Anyone know anything about Greater Wisconsin Political Fund?

39. Response to #33

Sybylla,

Thanks for your comments. It's one thing to have public records, but another to do a mailing about it, specifically one in which the message is political. That political message is that the result of the last election was due to non-voters. That presumes (1) that the number of non-voters could have swayed the outcome and that (2) the non-voters would have voted one way. As to public records and responding to the school matters, I have taught in schools, and I responded to parents and members of the community when they needed me to do so. I never waited to check to see if they voted. None of my colleagues did either. We were serving the students, and no one shifted priorities based on voting records: our concerns were about the welfare of the students.

As to a free country, it's not. A case in point is the marriage definition bill that passed in WI a few years ago. That law (abetted by Bishop Morlino in Madison through a political message that was required to be broadcast in churches at the risk of pastors facing consequences if they chose not to play it) limits the actions of LGBT community. And that law was passed under the previous governor, without any effort on the part of the community to redress the flawed process that passed the law.

A free country and the recall of the governor are separate issues, as is the mailing, which remains a point of concern.
