“I have been waiting for someone to come along and tap into that very real frustration that exists in a very large segment of the working-class Republican base. And no one had done it until Donald Trump. I very clearly saw a void, and I knew somebody would fill it. And the moment I knew he had filled it, I knew he would win the nomination.” J. D. Vance

A message from WILL (WI Institute of Law and Liberty) Are you confused or frustrated by the recent changes to Title IX and how they impact your child's school? Many Wisconsin parents are grappling with the complexities of local, state, and federal regulations, compounded by information that may be incomplete or misleading. We invite you to join us for an important webinar that will clarify these issues and empower you with the knowledge and tools you need to take action in your local school district. Hosted by the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty and the Southeastern Legal Foundation, this webinar will cover the federal Title IX rule, applicable case law, related state laws, and effective strategies to address and challenge problematic local school board policies.

WILL’s upcoming webinar on 9/16/2024

Referendum on ballot November 5th:  Vote yes.  

State of Wisconsin Eligibility to Vote Referendum

Vote for one

“Eligibility to vote. Shall section 1 of article III of the constitution, which deals with suffrage, be amended to provide that only a United States citizen age 18 or older who resides in an election district may vote in an election for national, state, or local office or at a statewide or local referendum?”  Vote yes.  Tell others to vote yes. 

How sad is it that we need a referendum to say that only American citizens can vote in American elections?  If we move to Mexico, do we get to vote in Mexican elections?

Early Voting: 

In-person Early Voting: October 22, 2024 (14 days prior to Nov. 5th Election)

We very much encourage people to vote early.  Stuff happens.  We might get sick.  We might have an issue at work.  Make sure that your vote counts.
