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.”

A Message from RWN-endorsed Vilas Sheriff Candidate, James Maillette

Dear Voter,


My name is James Maillette and I am running for the office of Vilas County Sheriff. I am asking for your vote in the upcoming Republican primary on September 14th. I am a constitutional conservative, a strong leader, and a vocal advocate for fiscal responsibility at all levels of government. I am running because I believe outside of the box thinking and a business like management philosophy will be required to effectively run the Sheriff's Department in the coming years. Whether it is impending budget shortfalls, or evolving criminal practices, I believe we can no longer afford to maintain a reactionary posture when addressing upcoming problems.

What is the job of the Sheriff?

“To uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution is our primary duty and our sworn responsibility.”

~Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Maricopa County, Arizona

Like Sheriff Joe, I believe that understanding and protecting the Constitution is the most important duty of the county sheriff. I have been endorsed by the Republican Liberty Caucus specifically because I understand the Constitution better than anyone else in this race. As your Sheriff, my priority will be to ensure that in Vilas County the Constitution of the United States is upheld as the supreme law of the land, and that your rights are protected from anyone who would seek to infringe upon them.


Secondly, I believe your Sheriff should be a man of the people; approachable, involved in the community, respectful, and trustworthy. The sheriff is your representative in the law enforcement community, accountable only to you, the citizens of Vilas County. As a department outsider, I believe I am the candidate that can truly represent your best interests.


What I am offering you:


Proactive Leadership: The job of sheriff isn’t about being a cop; it is about being a good leader. The sheriff must be proactive, not reactive. He must understand what challenges the future has in store, and preemptively prepare for them. As the holder of the highest degree attainable in the intelligence field (Masters of Strategic Intelligence - with honors); I am the only candidate capable of preparing our officers for the law enforcement demands of the uncertain future we are facing, as I am the only one who has taken the initiative and advanced my understanding of today’s complex security environment. For over seven years, I dedicated my time and money to the study of areas such as Terrorism & Counterterrorism, Homeland Security, Industrial Espionage, Criminal Law, Threat Analysis, Tactical Intelligence, and Counternarcotics Operations, so that I would have the knowledge base needed to make good decisions on your behalf.


I am also the only candidate that brings with him the discipline and sense of duty gained by serving one’s country in the military. I will apply at your department the leadership skills I learned in the Army, where I served as a Scout/Sniper and Sniper Team Leader in 1/508th Airborne Battalion Combat Team (ABCT); as an Assistant Reconnaissance Team Leader in the 82nd Airborne Division’s Long Range Surveillance Detachment (LRSD), and as an Intelligence Analyst in the 397th Engineer Battalion in Eau Claire. Having conducted extensive training with police and military personnel from around the world, I believe I am uniquely suited to identify and correct the training deficiencies that currently exist in our department. I will work to properly fund and train your tactical response team, which is currently underfunded and under trained, and will work to put in place much needed physical fitness standards for all department personnel.


Protect You From Intrusive Government: You need to look no further than my opponent to find the threat of increasing government intrusion, as he has expressed the desire to issue more citations in order to increase department revenue! Despite a 9.8% increase in union salary costs over the last two years, or the $17,000+ per year health insurance coverage he receives, my opponent maintains that it should be you the taxpayer who foots the bill for the department’s irresponsible spending habits. Despite his 33 years of police experience and his 18 years as a union representative, my opponent still fails to differentiate between what is, and is not, the proper role of government in our lives. I believe that in a free country, law enforcement should only be used to ensure the peace, and should always attempt to have as minimal an impact on society as possible. Law enforcement should never be used as a tool to collect revenue for the purpose of offsetting budget shortfalls! If elected, I will work to protect you from unreasonable revenue collection efforts such as that which my opponent is proposing, I will fight on your behalf when my opponent and his union negotiate their new contract next year, and I will stand up for your rights when outside government agencies come here to Vilas County.


To Run Your Department Like a Business: My opponent has continually said throughout this campaign that “You can’t run the Sheriff’s Department like a business, because a business can fail, and the Sheriff’s Department can never fail.” I adamantly disagree. Just like businesses, governments can and do fail; and if we don’t make major changes in the way we do things at all levels, ours will fail as well. Budget cuts are coming whether we like it or not, and I believe we must be proactive in planning for them. I plan on adopting a lean business model at the sheriff’s department, and promise to cut costs at the administrative level before terminating the positions of the people we need the most- our deputies and detectives.

Contrast this with my opponent, who despite all the evidence to the contrary, has continually refused to even acknowledge that the economic situation we are facing will have any effect on us here in Vilas County. He has steadfastly taken a hard line approach, saying time and again that the “department is run as bare bone and as efficient as possible.” And in typical union fashion, my opponent has promised that if faced with budget constraints, he will first move to eliminate the positions we value most as a community, such as our prescription drug detective. In short, he is using fear as a tool against you, attempting to scare you into thinking you will be “unsafe” if you don’t give him the funding he is demanding. It is an old and effective tactic, but one that I believe has been used one too many times. What my opponent fails to even recognize or acknowledge, what we in the free market have known for some time now, is that there is no more money to give!


Having owned and operated two businesses here in the Northwoods over the last nine years, and having served in a consulting capacity with a number of others, I know what it is like to run on a tight budget. I will value every dollar allocated to the Sheriff’s Department as if it were my own, and will establish a culture of fiscal frugality. In the business world, we know how to distinguish between luxuries and necessities, and I believe it is time for those who know only government to learn the difference between the two as well.


In Closing, I am running for this office because I truly believe we are living through historic, atypical times. More than anything else, your next Sheriff will have to be proactive and creative; he must be able to think outside the box, as the problems of tomorrow will be much more complex than those encountered in recent years. I believe that the combination of my military experience, educational background, and time spent in the business world make me the candidate best suited to deal with the uncertain times ahead. Because of this, I am asking for your support and for your vote in the upcoming republican primary on Sept. 14th.


Your friend in Liberty,
James Maillette

Grand Opening of Our Conservative HQ was held July 19

Area conservative groups, including the local Tea Party group known as the Northwoods Patriots and Republican organizations including the Vilas County Republicans and Republican Women of the North, held the grand opening of their new headquarters at 155 S Railroad Street in Eagle River. All members and voters were invited to an Open House to celebrate the opening of the new headquarters on Monday, July 19.

Wisconsin Lieutenant Governor Candidate Dave Ross, the current Mayor of Superior, spoke to the group, sharing his values, accomplishments and conservative vision for our state. As Lt Governor he intends to support the efforts of the new Governor and be an advocate for small business as the state works to rebuild its employment base and foster economic growth.

Dan Meyer also spoke to our group, sharing his frustration as member of the minority in the Assembly working to keep the spending and legislating in check and his optimism for the sessions ahead where conservatives need to be effective leaders.

Various campaign literature and yard signs were distributed as the groups work to promote conservative candidates in the upcoming primary September 14 and general election November 2. Candidates who are members of the Northwoods Patriots or Republican Party are invited to provide their literature for display (see Vilas GOP memo to members regarding our rationale for supporting candidates). An large array of Northwoods Patriot and new Republican clothing was and continues to be available at the Headquarters.

While the three groups maintain separate memberships, meeting schedules and initiatives, they share common goals of conservatism and adherence to our US Constitution. The new Conservative Headquarters will be the host location to future meetings for each of the three groups and has separate membership literature to promote their unique positions and initiatives. All are invited to attend and bring friends and neighbors who would like to get involved in the conservative movement.

The convenient downtown headquarters is situated between D and S Mobil and Alexander’s Pizza, with plenty of free parking right across the street.

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.

Northwoods Climate Change Debate held Saturday by Northwoods Patriots

The Northwoods Patriots did hold their scheduled event Saturday, January 30 at the Eagle River High School.  The Northwoods Climate Change Debate featured two nationally-known experts:  Dr. Willie Soon and Dr. David Legates.  Please read Kim's summary from the event and her reply to almost 100 comments that have been entered on one of the national media websites that picked up her story!

From Kim Simac:

Thanks to all Northwoods Patriots for the advice and encouragement. During our Climate Change Debate yesterday we held open two empty seats, signifying the unwillingness of advocates to engage on the subject. Hopefully this stems from the realization that it is only a matter of time until the curtain falls on their whole charade.Invitations went out to over 220 high schools, several local school boards, teachers, and other area notables. Actually in attendance were one school board member, two teachers and one student.  About 150 other interested citizens also attended. As far as media were concerned - one local NBC affiliate, Vilas County News Review, News of the North (NNN Web site), two independent reporters, and a few bloggers. Nor did any representative or faculty member of the event’s host location:

Northland Pines High School in Eagle River that thought a lecture given by the head of Climatology at the University of Delaware was worth their time, despite the fact that they had traveled across the country to give it in their own facility. I am very thankful to all who helped make the event possible. The Northwoods Patriot group worked very hard to make this a success, and without their efforts it would not have been possible. I especially want to thank Dr. Soon and Dr. Legates, who took a weekend out of their lives to travel to a small outpost in the Midwest and explain to us the basis of their convictions. Perhaps the biggest travesty of all is that, besides the evidence of data on climate change being manipulated, brilliant men have to take time away from their other endeavors to fight for the integrity of basic scientific enquiry.  Their main concern is not only that the true story on climate change is being manipulated but most importantly, that scientific enquiry is being compromised.

After having the honor of spending a bit of time with such brilliant minds as Dr. Soon and Dr. Legates, it is clear that theirs is a gift that comes with much responsibility. Their level of intelligence that is so clearly above the masses is the reason why mankind advances. Shared with their colleagues all over the world, it is their job to discover life’s secrets and the mysteries of our planet for those who will come after us. Shameful is the fact that such a large segment of gifted people have sold out on their potential success for grant dollars and job security. They have lost their quest for discovery and settled for a mediocre place in history. So will be their legacy!We are supporting Dr. Soon and Dr. Legates and people who agree with them. They are out there on the front trying to fight for the truth and it is getting ugly for them.

Getting the press coverage on this story (like right here on pajamasmedia) is what made the whole effort a total success!  Folks around the country are finding that the other side has “NO COMMENT”  Spread the word! Post this story everywhere!  END THIS SHAM!As for their names, I have them. Maybe I should put it out there, not sure. I am just a little fry and in the days to come it is going to get pretty ugly for their side of this debacle. I will think about it! NEWSFLASH: Best thing yet!!!  In attendance were some who supported global warming. I commend them for coming, especially my neighbor. He stopped by today to thank us and let us know that he had tried to get others to attend. He too was embarrassed by the lack of attendance from those in our community and for the first time is considering the thought that perhaps the motives behind all of this climate change may not be rooted in true goodness. Most important was the handshake we shared and the step we agreed to take to mend the bridges that have divided us here in our small town. Left/Right is a tool that is being used to conquer America. Get rid of that and the prospects for regaining the strength and integrity we once had will be good.
