What the Tea Party & GOP hide from rural Wisconsin.

Wisconsin Senator Kathleen Vinehout has spent years compiling the information which shows exactly how much damage has been done by the Tea Party controlled Wisconsin GOP and the true cost to the tax payers. This was done using only information which comes from the government of Scott Walker himself.

This information comes from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction and the state agencies which report to it. Politicians are known for saying one thing and then doing another. Just like how Scott Walker and Travis Tranel promise us that economically, Wisconsin is in great shape and then go behind closed doors to create a hack and slash budget full of emergency/desperation provisions because "economically speaking, Wisconsin is actually in terrible shape" and more and more extreme measures are needed to keep the ship of state afloat.

It is kind of like if Scott Walker and his pal Travis Tranel were walking around and loudly bragging about how they have billions of dollars in the bank but refuse to show anyone the bank statement to prove it. Without proof, words are just words and nothing more.

Senator Vinehout ignored the words and went straight to the source to let the people of Wisconsin know exactly what is going on and where we are at this point in time. And the information is very shocking and powerful indeed. The chart at the top of this page for instance, shows how childhood poverty has grown in Wisconsin along with the cost to taxpayers due to the increase in need for free or reduced school lunches for children. And please remember, this information comes from Scott Walker's government agencies themselves.

Please click on the link below to see the full presentation, the damage done and how a complete and detailed plan is waiting to be implemented which will turn everything around and return Wisconsin to prosperity and plenty.

G.C. Dems Report Card

Greetings friends and fellow Democrats

We are happy to inform you that the Democratic voters of Grant County earned themselves a very solid grade of A- for voter turnout in the spring 2016 election. We saw a significantly larger than normal amount of people casting ballots for their candidates. That is really, really good but there is still room for some improvement.

We have great faith that the Democratic voters of Grant County will show up in even larger numbers for the August primary election than we all did in the spring primary. An A- grade is pretty good but we are predicting an even higher grade for voter turnout on August 9th.

Some people find it difficult to vote on election day due to work schedules and other matters. We strongly encourage you to cast an absentee ballot before the election if you think there is any chance you may have trouble getting to the polls. Get absentee voting information and answers to all your question regarding voting and the elections here: https://myvote.wi.gov/en-us/

Our friend Kory Kozloski of the Democratic Party Of Wisconsin has this to say about the upcoming election:

Hey there everyone!

Wanted to send a note to thank you all for being such great supporters. It's thanks to you that we're able to keep fighting for Democrats across our great state.

I take great pride in being a Wisconsin Democrat. We're fighting for education, equality, a balanced budget, and hundreds of policies that are moving our state forward.

There's a big primary coming up and we need to make sure every voter understands how important this election is for our community.

It's crucial we have a great lineup of Wisconsin Democrats on the ballot this November.

Keeping Wisconsin blue starts with casting your primary ballot. Commit to vote in the Wisconsin Democratic primary.

Here in Wisconsin, we need elected officials that put people ahead of politics, and that's why we need to turn every single voter out to the polls this primary season.

Make your voice heard -- commit to vote today:
