My first forum

Here are some reviews of our first forum.

CONSTITUTION RISING

The Rock River Patriots had their first series of conservative candidate forums January 8th. Two of the candidates running against Russ Feingold attended the forum. Dave Westlake (Republican) and Rob Taylor (Constitution Party).

Each candidate was allowed an opening statement around 5 minutes long explaining their philosophy. Then each candidate were asked questions with a 3-5 minute time limit for their answer. The questions were not available in advance.

The weather outside this evening was bitter and sub zero, but over 60 brave men and women packed the room to listen, question, and take to task the men who aspire to the United States Senate. After the brief introductions, the moderator began firing out questions. Among the audience were quite a few seasoned patriots.

Many topics were addressed with questions covering Real ID, Taxes, The USA Patriot Act, Terrorism, The Federal Reserve, The United Nations, The Second Amendment, and the eligibility of Barak Hussein Obama to be the Commander in Chief.

The Republican candidate, Dave Westlake, was not well prepared for most of the hard hitting constitutional issues, constantly making notes, twitching in the hot seat, while trying to soft sell most of his Neo-Con Republicrat answers. While on the other hand, the Constitution Party candidate, Rob Taylor, whom traveled a long distance to field questions in Westlake's backyard, quickly eroded the home field advantage by being stoic,and true in his answers. We the people are starting to see the light, that more of the same old same old will not be acceptable in this upcoming Senate race. The crowd approval of the concepts of a smaller, constitutionally restricted government, resonated loud and clear.

Mr. Taylor showed his commitment is solid and serious in this campaign. His views of no federal income tax, ending the Federal Reserve, an unrestricted Second Amendment, states rights, bringing our troops home now, and zero tolerance on illegal immigration were definitely the will of the majority in attendance.

Mr. Westlake was outclassed tonight by a true American Patriot. The people are waking from their slumber only to find that their country is gone and the road to restore the Republic is narrow, straight and true. This 2010 election will prove to be the deciding factor in the future of our great nation. If the people of Wisconsin rally for truth and liberty, rejecting the Republicrat agenda, the United States will have a third party in Washington.




CPOW folks: Last night in the very fridged weather at Jefferson WI public Forum for candidates Rob Taylor our candidate for US Senate did well VS his Repulican opponent Mr. Westlake. Both candidates are new to the Statewide race. Although both candidates are conservatives, Rob Taylor came off as better even though this was not a debate officially. Rob stuck to his guns on Constitutional answers and quoted chapter and verse as needed. However this audience was very Constitutionally minded so no smoke and mirror answers would have worked. Both caught some "friendly fire" from the audience which is good. The moderator had tough topics prepared and the event was well timed and moved along, no bunny trails. Be assured Rob Taylor made new friends from the Rock River Patriots group who hosted the event. About 40 attended due to bad weather down here and the usual--apathy. But all in all Rob did well and was respected by the very constitutional-minded audience.
I saw 5 CPOW board members there. Good turnout in terrible weather. Thanks Rob for driving 4.5 hours to attend, God will bless your moxie. Bob Bellard, 2nd district CPOW


Not speaking as a Rock River Patriot because, as a group, we do not endorse candidates.

Having said that. I personally completely agree with this assessment.

I am going to let everyone I know, know about Rob. His beliefs are mine. On a few issues Dave was Ok, on to many he just didn't get it.

Nothing will change with Dave in office. The same would would happen simply at a slower pace.
