Yes Virginia, There is A Santa Claus (sorry, couldn't resist) Liberal Plot to dumb people down with False Statistics and mis-information.

Bah Humbug! I'm going to change my ID back to Minnow.  Marrand, Jack Ludwig, and Mickie will know that name - that is, if I can figure out how to do that.

You are right and I have a very good example of that. Years ago, I made a mistake and believed in a very new candidate - Russ Feingold. I actually donated money to him and talked to him in his campaign office. He told me things that I trusted. Learned later - especially about gun control, that he was misleading me. I am still on his mailing list, so here is one paragraph that confirms your take on the liberals.

"And even though Wisconsinites are screaming out for principled, serious leadership on issues that affect their daily lives, Senator Johnson continues to play politics in the Senate -- lecturing about the evils of government, attacking Social Security as a 'giant Ponzi scheme,' and even hinting he might shut down the government entirely in order to cut funding for women's health care."  (bold was his.)

He also claims he'll work to get $15.00 minimum wage. He claims that Johnson doesn't care about student debt crisis.  And so on.

Well, I'm written a letter myself, and am thinking about sending it - know he won't get to read it, but would give me satisfaction. I am requesting that he return the donations I'd made his first year plus the interest. After all, he did not keep his promises and he lied about gun control. He supported Clinton's gun control fiasco. 

(I am also forwarding a copy of his letter to Ron Johnson's office, along with a donation.) And I added to my letter that when he returns my money, it will be donated to Ron Johnson's campaign. Big Grin   I will have to type the letter up, my handwriting, especially when I'm angry, isn't easy to read.

Good for you.Minnow er Virginia. If you really want to change it to minnow here, just go to settings and replace your name with the Minnow screen name.

I'll leave it, after all Virginia Dare was a fighter too.  LOL

(I've finished typing my letter, and have it and Feingold's letter copied to send to Ron Johnson with my donation, and to Feingold's campaign office.)  Know Feingold won't see it, but perhaps the staff person will share it - and just maybe, one or two will change their mind about Feingold. Perhaps not, but what the heck.  I'm sharing my letter.

Russ Feingold;                   

I expect that you will not get a chance to read this letter; your staff will probably throw it away.

Years ago, I donated to your campaign, your first one.  As a single mother, with 2 children, also working two jobs, the $90.00 was very hard to share, but I did it. I worked uptown, and discovered your office. I talked to you and came away with a belief that you supported my ideas about most everything – including gun control.

Since then, I’ve been so disgusted with myself for ever believing the misinformation you fed me, especially about gun control. So, I am requesting that you return the donation I gave you, plus interest. Living day by day on Social Security (that is being stolen by Congress), helping to support my daughter, who lost 2 husbands to cancer, and is disabled, with 2 children at home, that money would be a help. 

You accuse Ron Johnson of not signing and following the “Badger Pledge – you forget to mention that you aren’t following that yourself. So your signature means absolutely nothing! 

 Seattle raised the minimum wage to $15.00 and now 700 jobs have been lost. And who loses these jobs – the young men and women, high school, new workers looking for their first job. They work part time at Culvers, McDonalds and go to school. Do you really think they will have jobs if the minimum wage is raised? The jobs will disappear, or more experienced workers will get the jobs and hours will be cut.

As for shutting down the government – wow!  Wish they would; by the way, do you believe in murder?  Planned Parenthood DOES NOT DO mammograms, or any other women’s healthcare stuff. They do abortions!!!  That is murder, the embryo is a baby and that baby also has a right to live.

Student debt crisis:  Seems to me that a lot of this is caused by government. And the minimum wage would make it even harder for those who are trying to pay their way through school. Oh, most of these young men and women are from more wealthy homes, we of the middle and lower class can’t afford to send our kids on, unless they can get a McDonalds or Culvers Job.  And the welfare ones are being subsidized by the Government! The taxpayers are struggling themselves, and you want them to pay for these more wealthy kids to go to school?

You mention leadership, wonderful. You had been in the Senate a very long time – where was your leadership efforts then? Clinton, Obama, Johnson, Carter, Bush 1 and 2?  You were there when Clinton took over our 2^nd Amendment rights; you and McCain, with your campaign finance scheme, interfered with our First Amendment rights to speak out. You stopped us little people from expressing ourselves, but allowed the big liberal wigs to continue.  And do you think Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are leaders, or what about Obama?  I see no leaders there, only those who wish to remain in Congress forever.

Social Security: oh right, it is a Ponzi scheme. Even I know that. After all, my money was taken away from me, and was supposed to guarantee a pension later. And it was not to be taxed, nor was anything said about paying into Medicare. Well, I have to pay taxes, and the last time we got a cost of living was 4 years ago. By the way, where is the money; seems Congress has been leaving IOUs in the pot instead of letting the money be invested. Isn’t that what a Ponzi scheme really is?  And you went right along with this for many years.

So send me my money - $90.00, forget the interest; that would be about $75.00 because of the long years you spent in the Senate.  Just get it to me soon. I want to use it to support Ron Johnson.

Hey, Maybe we all could demand refunds from our representatives who don't represent what we want them to.
