I
look at the far Left’s assault on Wisconsin and I say, “Are you
kidding?” As an outsider (albeit an admitted Green Bay fan with family
roots in Chippewa Falls), I join millions of Americans watching the
political shenanigans in Wisconsin. I am torn between just chuckling at
these radical liberal yahoos trying to oust an intelligent
administration that is fulfilling its promises, or raising a fist in
disgust at people sitting on their thumbs while Governor Walker and Lt.
Governor Kleefisch get thrown to the wolves.
Wisconsin, you deserve better than this!
You’re
the “Forward” state – part of the breadbasket that feeds America. Deep
woods, pristine waters, esteemed academic institutions, and shining
cities reside alongside the dairy farms dotting your picturesque
landscape carved out by generations of hard working Americans. In their
honor, and to assist the other 49 states, please continue to go forward;
don’t let 80 million political dollars – from outside special interests
– convince you to go backward toward debt, high taxes, unemployment,
and shuttered industry.
You don’t have to let those millions of
outside dollars flooding your state destroy the records and reputations
of your Governor and Lt. Governor, nor should the political dollars
dictate your state’s destiny. You have a choice: Retreat, or fight for
the positive reform you elected in 2010.
Governor Walker has left
the far Left unhinged, so he’s had to amass a war chest to fend off the
lies and dirty dealings in the capitol; and, thankfully, it’s predicted
he’ll survive his recall.
But the recall fight that is just as important is Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch’s. Please click this link to help her.
She’s
being thrown beyond the wolf pack – she’s also under the GOP
establishment’s bus because this Tea Party “Mama Grizzly” beat the
establishment candidate when she got elected. (And dang, it’s
uncomfortable under that chassis!) Rebecca must be thinking, “With
friends like these, who needs enemies?” Worse than seeing radical
Leftists attack and make things up about a Conservative female opponent
is when supporters on the Right sit on their thumbs and act as if
there’s nothing they can do to help. Come on! When all else fails you
can at least tell the truth! Tell other voters why you supported Rebecca
in the first place. Explain her campaign promises and how she has stuck
to them and – surprising in today’s political world – is actually
fulfilling them. She promised to help balance the budget, cut taxes,
build a sound fiscal environment, and provide job opportunities for all
Wisconsin residents – not only our union brothers and sisters. She’s
setting an example for every other state in the union because
responsible state and local governments will be the entities that defend
our Republic at a time when there is less and less reason to believe
our big centralized federal government will address its self-perpetuated
economic problems.
The far Left has targeted Lt. Governor
Kleefisch in particular because they know she’s been busy working and
hasn’t raised anywhere near the money Governor Walker has to weather his
recall. And get this: they are hoping to keep her off the same ballot
as Governor Walker, and instead they would love to put her on a ballot
during a Democratic primary in order to give her the worst voter turn
out possible. It’s viscous. She’s in the fight of her political life for
doing nothing more than what she and Governor Walker were elected to
do. If Wisconsin sees either of these two go down in defeat, it will
have a chilling effect on any public servant having the guts to do
what’s right.
This country’s future won’t shine exceptionally as
that “City on a Hill” if we cower, refusing to stand up to the radical
Left’s intimidation tactics. Their drive towards more government control
with selfish demands to incur more debt and halt efforts to rein in
unsustainable spending is seen clearly in Wisconsin. One thing for which
grassroots independents, conservatives, and blue dog Democrats should
be counted on is to take a stand and rush in to help people secure our
future by helping those like Rebecca Kleefisch when they need it the
most. Now is one of those times.
Michelle Malkin points out that
President Obama knows Wisconsin is ground zero in the Left’s battle
against limited government. And, as Michelle writes:
“If they can chill fiscal responsibility and free market-based reforms
in Wisconsin, they can chill it everywhere.” Concerned Americans, don’t
let them snuff out this Mama Grizzly’s successful efforts to fight for
what is right.
Grand Old Badger State: you are America’s blessed
30th state. Your natural and human resources abound. Even your state
motto promises a vision of “Forward.” So, as the eyes of America focus
on you, raise your voice in support of your state’s good destiny!
“On, Wisconsin! Champion of the right,
'Forward', our motto – God will give thee might!”
- Sarah Palin
