Immigration Successes
With Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign underway, the GOP is accelerating its lies about her work as Vice President. Though responsibility for the southern border rests with the Departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services, they call Harris a failed “Border Czar,” deliberately mischaracterizing her early presidential assignment – to address the root causes of migration – while obscuring her accomplishments.
As the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported on 6/12/24, VP Harris’ 2021 “Call to Action” has triggered major commitments from ...
Preserve Democracy, Please Vote
Mrs. Juntti was my 1st and 2nd grade teacher in a small elementary school in northern Wisconsin.
Mrs. Juntti gave me some of the greatest gifts I could ever receive. She taught me to read which opened my world to all the amazing things in life! Mrs. Juntti taught me how to write—another gift that has no measure. Mrs. Juntti gave me the gift of music. She played the piano in our small classroom as we learned to sing, America the Beautiful, God Bless America, My Country Tis of Thee, This Land is Your Land, Beautiful Dreamer, Oh! Susana, How Great Thou Art, and other ...

The Mayor Wants You To Think Your Vote Isn’t Secure
On Sunday, Mayor Doug Diny removed the absentee ballot dropbox that the City Clerk had ordered to be publicly accessible outside of City Hall.
Diny’s unilateral action deserves condemnation in the strongest possible terms. The authority to make this kind of decision lies firmly with the Clerk – not the Mayor. Diny clearly overstepped the bounds of his office in taking this brazen action.
But it’s not just that. Diny justified himself by claiming the ballots that would be submitted to the dropbox wouldn’t be secure. This is a line from ...
