National School Choice Week EVENTS Jan 26 and Jan 27

Celebrate National School Choice Week

January 26 - Eagle River
January 27 - Woodruff

National School Choice Week will sound
call for immediate education reform.

Citizens from across the Northwoods will gather for a screening of the award-winning documentary, The Cartel on January 26, 2011 and January 27, 2011 to commemorate National School Choice Week.

Kim Simac, Founder of The Northwoods Patriots, is confirmed as a speaker at the event. This FREE event, which is sponsored by The Northwoods Patriots, will take place at 7:00 pm at Vilas Theatre at 214 East Wall Street in Eagle River on Wednesday the 26th, and on Thursday the 27th at 7:00pm at the Lakeland Cinema located in Woodruff, Wisconsin.

The Cartel—which portrays a public education system that is beholden to special interests, ignores the needs of parents, and misallocates hundreds of millions of dollars intended to help children—has served as a rallying cry for advocates who want to give parents immediate educational options for their children. The trailer and reviews are available at: http://www.thecartelmovie.com/

National School Choice Week, January 23-29, 2011, will shine an unprecedented spotlight on the need to dramatically improve educational outcomes for children and will highlight the benefits of school choice programs. Tens of thousands of people are expected to participate in events across the country during the week, which is being organized by more than 150 national and state groups.

“This event in Eagle River will continue an important debate on the need to provide parents with access to the best schools for their children,” said Kyle Olson, executive director of National School Choice Week. “At the end of the week, we hope that more parents will begin to demand enhanced educational options for their children and that lawmakers in Wisconsin and across the nation will take notice.”

Celebrate Constitution Day - Sept 17

A Message from Jolene, who is working for Wisconsin's families: (1-800-662-1227)

Are you aware that Friday, September 17 is Constitution Day in America? How will you be spending this day? Will you take some time to read our federal and/or state constitutions? Will you take some time to educate a young person in your life about the importance of our Constitution in ensuring our fundamental rights and restraining an overreaching state and federal government?

On Thursday, September 16, numerous citizen groups from around the state that support the Constitution will be sponsoring a special education session with esteemed Judge Randy Koschnick here at the State Capitol. Judge Koschnick will speak on "How the Wisconsin Constitution Links to the U.S. Constitution." The presentation will start at 12 Noon in Room 412-East, State Capitol, and is free and open to the public. Disabled parking is available at each of the main entrances to the Capitol.

America's Essential Documents: U.S. Constitution - http://www.loc.gov/rr/program/bib/ourdocs/Constitution.html Bill of Rights - http://www.loc.gov/rr/program/bib/ourdocs/billofrights.html Wisconsin Constitution - http://www.legis.state.wi.us/rsb/2wiscon.html Declaration of Independence - http://www.loc.gov/rr/program/bib/ourdocs/DeclarInd.html The Federalist Papers - http://www.loc.gov/rr/program/bib/ourdocs/federalist.html Gettysburg Address - http://www.loc.gov/rr/program/bib/ourdocs/Gettysburg.html

If you do not have a copy of the Wisconsin Constitution, it can be found on Page 193, of the State of Wisconsin Blue Book (2009-2010). If you do not have a copy of the Blue Book, you may request a copy from your elected officials by contacting the Legislative Hotline at 1-800-362-9472. The Blue Book is also available on-line at: http://www.legis.state.wi.us/lrb/bb/09bb/index.htm

While researching their website recently, I see that The Heritage Foundation is making copies of pocket U.S. Constitutions available to the public. http://www.askheritage.org/premium.aspx

As we see various judicial activists serving on America's courts looking to foreign treaties, statutes, and case law in rendering their extreme decisions, we need to remind citizens that the United States is a Constitutional Republic consisting of elected representatives of the people acting in accordance with Constitutional law which involves a separation of powers to the various branches to restrain the government's power against the people.

I hope you will be able to join us as we remember the founding of our country and help maintain this great experiment in freedom and liberty known as America.

Vilas County sheriff's candidate, James Maillette, addressed the group as well as Mr. and Mrs. Verhulst who spoke on behalf of Pastor David King who is running for Secretary of State.

Terri McCormick's Meet & Greet Last Wednesday - Enlightening!

We had a terrific visit with Terri McCormick last Wednesday, April 14 in St. Germain, WI.  For introduction, she talked about her background, family's heritage, how her family influenced her growing up and still impacts how she approaches challenges today.  We then had a great discussion about her campaign and a number of issues currently facing our country and Wisconsin. 

The need for independent thinkers, free-market problem solvers, and liberty-minded candidates has never been more evident.  Terri represents the Libertarian-leaning Republican in Wisconsin's 8th District with a strong will to uphold our Constitution.  Take time to listen to her speech and follow-up discussion at the Northwoods Patriots Meeting that was held April 13: Click here to listen

In doing our research, we found McCormick is ranked quite high among Liberty Candidates around the country for dedication to core principles (LibertySlate website - candidate ranking):

LibertySlate 2010 ranks non-incumbent candidates based on five fundamental issues in regards to spending, debt/economy, foreign policy, civil liberties, and entitlement programs. Additionally, we consider both website quality and chance of winning as factors in the ranking of the non-incumbent LibertySlate 2010 candidates.   

We encourage you to explore Terri's website and become familiar with her experiences in private and public sectors and her strong educational background.  She has given speeches to college students as part of the Campaign for Liberty and most recently attended and spoke at the Wisconsin Campaign for Liberty Conference (click for video).  She is also active in the Republican Liberty Caucus, an organization working to reform the Republican Party from within and restore our country's adherence to the Rule of Law and our Constitution.  

She will be back in our area May 8 - for our Great Debate Day of the North so please plan to attend - where you will hear from all candidates in Wisconsin's 8th Congressional District.

Protest Takeover of Wisconsin Elections - April 13, Eagle River

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact:  Kim Simac
Northwoods Patriots

Eagle River
, WI
715-479-8784


Northwoods Patriots and Concerned Citizens to Stage Protest -  Senate Bill 640 and Assembly Bill 895 - Takeover of Wisconsin Elections -  scheduled to be voted on this month in Madison


On Tuesday, April 13, 2010, numerous Northwoods Patriots and concerned citizens will gather in Eagle River to protest the proposed takeover of Wisconsin elections as set forth in Senate Bill 640, and Assembly Bill 895, that may be scheduled to be voted on this week in Madison. The group will meet from 2:45 pm to 3.45 pm in the parking lot behind the Century 21 - Burkett Real Estate office on the corner of Hwy 45 and Wall Street in Eagle River, located next to Walgreens and across from the Friendship House Restaurant.

“We are appalled and shocked that our own Senator Jim Holperin would be one of the authors of this bill.” stated Kim Simac, leader of the Northwoods Patriots. “This is outrageous and I think he has some real explaining to do. I emailed him on the subject last week and still have not received a reply. Aside from the fact that this bill is introducing legislation that will open the floodgates to voter fraud in the state of Wisconsin and add unfunded financial burdens to local municipalities, it is being ram-rodded through the state legislature with virtually little or no time for Wisconsin citizens to learn about it, let alone voice their opinion.”

This bill was introduced on March 23, 2010. On April 9th it was passed out of committee and scheduled for a vote by the full Senate prior to recess in Mid April. As of today's date this 72-page bill could be scheduled for a vote as early as this Thursday, April 15th.

The most alarming changes of the bill include:

The bill allows municipalities to set up satellite absentee ballot stations for early voting - including outside of bars.

In addition, permanent absentee ballot status would be established in which ballots would be sent to people who historically do not vote in low-turnout elections. This would mean not only putting an additional financial burden on municipalities, but even more importantly, create a system for voting where there are few if any checks to verify who actually returns the ballots. Currently, permanent absentee ballot status is restricted to people who are confined because of age, physical illness, infirmity, or disability.

The current open government practice of allowing any citizen to challenge individual ballots would end as monitoring of elections of statewide or national significance would be restricted to people who live within that polling district.

University ID's would be allowed as proof of residency. The problem is that these same students could be registered at their home addresses as well, allowing them to vote in both districts. Since it has become well known that ACORN, and like-minded special interest groups equally illicit, even pays college students to vote, this leaves the state wide open for voter fraud on campuses.

Another provision would automatically register everyone to vote when they renew their driver's licenses. While this sounds convenient, it is an unimpeded path to election fraud for there will be no way to ensure that anyone who knows a name and address doesn't just walk up to a voting booth and cast a vote. Plus, there is no system in place to manage the transfer of voter registrations like this when people move. This provision leaves us wide open and extremely vulnerable to voter fraud.

The bill proposes to set up a statewide database of voters that the authors said they would hope to link up to a national database. In fact, the liberal Democrats are using Wisconsin as the launch pad for this new voting scheme, planning to roll it out nationwide once it passes in Wisconsin.

“This is a shocking power grab of some extremist Democrats who are trying to change our laws so that more unqualified voters are able to vote and so that we are not able to determine whether or not voting fraud in fact took place.” stated Senator Glenn Grothman, 20th Senate District, who also has vowed to fight against Senate Bill 640 and Assembly Bill 895. “Ironically, the one voting change that most Wisconsin citizens request, a Voter ID, is about the only thing not included in this far-reaching bill that is being fast-tracked through the State Legislature” he added.

“This is an outrage” continued Kim Simac of the Northwoods Patriots. “And this is not a Democrat, a Republican, or a Conservative issue - it is an “American Voter” issue that will affect all of us. For if we don't have fair elections, we don't have anything.
