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.

I apoligize for not getting my blog up to date. There has been so much going on. The more research I do, the more I find. I am so mad for not gettting involved sooner.

I am writing now in the examiner.com as the Barron County Conservative Examiner. You can find me at

I promise I will update us more.

Have A Merry Christmas

Bring Home the Politicians

A new campaign we are working with

Get the details

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELb9kvKhPPI

I believe that underlying all of the political agendas that are being hurled at the American people today The stimulus, the bail-outs, Health Care, Cap and Trade, Cyber security, Illegal Immigration, the betrayal of our national sovereignty, military readiness, and the ongoing evidence that our representatives are trying to grab more power and control than ever before in history has to do with the corruption of our understanding of freedom.

This corruption leads to the abandonment of respect for law and individual responsibility, the twin pillars which ought to secure true freedom.

Being a people of true freedom, our way of life depends upon certain moral ideas in dealing with issues of public policy. Those ideas have been abandoned for a long time and have been abandoned for the quest of power, not what is right for the country, but right for the parties.

We have a somewhat small document that contains the job descriptions for our representatives to run the country. That document is the US Constitution. I am running on the Constitution Party platform for the US Senate seat in Wisconsin in the 2010 race because I believe that principles over party matter more now in our history than ever before. The voters need to take a look at the alternatives and make the decision to get the country back to the basics of this document.

Summer and Fall events

Wow, the campaign has not only come to life but has grown legs and starting to march forward. It’s been since I last posted back on July 28th that now I have time to catch everyone up. All the event has been captured on the events page in my web site. It has been fun and exciting to campaign all over the State and meet up with some really great people who are supportive in the efforts. Fall is not showing any signs of slowing down. Open Carry rally in Hudson 17th, Teat party in Barron C. 24th, We the people rally in Cumberland on the 31th of Oct. We plan on having a Halloween theme.
I just booked a room at the new library here In Cumberland to show to 40 or so people the file “33 Minutes”. It’s about our missile defense. Anyone interested in seeing this great movie please let me know.
I hope to get back sooner next time.

Understand Our Times

CAP AND TRADE (CO2 REDUCTION)

A SUMMARY OF ENERGY RIGHTS VIOLATION

by Rob Taylor - Constitution Party of WI Candidate for US Senate

Does anyone have any memory of why the Department of Energy (DOE) was established? Come on, think hard. OK, not many people do. We the taxpayers of America have spend several hundred billions of dollars in support of an agency that no one can truly remember what it was created for.

The DOE was instituted on August 4th, 1977 to lessen the dependence on foreign oil. Yes you read it right, to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. Thirty one years later the budget for this necessary department is at $24.2 billion a year. It has over 16,000 federal employees with 100,000 plus contract employees.

Let’s take a look at what we have gotten for our money over these years, shall we. Along with the current administration and Congress, the DOE has become the major focus point and strong arm of the environmentalist movement. The department has also spearheaded the most outrageous energy bill and policy ever known to the American public. The Energy Tax Bill of 2009 or better known as the Cap and Trade bill which is designed to cut carbon emissions but in fact will do more harm than good.

This bill will raise gas prices by not allowing us to drill for oil which right now is the best and second cheapest source of energy. By not allowing us to drill for oil off our shores or extract oil shale from the Rockies, we will become more and more depended on foreign sources.

Will OPEC keep prices down? I hardly think so. We will see the rise of

$4 to $6 or higher gas prices at the pump by the end of 2009. And this is if the Middle-East is stable. At this point all bets are off as to what might happen. If we cannot be reliant on our own energy, how will it affect us? We have to get to work, we need oil and gas to cook, be able to bathe and to keep warm. It is estimated that the bill would raise the cost of living of a typical household by $1,600 to $4,000 a year. This bill would also give us a regressive tax directed at the poor and middle income. I find this—as do many others—a clear violation of our civil rights. This bill will cause poor families to lose their homes, it will make life tougher for families who’ve worked and struggled to join the middle class.

Our jobs are depended on energy; most of the companies use energy to build the products or provide the services that keeps us employed. This bill would impose a costly policy that would penalize Americans with little effect on global warming. The bill would give us job losses of

1.2 million to 2.3 million by 2015. Some of these jobs will be lost for good, due to the impact of higher energy costs on economic activity. The American economy could experience a substantial outsourcing of manufacturing jobs to those nations with lower energy costs. This is huge reason along with high government regulations that companies are moving to China and other foreign countries.

Cap and trade, in other words, is a scheme to redistribute income and wealth -- but in a very curious way. It takes from the working class and gives to the affluent; takes from Miami, Ohio, and gives to Miami, Florida; and takes from an industrial America that is already struggling and gives to rich Silicon Valley and Wall Street "green tech" investors who know how to leverage the political class. Our jobs and way of life are being traded away so that some elite groups that don’t even know how to hunt, fish or even camp can say they have a “Green America”. They want the land, they want the power, they want what is yours…and they are getting it.

They will use C&T to regulate how much energy you can use, how much you can drive, what you drive, where you can work, how warm you home will be. In clear order, the government will tell you what to do, all the while the elite and a select political few can use all the energy they want by just trading carbon offsets (In words of the common person, that’s “phony money” or “contracts”). I believe that is called socialism and I am going to do all I can to fight it. You must join me and other energy-rights patriots in the battle for our energy freedom.
