Robert Taylor -- US Senate candidate in Wisconsin -- fully endorsed by the CP-Wisconsin
www.RobTaylorforsenate.com Needs your help to gain ballot access!!
Is Rob Taylor electable? Yes I am! Is he constitutional? You bet I am!
This question is one that appears in many circles and is the concern of
many groups and voters. So let’s cut to the heart the matter. Let’s
look first at what we have been given in the past. For many years we have
not had a US Senator who can or would follow the basic tenets of the
Constitution. In fact, we haven’t had too many from either party who have
provided us with any real assurances they will follow the Constitution. One only has to
look at the voting records and the bills that have come from Congress to see
that. This country needs leaders who will defend and support the
Constitution. We need statesmen and leaders.
I am one of those leaders. First I am an average, middle class working
man. My responsibility has been to provide for my family and my
community. I have put my career as a software engineer on hold to pursue
this path. I am not in this for power, fame, or a career. Second, as a
leader in my community, I am a three (3) term elected city councilman in Cumberland, WI
with a record of voting on issues to help my fellow citizens to make sure the
city is spending the people money wisely and to provide a fair and
balance between the government, the business community and the people. Not
an easy tasks. I have been in this race since March of 2009, which makes
me the longest running candidate of them all, even liberal Democrat incumbent Russ Feingold.
I am electable, and I can win. I know the people of Wisconsin are ready
for a leader who will follow the Constitution, a leader that will push
for the state of Wisconsin to have authority and freedom from the federal government according to
Article 1: Section 8 and the Tenth Amendment,
a leader that will not just say cut taxes but who will actually get in there and
eliminate wasteful and unconstitutional programs and federal departments.
But I am only electable if I can get on the ballot. That is why I need
your help, Wisconsin needs your help and the country needs your help. We
need signatures and I can cover only so much space within the time frame
required, just a couple weeks now. So please, get the petition sheet from my web site, which you can
also find on the home page of www.wisconsinconstitutionparty.com, print it
off and send me two sheets (20 signatures), yourself and your family, friends, neighbors. If you
can get ten signatures or one sheet, whatever you can do is appreciated Send it to me at

Napolitano has it right.
We have a One Big Government Party system. It has a Republican wing that likes war and deficits and assaults on civil liberties and a Democratic wing that likes welfare and taxes and attacks on commercial liberties. It doesn't care about your freedoms because in exercising them you are an obstacle to its power. ...And it will do anything to stay in power."- Judge Andrew Napolitano

The Rules of Due Process
The Rules of Due Process
I will work with the state of Wisconsin to ensure that “The rules of due process” are the People’s Power to control the machine we call government and get the redress for our grievances that millions died for!
The legal industry has hidden the rules of due process from you and from the rest of the public, so lawyers can charge exorbitant fees to do what any 8th grader should be able to do. Due process is your #1 right, because without it none of your other “rights” are enforceable in court! But! To enforce your rights you need to use the rules!
The Constitution mentions due process. It doesn’t begin to explain what due process is or how to use it to control courts … and thereby to control judges, lawyers, giant banks, high-minded government officials, or even angry neighbors! Can we Americans afford not to learn the rules? Due process is the power of the people to control their government by controlling the courts!
I believe it’s criminal for a government to refuse to teach its People how to use due process to enforce the People’s God-given rights! But, our leaders refuse to teach us the rules by which they control us! So I will work with the state and other educational units to get this education put into place. The citizens up until around the 1900’s knew Due Process and we should to.

New ICE rules for illegal alien detainees
IMPROVING DETENTION
ICE and the private prison company Corrections Corporation of America have agreed to make more than 24 changes at nine facilities. The changes include:
• Relaxing security: Low-risk detainees will have "freedom of movement" in the facilities and will no longer be subject to lock downs or lights out.
• Access: Detainees will be able to have visitors stay as long as they like within a 12-hour window. The facilities will increase attorney visitation space, add un-monitored phone lines and give detainees email and free, Internet-based calling. A unit manager will be available to take complaints directly from detainees.
• Daily life: Detainees will be allowed to wear regular clothing, will have at least four hours of recreation daily, and will be offered cooking, art and dance classes.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials are preparing to roll out a series of changes at several privately owned immigration detention centers, including relaxing some security measures for low-risk detainees and offering art classes, bingo and continental breakfast on the weekends.
The changes, detailed in an internal ICE e-mail obtained by the Houston Chronicle, were welcomed by immigrant advocates who have been waiting for the Obama administration to deliver on a promise made in August to overhaul the nation's immigration detention system.
The more than 24 changes identified in the e-mail range from the superficial to the substantive. In addition to "softening the look of the facility" with hanging plants and offering fresh carrot sticks, ICE will allow for the "free movement" of low-risk detainees, expand visiting hours and provide unmonitored phone lines.
ICE officials said the changes are part of broader efforts to make the immigration detention system less penal and more humane.
Union objects
But the plans are prompting protests by ICE's union leaders, who say they will jeopardize the safety of agents, guards and detainees and increase the bottom line for taxpayers. Tre Rebstock, president for Local 3332, the ICE union in Houston, likened the changes to creating "an all-inclusive resort" for immigration detainees.
"Our biggest concern is that someone is going to get hurt," he said, taking particular issue with plans to relax restrictions on the movement of low-risk detainees and efforts to reduce and eliminate pat-down searches.
The changes outlined in the ICE e-mail are planned for nine detention centers owned and operated by Corrections Corporation of America, including the 900-bed Houston Contract Detention Facility on the city's north side. Some of the changes will be implemented within 30 days, while others may take up to six months, said Beth Gibson, ICE's senior counselor to Assistant Secretary John Morton and a leader of the detention reform effort.
Some of the other major changes include:
• • Eliminating lockdowns and lights-out for low-risk detainees.
• • Allowing visitors to stay as long as they like in a 12-hour period.
• • Providing a unit manger so detainees have someone to report problems to other than the guard.
• • Allowing low-risk detainees to wear their own clothing or other non-penal attire.
• • Providing e-mail access and Internet-based free phone service.
'It's about deportation'
Gibson said the improvements are part of ICE's efforts to detain immigrants in the least restrictive manner possible while ensuring they leave the country if ordered to do so.
"When people come to our custody, we're detaining them to effect their removal," Gibson said. "It's about deportation. It's not about punishing people for a crime they committed."
ICE officials have faced pressure from immigrant advocates and some members of Congress to improve the detention conditions for the roughly 400,000 immigrants it houses annually. The agency has relied on a hodgepodge of more than 250 government-run detention centers, private prisons and local jails to accommodate its growing population — with roughly one in four detainees held in Texas.
At the CCA facilities that have agreed to ICE's changes, detainees will see more variety in their dining hall menus and have self-serve beverage and fresh vegetable bars.
CCA also plans to offer movie nights, bingo, arts and crafts, dance and cooking classes, tutoring and computer training, the e-mail states.
Detainees also will be allowed four hours or more of recreation "in a natural setting, allowing for robust aerobic exercise."
CCA also committed to improving the look of the facilities, such as requiring plants, fresh paint and new bedding in lower-risk units.
Advocates pleased
Some of the improvements offered at the CCA facilities counted as hard-fought victories for immigrant advocates, including plans to improve visitor and attorney access.
"A lot of these measures are what we've been advocating for," said Lory Rosenberg, policy and advocacy director for Refugee and Migrants' Rights for Amnesty International. "Many of these points are very important to changing the system from a penal system, which is inappropriate in an immigration context, to a civil detention system."
Union members said they have concerns about the plans, primarily focusing on safety.
Rebstocksaid some detainees may be classified as low-risk because they have no serious criminal history, but still may be gang members that "haven't been caught doing anything wrong yet."
He also said eliminating lock downs will make it more difficult to protect detainees from one another. He said reducing or eliminating pat-down searches could allow contraband into the facilities, including weapons.
Gibson, with ICE, said the agency is developing a sophisticated classification system and will make sure "that our detainees are still safe and sound."
"As a general matter, it will be the non-criminals who don't present a danger to anyone else who are benefitting from the lowest level of custody," Gibson said.
Cost to taxpayers
Rebstock also questioned the cost to taxpayers for the changes.
"My grandparents would have loved to have bingo night and a dance class at the retirement home they were in when they passed away, but that was something we would have had to pay for," he said. "And yet these guys are getting it on the taxpayers' dime."
Gibson said CCA is making the improvements at no additional cost to ICE. The agency's latest contract with CCA for the Houston detention center requires that ICE pay $99 per bed daily for each detainee, which is slightly lower than the $102 average daily rate ICE pays nationally for contract detention facilities.
Rosenberg said some of the changes, like new flower baskets, may seem small, but they will combine with the bigger changes to make a difference in the daily lives of detainees.
"Taken together they will go some way to making this system less penal," she said.
