Wisconsinners- we have to get rid of Sensenbrenner
If I am not mistaken, a Sensenbrenner defeat in November, would make Ranking member John Conyers the head of the House Comittee on the Judiciary. This would greatly improve many things, including the chances of impeachment.

I don't live in his district, but I'm willing to travel, contribute, whatever it takes to help with Bryan Kennedy's campaign... Anyone have ideas on how those of us outside the 5th district can help?

1. Well, actually ...
Edited on Mon Jan-09-06 06:31 PM by MadAsHell
We have to turn the control of the House over to the Democrats for Conyers to get the Chair. That would have a lot of good repercussions including giving Dave Obey the chair of the Appropriations Committee.

The thought of that should be more than enough to get Wisconsinites digging deep and working extra hard this go around.

7. more fuel for your fire!
Shepherd Express has a nice little article this week outlining why Sensenbrenner is bad for the people:

"Endangering Wisconsinites
Besides embarrassing us nationally, Sensenbrenner’s grandstanding against immigrants of color directly affects Wisconsin.

Our state legislature is currently under federal pressure to pass legislation denying driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants. If the state fails to do so, we could lose federal funds, and worse.

What’s worse is that our Wisconsin driver’s licenses would no longer be considered a valid photo ID for boarding airplanes in this country. We’d all have to carry passports even to fly to Sheboygan.

Guess who was responsible for the federal law invalidating the driver’s licenses currently being issued in Wisconsin? That’s right. Wisconsin’s own F. James Sensenbrenner."


more-- go to www.shepherd-express.com, click on "news and views" and then to "Taking Liberties" (there wasn't a direct link)

9. This is a national GOP wedge issue
They are doing the same thing with Gov Pawlenty leading the charge just over the border of you.
