  • Playing Dirty to Get Green
    Jul 12, 2009  - As Democrats in the House were working to ram through their “Cap-and-Tax” legislation before the Fourth of July Congressional Recess, all in the name of saving the environment, behind the scenes – at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) – they were busy covering up a study on climate change bec...

  • Column: Taxes, Taxes and More “Green” Taxes
    Jun 30, 2009  - On Friday, June 26th, Democratic leaders in the House of Representatives rammed through a nearly 1,500 page national energy tax bill, which included a 300 page amendment they inserted at 3 a.m. on the day of the vote (meaning: supporters of the legislation didn’t read what they were supporting), tha...

  • Column: Freedom and Fun on the Fourth
    Jun 25, 2009  - The Fourth of July is fast approaching.    Organizations are putting the final touches on their parade floats and local bands are practicing their music in preparation for the grand march.  It is sure to be a day full of family, fun and festivities.    The birth of the United States – the day w...

  • Column: Sensenbrenner Says Pass on PASS ID, Keep REAL ID in Place
    Jun 19, 2009  - On June 15th, a few Senators introduced the PASS ID legislation, which would repeal REAL ID and return America to the security standards we had in place on September 10, 2001.  Those standards allowed 19 terrorists to manipulate our own forms of identification to bring this country to a standstill a...

  • Column: Offering an Energy Solution
    Jun 12, 2009  - The Democratic talking points often claim that Republicans don’t offer solutions.  The reality is that as the minority, the solutions we propose, such as our budget plan, are often ignored when the Democrats set the agenda.  As the debate over our nation’s energy supply continues, Republicans are ...

  • Column: The Digital TV Transition is Fast Approaching
    Jun 1, 2009  - On June 12, the transition to digital television will be complete.  I’m encouraging everyone who has not yet taken the needed steps to do so now. Households that are already hooked up to cable, satellite or another form of pay television service do not need to do anything.  These households will no... More
  • Column: Putting the Memorial Back into Memorial Day
    May 22, 2009  - Monday begins the unofficial start of summer.  Pools across the country are opening, picnic tables are being wiped clean from a winter of gathering grime and grills are being fired up for the season’s first cookout. The long weekend is often one of celebration and relaxation.  And while many of us ... More
  • Column: Governor Doyle and Internet Taxes = Double Trouble
    May 18, 2009  - Lately, the Democrats have been really into IPODs.  First, the President gave the Queen an IPOD with his speeches on it as his gift (at least the IPOD worked, unlike the DVD’s the President presented as the official gift to Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown), and now, Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyl...

  • Column: Not the Change Kenosha was Hoping for
    May 11, 2009  - The “restructuring” of jobs at the Chrysler Kenosha Engine Plant is a prime and realistic example of why I voted against the bailout funding, the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) and the other mass amounts of spending Democrats have done over the last few months in the name of “economic recovery...

  • Column: Financial Literacy 101
    May 4, 2009  - Last Wednesday, the House and Senate passed the Democratic Budget Conference Report, the non-binding budget for 2010.  While this report is not gospel, it does provide the blueprint budget recommendations to the Appropriations Committee.   In only 100 days, the new Democratic majority and the Obam...
