Ultra-Rich are Working to Mount Anti-Democratic Coup
Under the cover of religion, and promotion of social-political issues, some members of our ultra-rich class have launched a coup. They have insinuated themselves in the government and judiciary to vote themselves huge tax breaks.
Under the last administration, a $1.7 trillion tax cut was enacted. It was heavily tilted to favor the top one-percent. No cuts in spending were enacted to pay for those cuts, so the amount of taxes not collected was added to the deficit.
That was highly inflationary. Also, who will pay the bills if the top one-percent does not? It is the ...

A Basket of Goodies
Wisconsin U.S. Congressman Glenn Grothman recently claimed our country should go back to 1960. He says this was a time when men still felt they had a purpose in life.

It is true that in the mid 60's, many opportunities began opening up for women, but Mr. Grothman overlooks the benefits countless men began to share and appreciate during and after this time.
When laws and labor force demands encouraged more women to get ...
RALLY ON SATURDAYS WITH US
Friends for Peace,
We will be walking around the 400 Block each Saturday morning at 10 am until about 11:30. Many come to walk and many come to sit on the corners of the 400 Block with signs and flags to be present for people who want to stop to talk.
Please join us as you are able! Bring a new sign if you have time. We do have some to share if you need one!
All of our hearts should be open, and in doing this we will be strengthened to take actions in support of a peaceful solution.
In Solidarity,
Carolyn, Claudette, Nancy and David
No Time for Games—Vote ‘No’ on State Constitutional Amendments
Did you know a big election is coming up this year? In November, of course! But there’s an election on August 13 that’s also important to your community and your future.
There are two questions on the August ballot which, if passed, will change the state constitution for the worse. I’m voting no on both questions, and I urge other voters throughout Wisconsin to do the same.
A yes vote on these constitutional amendment questions would give the legislature sole authority over the distribution of federal money. A yes vote would also take the governor out of the ...
