                                                      It Can't Happen Here

 The gun control debate is punctuated with screams from the left of "We are NOT trying to take your guns!" We are told daily that they wish only to enact "REASONABLE" gun laws. We are promised that legislation that leads to registration will NEVER lead to confiscation.  We are repeatedly "reminded" by the anti-gun activists that confiscation has NEVER happened here.

 Or has it? To quote from our Declaration of Independence, "let facts be submitted to a candid world" :  See InfoGraphic.

            Our response to the use of Nullification



Normally,  we would stay out of this and pursue our own methodology for fighting the exchange and Obamacare.   But we have been asked our opinion of the nullification effort by a few Wisconsin Tea Party groups and particularly an opinion on the flyer being circulated espousing nullification.

We have seen and read this flyer.  Unfortunately, it is rife with errors.  In our opinion, it will do considerable damage to the Wisconsin Tea Party Movement and, by implied association, every group within it regardless of their respective stand for, against or neutral on the position advocated in the flyer.  We wish to state at the outset here, that we once upon a time supported nullification in 2009 but we have been better educated by constitutional scholars, including those in the Nullification film cited in the flyer.  We no longer see this as a reasonable and viable solution; rather, we now see it as a dangerous and destructive course of action.

Responding to Tom Woods Critique of WiGOL’s Stance on Nullification

Apparently, our response to some of our fellow Wisconsinites regarding the nullification flyer being circulated in Wisconsin came to the attention of Tom Woods, author, speaker, lawyer and entertainer. He has, according to his Twitter posts, “taken apart” our answer to the call from other Wisconsin groups to nullify Obamacare.  Rather than contact us to clarify his assumptions, he placed a number of words in our mouths and put forth the notion that he understands our thinking and where we stand.  This is a disappointment considering he has had our contact information for more than two years.  In spirit of debate, we can oblige him the same courtesy he gave us as we cover his points in this rebuttal.

For the purposes of full disclosure,  we once shared Dr. Woods stance on nullification, in large part due to his book “Nullification”. We no longer do so, in large part due to our conversation with him on August 28, 2010 in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.  Some of our members attended the speech that Dr. Woods gave that afternoon at the invitation of Campaign For Liberty. Then afterwards, we talked with him well past midnight.

Update and Correction: 

It has been brought to our attention that in our on-going “debate” with Dr. Tom Woods over the legality and effectiveness of the nullification doctrine; we have erroneously ascribed to Dr. Woods more education and expertise than he professes to possess.  We apologize to Dr. Woods for holding him in higher regard than he believes we should.  We concede that he is an author and entertainer, just not a lawyer.

There also appears to be some concern over our stating it was a “late night meeting” to describe the many hours we spent discussing implementing nullification after his Eau Claire speaking engagement.  In the spirit of transparency, we would like to clarify that this was not a scheduled meeting but simply that we sat for many hours talking with Dr. Woods after the event exploring his views.  Other people were present and contributed to the conversation as well.  We hope this clears up this piece of minutiae because we need to return to the more important topic of successful nullification efforts.  Read more...

                                       Wisconsin Paid Volunteer Problems Uncovered

Milwaukee –  During the recall mania that swept Wisconsin in 2011 and 2012, the Democratic Party of Wisconsin brought in what amounted to political carpet baggers serving as paid volunteers helping the DPW recall efforts.  Utilizing the Verify the Recall database and the public documents in the Government Accountability Board databases; Wisconsin GrandSons of Liberty uncovered more than two dozen paid volunteers with pay check address that weren’t the same as the ones used on the recall petitions they circulated. 

One such person is Benjamin Kidd who lists his current occupation as “Regional Field Director” Montana Democratic Party from July 2012 to present.  Previously, he was a “Field Organizer for Recall Walker Campaign” for the Democratic Party of Wisconsin.  From the sampled recall petition data, Benjamin Kidd certified 119 recall petitions and claimed three different residences.

Benjamin Kidd’s most common address was 3009 Chatam Street in Racine.  Except the Racine property tax rolls only show a Chatham Street.  Evidently Benjamin Kidd was a house guest of Robert R. Henzl a notable attorney and appointed member of the Stadium board.  While Mr. Henzl has the right to associate with whomever he chooses, could this be a conflict of interest since he serves on an appointed board that is only accountable to the Governor which the DPW was actively trying to remove.

Mr. Kidd also claimed 1529 E. Hartford Avenue in Milwaukee as his residence.  This property belongs to Stephen B. Swigart, the Executive Director of Wisconsin Community Service, Inc. and signer of a recall petition to remove Governor Walker.   

For one day, Dec. 6th, 2011; Mr. Kidd used 7984 W. Appleton Avenue in Milwaukee for his residence as he certified five recall petitions.  This particular address on Appleton Avenue was the NW Recall Office for the Democratic Party and it was also a Barrett campaign office.

One final address Mr. Kidd used was for his DPW paycheck.  According to campaign finance records, Benjamin Kidd received $1500 in wages from the DPW on 1.13.2012 and his payee address shows a Post Office Box in Coker, Alabama rather than any of his Wisconsin addresses.

This wasn’t the only “address impaired” individual working for the DPW address.  Another paid DPW operative, Tim Rayburn, used five different addresses in the recall for Governor Walker and Senator Galloway.  Unfortunately, four of the five addresses do not exist per the Kenosha County Property Inquiry application.

Verify the Recall was a joint venture between Wisconsin GrandSons of Liberty and We the People of The Republic. More detailed formal complaints will be delivered to the district attorney’s office for review and investigation for falsifying petition certification as punishable under S. 12.13(3)(a) Wis. Stats.
