If you’ve ever thought about running for office, American Majority can help–you can attend their meeting in Mequon.  We will have American Majority come and speak to CYP to get people interested in making a difference in their communities by throwing their hats in the ring.

American Majority Wisconsin and Ozaukee Patriots are pleased to
announce a Micro-Candidate Training will be conducted on Wednesday,
January 26th in Mequon, WI to provide potential candidates with the

organization whose mission is to train and equip a national network of

You ought to vote tomorrow because margin is going to matter.  You may not read the New York Times, but there will be articles about the numbers of votes cast against the President’s agenda and against Obamacare.  Decisionmakers will use those margins to decide how to act in the upcoming year.   In that sense, votes matter even for conservatives who are running unopposed.

We cancelled the CYP Happy Hour tomorrow night so that you can attend a campaign party.  These will be fun.  You should stop by and congratulate the candidates on a job well done.

Refocus Wisconsin is a project of the Wisconsin Policy Rearch Institute.  The project is to help make Wisconsin special again.

Wisconsin has lost its way.  I don’t think you have to be a conservative to think that, either.  I remember Mike Grebe thinking out loud about that topic at a Business Journal breakfast.  But there on the refocuswisconsin.org website, you’ve got a liberal-socialist, John Gurda, writing:

In some respects, Wisconsin has come to resemble a dinosaur that’s grown so large and cumbersome that its tail is half-eaten before its brain senses a problem. The result, later or sooner, could be the extinction of our economic and cultural viability, of our capacity to hold our young and look after our old.

That is sad.  It’s really disappointing for people who chose to be here.  The fact is that at UW-Madison business school, 80+% of the students believe that the best and the brightest leave Wisconsin and do not stay.  When I first heard that, I was both disappointed and angry.

So this is not good.  We all have a choice–each one of us.  We can leave or we can stay and do something about the problems that are facing this state.  We can meet the challenge head-on, or we can leave it for someone else.  We will have new leadership in November.  WPRI has ideas now about how our government should operate. 

The first paper posted on the website is by Professor William Howell, a leader in the field of school choice and education.  He finds that Wisconsinites love their schools and value education.  They are engaged on the issue and they are powerfully hungry for reform. 

There will be more papers.  I suggest you keep checking back.

We have an awesome speaker on August 19th at Trocadero–Henry Tyson will tell you about how the choice program is working in Milwaukee. 

If you’re working on a campaign and are having an event or need some help, please let us know and we’ll see if we can’t help get the word out.  Or, if you just wnat to blog about the day’s issues, let us know and we can help get your message out.
