative.
Others couldn't be convinced that the race wouldn't be on the ballot.
So, just who does get to vote in the heavily contested race?
Most of Appleton sits in the 8th District. The southwest corner
of Appleton located in Winnebago County is the only portion of
the city represented by Petri.
Waupaca County is entirely within the 8th District.
Towns in the Heart of the Valley are where the border becomes
most confusing.
In Buchanan, the 8th District carves out a peninsula within a
residential area east of Outagamie County N. On some streets,
a resident could stand in the 6th District, look through two blocks
of the 8th District and see the 6th on the other side.
Buchanan Town Clerk John Derks said he expects his poll workers
will have to give plenty of explanations to voters come Tuesday.
Outside of Appleton, Harrison's 9th Ward is the only area in
Calumet County included in the 8th Congressional District.
Don't look for its voters to swing the election toward either
Gard or Kagen.
"We have four registered voters in Ward 9," Harrison Town
Clerk Penny Weir said.
Confusion could extend beyond border areas.
The candidates have advertised heavily, and the local television
and radio markets extend far beyond the district borders.
Oshkosh, for instance, sits within Petri's district, though its
residents are equally bombarded by network TV ads as
voters in Brown and Outagamie counties.
Oshkosh City Clerk Pam Ubrig said her office hasn't been
inundated with questions, but a few voters have been
curious as to why the Gard-Kagen race wasn't on their ballots.
Census shakeup
The district border was set by the state Legislature four
years ago in response to the 2000 census.
Michael Keane of the Wisconsin Legislative Reference Bureau
said district boundaries are redrawn after each census due
to population shifts. The goal: Have each district represent
the same number of people.
The new district lines, approved by the Legislature in 2002,
were more drastic than usual because the state lost a member
of Congress in the last census, Keane said.
Derks said efforts to balance population on each side of the
6th and 8th district line explain the confusing border in Buchanan.
"There was no common sense to it other than population."
Before the 2002 change, Little Chute and Combined Locks were
with neighboring Kimberly in the 6th District. The change might
contribute to the confusion in Kimberly given the close
proximity of the villages.
Josh Young recently became a Kimberly resident and decided to
go to the Internet to determine his representative. He expected
he'd be in the 8th District. He was wrong.
"I had no idea Petri was here," he said.
He's now surprised to see Kagen and Gard campaign signs
posted in his neighborhood.
Regardless of where the border winds, it's a race where most
everyone has an opinion.
Municipal clerks have noticed.
"We've had some people disappointed," Weir said. "
They felt they watched the ads for nothing."

Mom, He Does't Take Medicare Patients
Wisconsin 8th District election for Congress in Wisconsin.
To My Dear and loving mother of mine.
I would like to give my mother a personel post about Dr Steve Kagen.
I know we diagree on politics , I know Franklin Roosevelt and
John Kennedy were great presidents. I know your beliefs run deep .
I know you had a hard life living through the depression.
I know you didn't have the most wonderful marrage .
I know one of your son's ( me) wasn't the best son you had ! I know
you had a mother and father that their grandson is and will always be
proud of . I was the one sitting on my grandmothers knee in that picture
when I think I was one.
I know you and only you taught me your faith,
your honesty and your love for family which sometimes I may forget.
I am writing this to say when you beleive in something, you should at
least say it and not keep it inside . To say what I believe in is
whats important to your children , grandchildren and
great grandchildren . What you believe is your choice but there are
times when I must give you my opinon. Obviously , I cannot talk to
you one on one because what I say you will not believe . Because I
may be the only conservitive ( republican) in the family, you will
not believe me . You only believe what is said on CNN or see on
local T V. I know you may disagree with that comment but that
is what I believe.
That is why I ask you this question.
If Medicare is important to you, why would Dr Kegan not take
Medicare patients. You may say that is a lie so I ask
you to read the following ;
Information from the press media from Milaukee . Thanks Charlie Sykes
for information.
One of the most remarkable things I've seen in this generally
bizarre campaign is the fact that Steve Kagen -- the millionaire
doctor running as a liberal Democrat for Congress in the
Green Bay area -- refuses to participate in Medicare or
TRICARE (the program for active duty and retired military.)
This is a guy who wants government-mandated health care,
but refuses to participate in the two programs.
Ninety-five percent of the doctors in the state participate,
but not the Democrat's great liberal hope.
If you do not believe that comment , please call Dr. Kegan at
1-800-255-9355 and ask him !
Is Medicare not important to you and all seniors?
Why will Mr. Kegan not help people on Medicare or Tri care.
If he wants to help people who cannot afford healthcare,
why doesn't he particapate in Medicare programs in Wisconsin?
I'm sorry but you and all seniors deserve to get help from our
goverment, not turned away from health care when they need it .
Yes mom , I love you but I believe canidates running for office in
Wisconsin should be willing to be honest .
If you care for all seniors and care for what is right ,
Mr Kegan is not someone I can trust to be my voice in goverment.
This is not a democrat or republican issue , this is a issue of what is
right for seniors.
Sorry , I am voting for John Gard to protect seniors from people
that say one thing and do another. Yes we have problems in
health care but we need people to fix the problem and not put
the burden on your grandchildren. Can you look at your own
grandchildren and tell them you don't care about there future.
They will end up paying more and more for yours and someday
my health care . I cannot do that to Sam , Joe, Dave and Tyler .
Hope you will at least accept and understand my position on
this election.
I can only give you and only you credit for my beliefs in God and
belief in my country. It may not mean much but you are
one great lady who I respect , not always agree with but also someone
I love very much.
Thanks for listing .
You son.
