Adventure To See Sarah Palin !

#GoodTidingsAndGreatJoyWI was the hash tag Thursday and I'll tell you why; @SarahPalinUSA came to #WI. Where you ask, Wausau, why Wausau, it's so far, it's in the middle of the State, but then you think back and you seem to remember something in the news about a School Board superintendent trying to limit the singing of Christmas songs in a school play or something; and that @SarahPalinUSA mentioned something about it in social media? Well your correct. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2013/10/08/one-sacred-song-for-every-five-secular-songs-wisconsin-school-district-cracks/

-once at Sarah's fb page scroll down to the Wausau bit she wrote. So, I say thank you to the progressive liberal socialists once again trying to take God out of our culture, who were shown by over 1000 #Wisconsin friends of @SarahPalinUSA that we say #MerryChristmas ! And we stand with the Baby Jesus born that day to Mary.

If I'm for Christmas, it's only because I'm for Christ.... Sarah Palin
-from the book "Good Tidings And Great Joy" Protecting the Heart of Christmas

So on to the actual adventure...
I got up at 2 AM, umm not to worry all good adventures start off early in the morning...
By 5:30 I'm picking up @VickiMcKenna in Madison to go rogue with me on my adventure...

You don't know @VickiMcKenna well check her out here

http://www.newstalk1130.com/pages/mckenna_blog.html

@VickiMcKenna  is a powerful conservative talk radio show host in #WI she is on
WISN 1130AM Milwaukee in the morning from 10am -Noon ...
then from 3pm -6pm on WIBA 1310 Madison.
So imagine being the fly on the wall in the truck on the way up there and back ! What happens
in the truck stays in the truck.

...fast forward

We arrived in Wausau around 7:30am at the Wal Mart store
where the book signing was being held. While walking in I noticed an announcement taped up to the center window between the front doors, since I had called ahead and knew we needed to head to the back left of the store and look for the layaway section. As we headed in we observed wal mart employees directing people, the Mgr looking lady mid store looked important and had a clip board so we stopped quick and introduced myself, when she heard #Organize4PalinWI she said oh we are expecting you, Vicki says I'm Media, the lady says oh well then we have a media room also, I'm like.. I'm media too, Vicki says "He's my producer." Boom we are escorted
to the media room. Coffee, cookies, donuts, veggies, fruit, and more!
Geez the media is treated like divas! #LOL ...you will know in a bit why the diva thing is funny!


So the media room- aka quarantine room...after being escorted to the media room,
the mgr advised if we wish to use the washroom it's down the hall  and someone will escort us down there as needed, super tight security...
there were two camera men and a young female reporter, we all introduced ourselves then @VickiMcKenna and myself had some coffee and cookies, thanks Wal Mart!


About half an hour went by and the next media person joining us was a real sharp young gal dressed in a black suit, mid height heels that were kind of chunky, cute blond pixie cut freckled rosy cheeked TV Anchor type. Well she was instantly talking to the other medias , they all seem to know each other, small town media... boy oh boy she was not happy with the rules set out for the media, when @SarahPalinUSA has an event her team absolutely controls access to her for many reasons, think them up your self if you don't get it. But this young lady was beside herself with angst about the access she was given, she was calling her boss telling him. "they are only giving us ten minutes to shoot, no questions, no interviews..then when our access is over they are escorting us off the property!!
LOL ...it wasn't to much longer when she called @SarahPalinUSA a diva for having the power
to set out all the rules ! She said "The security wasn't even this tight for Michelle Obama."
shorty after that she went into her moking @SarahPalinUSA voice "Don't cha know!"

Makes sense that the media access is limited #LSM #biased
#WhenYouComeIntoMyHouseYouGoByMyRules


Next thing you know and it's 10am #GameOn !

The doors opens and the mgr says "Ladies and Gentlemen, follow me."  he led us down the hall to a door that led to the room where @SarahPalinUSA and her daughter Willow were seated behind
an 8' pop up table.

Because of our media access we now had 10 minutes to take video and stills. Go..
Vicki shot stills and I took some video.

 
Vid to come, we are having issues uploading it.
After our time was up to take pictures and video, we headed out to join the end of the line.
Vicki and I waited in line about 2 hrs and 45 min before getting up to see @SarahPalinUSA.
Once we did I introduced myself with the extension O4P WI, she said "Thank You for doing that."

Clowning Around #WI 's Budget via @GovWalker

April 1, 2013 www.MediaTrackers.org reported that the Wisconsin Historical Society, www.doa.state.wi.us/debf/docview.asp?budid=78 a state agency is concocting a plan to get $3.7 millon in tax payer money for http://circusworld.wisconsinhistory.org/
No I'm not clowning around, this is true.
Read the #WI Budget here www.doa.state.wi.us/debf/execbudget.asp?locid=166


Another inclusion in the budget is a request for 61 new Tax Enforcement Personnel! Brian Sikma from Media Trackers thinks this might be a way to increase tax revenue without raising taxes. I guess this might be a good use of tax payer money.

A Month Out - From RR loss

It's been a month since the #RomneyRyan team lost a winnable election. #WI uniquely was able to reagin our State Senate and pick up a seat in the house; while giving O and Baldwin wins. Think about that. The State that increased it's vote for @GovWalker just 5 months prior.


The nation looks at #WI politicals as rock stars. Well we were the only State that O won that had a pick up of a chamber. We were only State the O won that had gains in both chambers. We picked up a seat in the house and the senate.
-I guess that is kind of Mini Rock Star ish.


We had about 800,000 fewer votes for the legislature than the POTUS. Democrats are much less likely to finish the ballot.


@GovWalker did push back against the O Care exchange.


On to voter ID , we are one of 8 states that has same day registration. It's either that or motor voter per federal regulation. So easier said than done getting rid of SDR. You would have to have a complete Motor Voter system.

Wisconsin Welcomes Paul Ryan Home

I've had the honor to talk to Paul Ryan many times over the last 3 years; you can see my previous story in my blog dated June 23. Here we are on Monday 8/13/12 we are all still letting it soak in. @PaulRyanVP is going to be the next VPOTUS.


Yesterday #WI welcomed Paul home. He broke into tears as he approached the 13,000 family members cheering and weeping themselves. He thanked us and said it's good to be home. I say family because that is how we see Paul, and what Paul said yesterday; we are all family.  I consider our inner political circle here in #WI family, and I know that's how my friends also feel. I consider Paul a friend and family, he first called me by my first name in 2010 while I was working for Becky. In my previous story you will see where he called me by my last name, I think that is what guys do with friends. I have many guy friends and many of us use the last name as kind of a term of endearment.


I remember one great story that goes to how our female friends look to Paul, basically they kind of melt in his presence. I think it is how I and some other guys look at Sarah Palin; smart and HOT! - Oh back to the story, I found my self being the official photographer for the gals to get their picture with Paul.
The story is about Paul saying to one of our female friends who said, Bill take my picture with Paul, as she handed me her camera and then put her arm around Paul; Paul says to her,"____ don't you have like 100 pictures with me already?" She didn't even hear him say that, she just smiled ear to ear. I think this is one of his humble traits.

In a humble tone yesterday as Paul introduced his friends Scott Walker, Reince Priebus and Ron Johnson. "We're just guys from 'Tosa, Kenosha, Oshkosh, and Janesville." This is the beautiful part of #WI politics, we demonstrate how anyone can go and serve the people. With a true servants heart.


I've talked to Paul 10 different times or so, and let me tell you this is one normal, cool guy.

Just ask the ladies in the 1st district.
