A Word for My Fellow Badger Staters: VOTE!!!

A word of great import to Wisconsin conservatives

concerning the election on Tuesday, April 7:

The April 7 election is crucial for our state, with 

the effects from its results to be with us for quite 

some time to come. With the Wisconsin State 

Supreme Court currently at a 4-3 liberal advantage

and conservative justice Rebecca Bradley retiring, 

and a left-wing judge who would make perhaps the

most politically left-leaning justice ever to be on the

state's highest court running, fueled by record-setting

campaign contributions from wealthy liberals on both

the east and west coasts, Wisconsin Appeals Court 

Judge Christine Taylor will face Judge Maria Lazar, 

also an Appeals Court judge and a solidly conservative

jurist in the rapidly approaching election. A few items

of note: Judge Lazar is far behind in raising funds for 

her efforts while Lazar is rolling in the green. 

Personally, your fair-play supporting Peasant detests 

out of state fund contributions to candidates for local

and statewide offices, and this sort of strategy has been

integral to the success of Democrat and independent 

left-wingers in Wisconsin elections, but as there is no 

law against it then our side has to engage in same to 

some degree. 

But what has hurt conservative candidates the most in

some of these elections, particularly those for our 

state's high court, has been the failure of many conservative

voters sitting out those elections because of reasons ranging

from "President Trump/a Trump-endorsed candidate isn't 

on the ballot" to "I don't pay much or any attention to any

of the (non-national) off-year elections". To think that if we

had healthy turnouts like we did when Scott Walker ran for 

governor and when Donald Trump ran for the presidency

we could still have had a 5-2 conservative edge on the highest

court in the state! 

If Judge Taylor were to get on the court we would be saying 

goodbye to Gov. Walker's Act 10, which had cut the influence

of labor unions in the funding of public works and other state 

departments which has all this while been keeping taxes at

reasonable, easier-to-handle levels for Wisconsin taxpayers,

not just the upper-level earners but the middle-class earners

as well. We would furthermore be bidding state government's

meddling in parents' rights to get the counselling and the 

treatments they deem necessary for their sexually-confused 

children (boys thinking they are girls and vice-versa). 

This last concern also affects school athletics, mandating that

boys who think they are girls play on the girl's teams, never mind

that they have greater musculature and strength which could

seriously injure female athletes. In addition, such boys would be

allowed by mandate to be able to use the girl's rest rooms.

Your faithful Peasant could give many more such reasons as well

as reasons pertaining to other subjects of concern but for the 

lack of time and room to accommodate them.

Judge Lazar has stated many times in her campaign that she would 

be an interpreter of the law, rather than a legislator on the bench.

She also has a track record of pro-life rulings on abortion-related

cases while on the appellate court. Finally, Judge Lazar is no fan 

of allowing governmental units create red tape which would ensnare 

businesses, making difficulties for them to expand and to create more 

jobs. Wisconsin would resemble our neighboring states such as 

Illinois and Minnesota, which have solidly liberal governments

and a veritable lock on their states, causing many residents and some

businesses to flee to lower- and fewer-taxed states such as Florida 

and Texas. This would erode the state's tax base, making it harder

for Democrat governments to collect the tax revenue that they

would need for their programs and plans.

And what about backing for local police forces? Your frightful Peasant

Shudders to think about the consequences. Especially with our State 

Supremes being elected to ten-year terms. 

But all this could be avoided with our more fair and manageable costs 

of governance and its effects on the cost of living in Wisconsin, along

with fairer business regulations and certainly fairer criminal justice 

laws and support for our law enforcement people remaining intact 

and safe from the whims of a liberal state supreme court. But this 

won't happen if we all don't do one simple, painless thing which 

would be needed to preserve these benefits of living in Wisconsin;

We all must vote. Vote like our future as a state and as individual 

citizens depend on it, because they do. If you don't vote, you still 

will have voted, for if you choose not to decide at your polls you

still have chosen. 

Don't let the other side win by forfeit. One simple, easy act will keep

them at bay, and we will keep our great way of life: 

VOTE! DAMMIT, VOTE!
