Politics & Pints: Come one, Come all!


Last weekend, the Republican Party of Trempealeau County kicked-off of our brand new group, "Politics & Pints," at the Jailhouse Saloon in Centerville. It proved to be a very fun evening with good times had by all. This new group was created to be a casual and easy-going alternative to our regular monthly meetings. "Politics & Pints" is simply an informal social gathering where people come to talk politics over beer and a pizza. There is absolutely no set agenda, so you never know where the evening will take you or what solutions to the world's problems you will uncover after an evening of discussion! Meet with friends, new and old, vent your political frustrations, express ideas, and hang out in an environment where it is not taboo to talk politics. The location for each get-together will change from month to month, covering many of the fine towns and numerous eating & drinking establishments that Trempealeau County has to offer! (Needless to say, it should be quite some time before we are required to repeat a venue)! This is a wonderful networking opportunity and a great way to meet like-minded individuals. Even though it often feels like it, you are not the only Conservative in Trempealeau County! Come meet some more! We invite you to join us at our second gathering of "Politics & Pints" to be held at Sportsman's Lounge in Arcadia on Saturday, February 20th from 4-8pm. Hope to see you there!

From Wisconsin Right to Life, "News You Can Use"


Gubernatorial Candidate Tom Barrett Mirrors Doyle's Pro-Abortion Position
Pro-abortion Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett has thrown his hat into the ring as a Democratic candidate for Governor of Wisconsin for the November 2, 2010 election. After enduring eight long years of consistently anti-life actions by retiring Governor Jim Doyle, right-to-life citizens long for change. They won’t find it in Tom Barrett. Viewed as a “nice guy,” Barrett is as nasty as Doyle when it comes to abortion. Barrett compiled a lengthy hard-core pro-abortion voting record when he served in the State Assembly, State Senate and House of Representatives.

Barrett State Legislative Record Highlights (1984 – 1992)

  • Voted in favor of taxpayer funding of abortion referrals.
  • Voted against protecting the unborn child of a pregnant woman on life supports.
  • Voted against the right-to-life position on 53 out of 55 votes.

Barrett Congressional Legislative Highlights (1992 – 2004)

  • Voted against the Child Custody Protection Act which would have made it a federal crime to take a minor across state lines to have an abortion to keep the abortion secret from her parents.
  • Voted against a ban on performing abortions at military hospitals.
  • Voted against the Unborn Victims of Violence Act, a federal law which allows prosecutors to charge a third party for death or injury to an unborn child.
  • Voted against a ban on human cloning.
  • Voted against the Mexico City Policy which prohibits the use of federal funds to promote or perform abortions overseas.
  • Voted for taxpayer funding of abortions for federal employees.
  • Voted against banning partial-birth abortions (2002 bill).

As Governor, Tom Barrett would mean business as usual and a continuation of Doyle’s anti-life legacy. This year, Wisconsin Right to Life will be engaged in a major mission to dispel the “nice guy” image Barrett has created and expose his ruthless record to ensure that unborn babies are unprotected and can continue to be killed.
