I have no idea why I look at your blog. Every single day I read something that pisses me off. I can write to my senator, unfortunately since mine is a Democrat, we have no representation, which also pisses me off.

So to simplify the story, we have a dirtbag governor who was elected by a bunch of ignorant fools because they did not listen. As an avid outdoorsman, including a trout fisherman, this move makes me ill. The defunding of the parks, which is an economic boost for areas within a large radius of each park, is utterly stupid. The proposed mine would have been an environmental and economic disaster, and it is still out there. James, what do we need to do to get rid of this low life human being who only tries to benefit his donors?

I understand. I feel this way every time I go to a policy hearing, or read, or listen to people still inside government trying hard to do the right thing, against huge odds. Politics brought us this mess and organizing can be the remedy. Information helps, no matter how discouraging. Everyone needs to work hard at it. That's about all I can say, except thank you for writing. We're all in this together.

I know that DNR has loosened the regulations for permitting fish farms. Coincidence? http://secure.wisconsinaquaculture.com/Docs/634.PDF

Here's an idea: Fifty of you and for friends call media, tell them you are having a news conference at one of the effected polls, then show up and say "Hell, no," and this idea will get shelved. This is a ready-made story for TV.

And with a win comes more confidence and success.
