Feingold Undecided on Health Care Bill by Deloras Vind


We, the people, still have a voice on the Senate Health Care Bill and Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold is [surprisingly] a key vote in the measure. According to The Hill Senator Russ Feingold "has not made a final decision on the bill and is waiting for the Congressional Budget Office score." The article in The Hill goes on to say that "away from the Senate chamber, prominent liberals were angry." Senator Russ Feingold is certainly a prominent liberal! This Health Care bill still has a chance to be defeated! We need to make our voices heard! Tell it everywhere!! Call Senator Feingold and tell him to listen to the American people and his Wisconsin constituents and vote NO to Obamacare! Kill the Bill!

Palin at Mall of America by Diane Reid


Deloras Vind, and myself, Diane Reid, of the Republican Party of Trempealeau County, arrived at the Mall of America for the Sarah Palin, "Going Rogue" book signing at 4:30 am. We were in line outside the Mall by 5:00 am. We were approximately number 520 and 521. We thankfully got into the warmth of the Mall shorty after 6 o'clock and finally got wristbands after 7 o'clock.

Gov. Sarah Palin and her husband, Todd, were all smiles, ebullient, charming and happy to see every face that came by the table. Lots of people were equally bubbly and looked thrilled to meet them. Up close, Gov. Palin exudes a radiant grace! No other way to describe it. She and Todd looked refreshed. She is better looking in person and I didn't think it was possible. She glowed, she was friendly and engaging to each person and laughed a lot with each person.
I got my book signed by 1:00 pm. The crowd was friendly, polite and enthusiastic for the opportunity. I must give a special thanks to the Mall of America staff for the way they organized this event. Logistics were smooth all around. They even handed out free bottled water around 9:00 am when most people were in line, waiting. They handed out the water and then came back with trash bags to collect the trash. The whole MOA staff were courteous, ready to answer any question and they all had smiles on their faces, even the security staff. I had no idea that some jerk threw tomatoes during the event. I did not see it happen. I am glad I went and had a great time!
