The Republican Liberty Caucus of Wisconsin Supports Governor Scott Walker’s Budget Repair Bill
Release: February 18, 2011
Michael S. Murphy, Chairman
Terri McCormack, Vice-Chair
MILWAUKEE, WI. — The Republican Liberty Caucus of Wisconsin, a state affiliate of the Republican Liberty Caucus, officially endorses and supports Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's Budget Repair Bill. The decision to endorse Governor Walker and the Republican Legislation's efforts to pass the repair bill resulted in a unanimous decision amongst the RLC-WI's Board of Directors.
Wisconsin RLC Chairman, Michael S. Murphy, spoke in strong support of the repair bill. "The RLC-WI supports Governor Scott Walker and the Republican Legislation in their efforts to curtail runaway government spending. We also want to commend these brave lawmakers for standing strong against oppositional union forces, which have resulted in numerous threats to their safety already. The RLC-WI stands behind this effort 100% and we hope that not one Republican Legislator waivers in their decision to support this bill before it is made into law." Murphy continued, "We are especially proud of the seven RLC-WI endorsed State Representatives, who recently took office after winning their respective elections in November, 2010. They are truly upholding the RLC standard and keeping their committed promises to reduce government spending."
The seven RLC-WI endorsed State Representatives are: André Jacque (Dist 2), Jim Steineke (Dist 5), Chris Kapanga (Dist 33), Evan Wynn (Dist 43), Jeremy Thiesfeldt (Dist 52), Scott Krug (Dist 72), and Roger Rivard (Dist 75).
Although the Republican Liberty Caucus of Wisconsin endorsed Governor Walker's Republican Primary opponent, Mark Neumann, during the 2010 Republican Gubernatorial Primary, this bill to limit government spending falls right in line with the mission of the RLC.
Founded in 1991, the Republican Liberty Caucus works to advance the Republican principles of individual liberty, limited government, and free market economics. Learn more about the Wisconsin Caucus at WIRLC.org
Michelle Malkin on Lara Logan Rape – "Monstrous," but business as usual in Muslim World
Egyptian Attackers shouted "Jew, Jew, Jew" as they Raped her
Malkin:
If CBS News wants to do right by her, and right by all the other journalists who were attacked last week... what they should do is finally find some spine, and refuse to whitewash the truth about who these assailants were, [and] what they were motivated by...
that's what I mean about the whitewashing of Radical Islam. When will they finally speak truth to Islamic Caliphate power?
Hmmn? Obama leads Ron Paul by only 1 Point
And what of Lohan vs. Obama?
From Cliff Thies:
The latest Rasmussen Poll shows President Barack Obama in a statistical tie with Ron Paul, 42 indicating a preference for Obama and 41 percent for Paul. The remaining 17 percent broke down as follows: 10 percent undecided, 5 percent befuddled, and 2 percent dumbfounded.
In another potential match-up, President Obama was clearly ahead of Lindsay Lohan.
Editor's comment - Does drug-law reformer Paul have the edge over Lohan with the Anti-Drug War voters? Of course, the Hollywood actress has a bit of a history on the drug issue.
