April 2010 Meeting Recap
UW-Madison College Republican Chairman, Crystal Lee (www.uwgop.com), is a shining example of what it means to be strive to be the best you can be. With her energy and drive, she has helped the UW-Madison College Republicans provide opportunities on campus to learn about conservatism and support people as they search for alternatives to liberal ideology. Being involved with the college Republicans has provided Crystal with many chances to travel and meet conservative leaders. She is looking forward to working with Teach for America next year. It was a great opportunity to see and support our future!
We also heard from Rebecca Kleefisch, candidate for Lt. Gov. She is prepared to apply her media and public relations expertise to Madison to shine a light on the good and the bad to hold people accountable and then build a PR campaign to woo businesses back to WI.
Update: Unfortunately, Joe Mahoney, who hosts his own radio show, Crossfire, was unable to join us due to his professor not allowing him to reschedule his exam, which conflicted with our luncheon. This 2009 Illinois State Debate Champion is involved with For Scott Walker and the Marquette College Republicans and is someone to keep track of. Give his show a listen! (P.S. At the 5:20 minute mark on "Episode 4, Part 1," Joe gives the SRWC a special shout-out! Thanks, Joe!)

March 2010 Meeting Recap
Thank you to Terrence Wall, candidate for WI Senator for speaking to us in February. Terrence believes strongly that longtime Washington politicians are the problem, not the solution [and that] citizen legislators, coming from the private sector, can provide the real-world solutions needed to rebuild our economy, get people back to work and lower health care costs for all Americans. He has a strong entrepreneurial background that began when he was young, showed itself in his successful businesses, and continues to today. We need people in D.C. that understand how freedom releases the spirit to pursue the best for oneself and one's family.
Thank you also to Sid Terry for speaking to our group about the Ozaukee Patriots, a Tea-party group worth joining that is making a difference.

February 2010 Meeting Recap
Dave Westlakeis running to oust one of our current, eye-rolling, non-listening Senators. He effectively presented himself as it promises on his Facebook page, as someone who is a "conservative, veteran, small business owner, West Point grad & U. of Chicago MBA who believes in small gov't., accountability, 2nd Amendment, lower-taxes, term limits, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." "...guide this nation by the principles of hard work, responsibility, leadership, and selfless service for our children...the bedrock tenets of liberty, freedom, and a government of the people, by the people, and for the people are as fresh and invigorating today as they were at the birth of this great Republic. Why do I believe these things? Because I believe in the limitless ingenuity of the American spirit...the unlimited power of individual initiative and creativity.that every single one of us makes better decisions for ourselves and for our families than a government of "an elite few in a distant city."
Thank you also to Ben Collins, Candidate for Lt. Governor, for speaking to us about his military past, current business experience, and future plans to serve and protect Wisconsin. "Let's start by building the state budget from scratch - every year. The days of taking last year's budget and adding on a wish list are over. Let's also look at what other states have done to streamline functions, pool purchasing power and eliminate redundancy. More than that, let's look to the business community for management ideas and best practices. As companies across Wisconsin have reformed and become more efficient in tough times, let's look to apply the lessons learned to state government so we can get costs under control and taxes cut."

January 2010 Meeting Recap
Founder of Milwaukee God Squad and candidate for Secretary of State, David King, spoke. A background of helping people make real change and find faith in their lives -- all without government money -- the perfect foundation on which to help WI and get out of the way of voter ID. All Sec of States have been Dems (7 are ACORN-fed); a position that supervises ballot counting!
Thank you to Brett Davis, candidate for Lt. Gov. and Rebecca Kleefisch, candidate for Lt. Gov. for stopping by!
