Wisconsin Conservatives – The Battle Has Just Begun
November 3, 2010
Conservatives won across the board in Wisconsin last night. But the battle has just begun. We cannot just assume that those who we elected will represent our conservative values because of their party identification. We must now hold them accountable. The liberals are not going to lie down and accept that Wisconsin is a conservative state. They are going to fight back. We cannot take time off or stop paying attention. The battle continues on to the spring local elections and then to the 2012 elections. Within 2 short months another important date will have arrived.
January 4, 2011 is the filing deadline for Wisconsin’s Spring 2011 nonpartisan elections. The primaries will be held on February 15, 2011. Then the General Election is April 5, 2011.
Among the races held in the spring are School Board, County Executive, County Supervisor, Mayor, Alderperson, Town and Village Board Member, Municipal Clerk and Treasurer, Municipal Judge, and WI Court of Appeals Judge. These offices hold considerable sway over much of our daily lives in Wisconsin. At a time when taxpayers have less money in their pockets, school boards across the state are ignoring this fact and are hiking property taxes. In fact, the Northern Ozaukee School Board just raised property taxes by a whopping 20%!
We must mobilize and be prepared for the spring elections. The spring primaries in Wisconsin do not generate many voters. For instance, in Milwaukee County in 2009, only 4.3% of registered voters made it to the polls. These low turnout numbers make it all the more important that conservatives are aware of these dates. It also presents a great opportunity to get conservatives on the ballots. We must take advantage of this opportunity!
Conservatives need to step up and run in these local races. Since a near majority of Wisconsinites consider themselves to be conservatives, we need to ensure that we do our part to put conservatives on the ballots. Conservatives must continue the fight for freedom. Will you do your part?
I would love to see WI turned around. The Liberal bastion of Madison and Milwaukie are of far left progressive idealisms. With likes of Joel Rogers and progressive organizations thay need to be dismantled without compromise.
I was there in Madison Saturday — from St. Louis, MO. A suggestion: https://law.justia.com/wisconsin/codes/2010/946/946.12.html
If they continue to refuse to show up to work at the capitol, then the Wisconsin Attorney General should file a “Quo Warranto Petition” to remove the AWOL Democrat Senators from office. Call the office of Wis. AG John Byron (“J.B.”) Van Hollen at 608-266-1221 and urge his office to take action.
