Mark Green weighs in on John Wiley-UW Chancellor

This is in regards to an article being posted in Last Friday's Badger Herald about the UW Roman Catholic Foundation. The issue is at stake if Wiley is going to make deep cuts into the funding of St. Paul's Univeristy Catholic Center (UWRCF). First, I want to say shame on John Wiley for putting a double standard on faith based organizations on campus, especially St. Paul's. Many faith based organizations are being funded by ASM, and I think the attacks that Wiley is doing is predatory and unconstitutional within context of the First Amendment, that Wiley is singling out a particular religion on campus on the basis of funding. The Lutheran, Muslim, Jewish, and other faith based orgs on campus do receive money from ASM, but why are Catholics being treated differently than other organizations? Second, I want to criticize ASM for also putting a roadblock to St. Paul's in its attempts to get funding. ASM's stigma of corruption lives with how it diburses funds from segeregated fees to student orgs on campus. Tim Kruse the Director of Development for St. Paul's has been infuriated and attacked by this process and he has never quit on St. Paul's. Tim has done a great job to make sure St. Paul's becomes visible on this campus. I am a member at St. Paul's and I go to mass regularly. I appreciate the efforts Tim has done to make this a part of campus for all Catholic students to have an outlet to express their faith. Third, with Mark Green now in St. Paul's corner, it sends a message that St. Paul's has someone to fight with to make sure that St. Paul's in not discriminated. The problem is left wing activist legeslation attacks Wisconsin values. Mark Green has once and always will protect the values of what makes Wisconsin great. We hope that once elected, Gov. Mark Green will make sure that no student organization on campus will be discriminated because its religous.

Tax Day Has Passed, WE HAD ENOUGH!!

On April 17th, all of us taxpayers all sent in their taxes at the Post Office. I want to say, I did mine ahead of time, and got a huge chunk of change back. Sadly, we are being taxed to the limit in Wisconsin. We are the seventh highest taxed state in America, Maine is the number one most taxed state in the nation. Because of this, our seniors are moving out of state, and our college grads will go to Illinois or Minnesota to find their new jobs. Mark Green on tax day, said enough is enough at rallies in South Milwaukee and Green Bay. Mark Green when he gets elected will force the legeislature into a special session to pass a new property tax freeze, and pass the Taxpayer Protection Amendment. This is something that our state needed at least twenty years ago. Many of the teachers unions and government sector employees are complaining about the TPA saying it will raid services, what it will do is force government to do more with less. The TPA limits government growth and tax spending. People want more money from their paychecks, not high taxes. We want a government that is responsible but not large. We need common sense back in Wisconsin, and I want to appluad Mark Green for his continued stands on who he will be Wisconsin's Taxpayer Hero.

Welcome Back

I am back blogging after taking a while off to visit family, take care of some stuff, and watching the Badgers in Milwaukee win their first NCAA hockey title in 16 years. With the elections becoming high drama, Right Out of Dane County will focus on this along with other issues that matter the most. Right now is a great time to be a republican, and we are happy to hear that we are still in the fight to this day to know that Mark Green and Paul Bucher are still in the running to win. Welcome back, and lets have some fun leading up to election day.

Freedom from Religion Foundation Needs to Just Get a Grip

Also, I want to post my disgust about the latest nonsensical action the Freedom from Relgion Foundation is doing, asking Oshkosh to not have an angel statue at Menomonie Park, because it violates church and state. Violate church and state? It claimed that the City is using a religous symbol, and it should not be on city property. The United States Consitiution does not list this in the first amendment, it only lists that the government should not declare an official religion. Jeff Wagner claimed on his website on WTMJ radio is that angels are not the same symbol as Jesus Christ. That is agreed. So not only add this, but an bunch of non-sensical lawsuits and demands they have tried to go after such as:

• Claiming the RA's in the UW-System should not have bible studies
• That the UW should not fund St. Paul's Catholic Center on campus.
• Now, claiming that angels are religous.

I am a practicing Catholic, and finding out that they want the UW to cut funding for the catholic center is absrud. This is one my favorite places to go on campus and I am a member of that organization. Associated Students of Madison and the UW Board of Regents do fund all faith based organizations including catholic, jewish, islam, and protestant organizations on campus. So, there is a slippery slope going on. There is an logical fallicay with the Freedom from Religion Foundation.

Two, with the RA case, thank finally the UW Board of Regents for getting their heads out of their butts and knowing that what Lance Stieger done was not unconsitiutional. Lance Stieger had this right knowing he did not force it on anyone.

Three, with now this case directed towards the angels, I am accusing the Freedom from Religion Foundation of being anti-christian, anti-faith-based, and anti-catholic in an extreme manner. Their mission is to divide and conquer our land with their ultra liberal approach.

It is not just Catholics, but all religions that are getting attacked by this extremist agenda only to dividing society.

This is why liberalisim in the extreme sense attacks the core of our fabric of society.

Doyle Asks Falk to Run: Houston we Have a Problem!!

Houston we have a problem. The problem is that Kathleen Falk is not running for AG out of her own ambition, but because good old Gov. Doyle asked her to do so. It all stems down when Peg Lautenschlager had a DUI conviction in 2004. I bet this was what he hid as far for the accountablity he wants to hold Lauthenschlager to.

The Morning After Pill Lawsuit by Latuenschlager, Another Reason Why We Need Paul Bucher

I am so apalled by Ms. Peg Lautenschlager for her actions as she is trying to pursue her frivilous agenda in terms of lawsuits that waste taxpayer money. The subject of the lawsuit is of the morning after pill. Lautenschlager wants the morning after pill over the counter and without a prescription for a reason: to cut taxes. Cut Taxes? This is nonsense. This is NOT what an attorney general is supposed to be doing. Also, Peg Lautenschlager claims that there is an economic benefit to abortion, because it would elminate medicaid and Badger Care payments for unwanted pregancies. Paul Bucher said on his blog: "The Current Attorney General just said that lowering taxes is a reason to terminate babies." Now the statement revealed against Lautenschlager does prove she has an activist agenda, something an attorney general should NOT have while being an AG. Two, there is no economic right for abortion. All life is sacred in general, and abortion for economic gain is wrong and immoral. I am an adopted child at birth, and I truly am blessed by the holy spirit to live life and even be in a position to graduate from UW-Madison in a year and a half from now. Getting back to the main tone of what I am posting, a attorney general fights cases in the courtroom for the good of our citizens, not activists and special interests. To go after a special interest lawsuit like the one Lautenschlager is doing is a total waste of time and taxpayer money. I agree with WTMJ's Jeff Wagner that the lawsuit is pathetic. I would say it would be pathetic that an AG wastes our hard earned money for activist agendas, especially claiming that abortion has economic good. None of my textbooks on ethics claim so. More than ever we need a leadership change from top to bottom, and Paul Bucher is the most qualified candidate that will resurrect the DOJ. Wisconsin voters have a chance this year to claim back the DOJ and doing so by voting for Paul Bucher.

A Special Series Coming to Right Out of Dane County

I wanted to tell you that there will be a special series coming to Right Out of Dane County. The issue is about the state of college athletics and Right Out of Dane County will go no holds barred to present a common sense approach. I will be at the NCAA Frozen Four in Milwaukee in two weeks to take a look at some of the most touchy, political, and contreversoial issues in college athletics.

A sampling of what we will cover:

Should Athletes Get Paid?
What Does hosting the NCAA Frozen Four for Milwaukee and the Midwest Regionals in Green Bay mean on all levels other than having the Badgers Play?
Beyond The Brackets
Corporate Involvement in College Athletics?
Betting
Title IX-It has accomplished a lot, but why it needs to be reformed?
The Arms Race between colleges in terms of facilities, etc?
State of D1 College Athletics at UWM, Wisconsin, Marquette, and UWGB?
Improper Benefits and NCAA Rules, Is the NCAA getting Out of Hand?
Fan Behavior Issues

I will post these topics after I get back from the Frozen Four in Milwaukee. We hope you will look at these topics and we will offer real solutions that you will not find on ESPN, CBS, or FOX Sports.

Jim Sensenbrenner-A Fighter At All Levels

James Sensenbrenner will be winding down as chairman of the House Judiciary Committie.

Here is a quote that brilliantly states about Sensenbrenner's take no prisoners attitude:

"People who go along to get along in this town don't get anything accomplished. Look at what my style has gotten enacted into law"

This describes that Senesenbrenner is relentless in standing up for what is right for Wisconsin. I know his term will end under GOP rules, but this article should remind us that polticians like Sensenbrennner have to wrestle like heck to stand up for what is right. Liberalisim like one of my buddies back at the UW said is mental disorder that attacks the fabric of our nation. Read this article, and you will find out why James Senesenbrenner is on the democrats hit list.

Feingold and His Censure Grandstanding-It Shows He is telling Wisconsin to talk to the hand

Well, so Russ Feingold is off to being his old liberal self again. Now, with the censure he has wanted to do with the president, I ask is he really showing Wisconsin the back of his hand. Russ Feingold has a listening session in every Wisconsin county every 12 months, so I ask one thing listen to the people who are getting sick of your way left wing approach, especially in the republican dominated regions in Wisconsin. I hope they give Russ an censure he'll never forget. This shows that Wisconsin cannot take a huge liberal shift, especially this election year.

With The Barry Bonds Book Going on The Shelf soon, Congress needs to reform Mr. Bud Light the Commissioner of MLB

With all the congress investigations of steriods in baseball, what maddens me the most is Congress not attacking all out at Mr. Bud Light, yes Commissioner Bud Selig. As the book about the Barry Bonds allegations will be released? I have some questions to ask Bud Selig if I were serving on the House committie dealing with the steriod issue?

1. Why have you been waiting so long to get a steriod policy, and why do you say it is the policy to end all policies?

2. If So, why does it lack teeth, and why are you showboating on this issue?

3. If Barry Bonds refuses to talk about the issue to the media, why are you not investigating the issue? I would like to know why baseball in general has it administrative heads stuck in its butts about reforming America's Pastime other than steriod reform?

4. If Jose Canseco is so honest about Ralfael Palmerio and Mark McGuire taking steriods in his tell all book, and with the Palmerio suspension uncovering the truth, why are you not taking action? Man, you are defiently a Bud Light when it comes to being comisssioner.

As we approach the opening of what could be a exciting Brewers season, I want to jump a little to my agenda if I was the commissioner of MLB:

1. ALL Teams will adhere to a salary cap including the Yankees. This will give the Brewers a better chance of winning.

2. There will be a stricter sterioid policy:
First offense: 1 season
Second Offense: Lifetime Ban, but can apply for reinstatement after three years.

It's time to get real man. Don't need to brag, but my policy will end all Selig policies.

3. Pete Rose will be let in the hall of fame, he has never bet on the Reds, so therefore he should be in the hall of fame for breaking an untouchable mark, breaking Ty Cobbs record.

4. There will be equal revenue sharing, off TV contracts, and whatever that keeps small and mid market teams competitive.

5. Making sure that we keep America's pasttime affordable for all families.

6. Expanding the playoff system.

16 Teams 8 AL, 8 NL

Quarterfinals: Single elimination
Division Series: Best of 5
LCS and World Series: Best of 7.

Hopefully as I will have my eventual hot dog and Miller High Life at the ballpark, I hope that baseball fans will take a serious examination of consience before judging on Barry Bonds.

Madison and Appleton are Suffering Big on Smoking Bans in Bars

It would be close to one year since Appleton and Madison posted very contrevorsial smoking bans. Yes, I am an non-smoker, but you need to know one simple opinion, it is up to the bar owners to decide if smoking is allowed not the government. I personally know a bowling alley owner back up in Appleton who at one time was my marketing teacher at Appleton North. I talked to him, and he said: "As a business we do not need to be told what to do with smoking." If we believe in that, then why is it we hear that popular joints like the Green Room and Sports Pub in Madison and The Bar in Downtown Appleton are on the brink of going out of business? In Madison, the only bars that are surviving are the downtown bars. The bars on the far east and west sides are the ones who are suffering. Now, if another large city in Wisconsin wants to pass a smoking ban in bars, they should take a few days and a few dollars along to bars in Appleton and Madison, and see the effects of their biased legisltion. They should ask the bartenders if they are still surviving, and if so ask what are they going to do to get through the tough times. This leads to hopefully the State of Wisconsin will finally pass a statewide bill that will allow smoking in bars. People like to drink and smoke in the bar. Now, where do those people go, they go to Middleton, Sun Prairie, and Fitchburg to smoke and drink. The suburbs are getting the business. As an election year apporaches I hope that those seeking elected office will tackle this issue, and find a way to protect the bars.

John Mercure's Uncut Blog Is a True Breath of Fresh Air

I wanted to post something of a blog I have been seeing called Mercure Uncut. It is by John Mercure an investigative reporter for WTMJ-TV 4 in Milwaukee. I wanted to give his blog two personal thumbs up. John Mercure is like the only journalist in the State of Wisconsin out of all media markets (Green Bay/Appleton, Madison, Milwaukee, Superior/Duluth, LaCrosse/Eau Claire, and Wausau) to actually tell like it is. With how much spin and half-truths the current news media goes around, John Mercure goes over the top for a reason. What I was impressed was about one of his posts in which his cameaman's lens got smacked, and Mercure got almost assualted over a wedding video scam while uncovering the truth on camera. Mercure explained his reasons, and how often do you hear this from a journalist? Rarely. John Mercure is an courageous journalist who does not want to be denied. We hope that John Mercure and what he does inspires more of the media to finally do whatever it takes to get the real story reported.

His blog is at:

Another Oracle Contract, More Tainted $$$$$$$$

There was another no-bid contract for Oracle again, and again allegations rise of more tainted $$$ in Jim Doyle's war chest. Don't we just consider to look at the last time an Oracle contract was just signed, and there was more tainted cash. Get the picture? This is what pay for play tactics damage our poltical system. It is time to take back our government on election day.

Keep The Door to Hope Open

I applaud at last finally an increase on the number of kids that can be admitted in with school choice in Milwaukee. This means that more kids can escape the hell of Milwaukee Public Schools to achieve their dreams. If I would be living in Milwaukee right now, I would never ever put my kids in Milwaukee Public Schools. I would seriously consider private schools for my future kids like Milwaukee Marquette or DSHA. But, still the cap needs to go. A cap is not a number, but a barrier for kids in low income neighborhoods to achieve their dreams. Jim Doyle and his buddies at WEAC are fearing this right now, they are fearing that their grip is slipping, and it is slipping as Jim Doyle's approval rating falls like leaves right now. Mark Green is committed to ending the cap. Mark Green is the only candidate republican or democrat that has submitted a real proposal to ending the caps on Milwaukee School Choice. Lastly, I would consider expanding the Milwaukee Voucher Program to the entire state of Wisconsin. Madison, Green Bay, and some other large cities in Wisconsin could use this program. It is time to give parents and their kids the choice on where they want to go to school, not bureaucrats.

Justice Is Finally Served

Scott Jensen was found guilty yesterday in Dane County Court on three felony counts of misconduct in public office during the caucus scandal. That means Scott Jensen could face up to sixteen years in prison after his sentencing. This means right there that all along Scott Jensen was committing sabotage on the Republican party. When he tried to incriminate both Mark Green, Scott Walker, and Tommy Thompson, the jury found that he did it only to cover the lies he produced on the witness stand. For Republicans, this is nothing to worry about because Scott Jensen was out to divide and conquer the republican party. On a last line, I hope they put Scott Jensen in the same prision cell with Chuck Chvala, now talk about a fight.

For Heavens Sake Put The Damage Caps Back Into Law

Again we have another chance for Wisconsin to reintroduce an meaningful noneconomic damages cap of $750,000. Again, please get this signed into law before Wisconsin becomes lawsuit heaven. It is sickening to see that laywers from out of state are taking advantage of Jim Doyle's polticial gain by coming to sue the heck out of doctors. I have heard enough radio ads on WIBA driving to wrestling tournaments I referee that convince me to keep our doctors in this state. In the ad I heard, that some doctors will not have enough lawsuit insurance to keep them in Wisconsin. I mean, doctors move to Wisconsin because in some states like Illinois medical malpractice lawsuits in Illinois are out of control. Having a damage cap stops frivilous lawsuits before it starts. It is time that Mr. Doyle puts families first before trial laywers. Because if this is the fourth veto, I mean our doctors will have hard time doing business in this state.

Mark Green's Stand on the Death Penalty Is Innovative and an example to follow

With the divided senstivities on the issue of the death penalty, I endorse Mark Green's opinon of the death penalty, and adding the DNA evidence provision to prove guilt before execution. Mark Green has in the best way adressed to both sides of the issue, and has the best plan in which I think every state that has the death penalty should follow to. I have friends back at the dorm I live at in which their home states have the death penalty, and yes they beleive that DNA evidence should be used as a basis for conviction that involves exceution. Those I know from out-of-state say that death penalty appeals are a huge problem. States like California and Texas should look at what Mark Green is doing. Yes, it should be used rarely, but in the recent time it could of have been used for certian murder cases especially the ones of David Spanbauer and Kenneth Hudson. Those who are sadistic, evil, cruel, and show no remorse to their victims should be imposed the same fate, in which they imposed to victims. But the DNA evidence link is key to broad support of this law. I commend Mark Green for his innovative approach to this touchy issue, and we hope that once November comes people will vote for a candidate like Mark Green in which puts families first.

Governor Doyle Is In Trouble

When you know that a candidate cannot get approval above or at 50%, you know a candidate is in dire trouble. This is the case with Jim Doyle. Doyle is at 41% approval rating right now. The lowest in a few years. This shows right there that people are getting totally fed up with Mr. Doyle. Jim Doyle is having a serious problem facing the truth, and every accusation of tainted campaign cash proves right there that yes, we need a change, and we are getting sick of this administration. The ethical demise is just the first problem he is facing, and it will continue to unravel on election day.

In Memory of Kirby Puckett 1960-2006

I wanted to post my condoloences to the family of Kirby Puckett, the State of Minnesota, and the entire Minnesota Twins organization, players, and its fans on the sad and untimely passing of Kirby Puckett. I was never a Twins fan, but I remember watching him when I was young, and admired the talent he brought every day. Learning more about him as he was able to get out of the projects of South Chicago and was able to become a hero for an entire state, is an inspiration in the true word. Everyday, I live with the belief nothing is impossible with God. Kirby Puckett lived true to this belief, as his trademark smile and body is what fans will remember forever. Kirby Puckett, was able to become a true hero, one for an entire state. In this day of big money, Kirby Puckett was a true hall of famer by playing all his career with one team. Not too many sports stars do this today. When an athlete who wants more money keeps on bickering, he should take the time to look at what Kirby Puckett has done. Kirby Puckett defined excellence on and off the field. I know these days will be rough for the Twins and their fans, but the best way they need to do to get over this is to just play in his memory and play on emotion. My prayers go out to the Puckett Family, The State of Minnesota, and the Twins organization, its players, coaches, staff, and fans in this time of need. Kirby, thank you for making baseball great, and being an inspiration to the lives of all people. May the power of the holy spirit, let Kirby Puckett #34 rest in peace.

The Scott Walker Sleaze Machine

I am so disapalled by Scott Walker and his false advertisement towards Mark Green. Scott Walker is completley misinterpeting Mark Green. This is the first step of noting that Mark Green is the clear cut choice for governor. Mark Green supports both two-thirds funding and a real property tax freeze. Scott Walker is starting to put his sleaze machine against Green in which is sabotaging the Republican party. Now when you see the letter on www.votemarkgreen.com, you will find out that a majority of Wisconsin's senators and represenatives want Mark Green, in fact this state wants Mark Green. It is time for Mark Green.
