“The Future of the Republic is in the Hands of the American Voter”

Dwight D. Eisenhower 1949

 

 

When the polls close in Wisconsin on November 3, the political landscape will have been rearranged. New faces will take their seats in elected offices. The State Constitution may be amended. The balance of power, when measured by which political Party prevails with a majority in the State’s legislative houses and takes the Governorship, will have some voters celebrating and others lamenting. It would be a mistake to allow post-election exuberance or disappointment to distract us from the task at hand. The corruption of our political system threatens our freedom and is the targeted enemy in our fight to reclaim our country and our state. The 2026 midterm elections will stand as another marker in the battle; but the fight will not be over until it is won.

 

Important things that remain unchanged substantially outweigh the temporary adjustments elections bring.

 

We will not be able to verify that the Wisconsin election results accurately reflect the will of the people. This irrefutable fact is the highest priority for correction. Verifiable elections are a primary source of citizen power. They enable the people to elect their candidates of choice to office and remove them at will when they don’t perform. The Legislature and the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) have deliberately and persistently ignored the demands of the voters to correct the serious process design flaws in Wisconsin’s election system that make fraudulent votes very likely.

 

Not a single member of the Legislature or WEC has denied the flaws exist; and their failure to do their duty can only be explained as cowardice and corruption. We will almost certainly need Federal assistance to force the issue. Our next steps will be determined by what happens on November 3.

 

The Democratic and Republican political Parties are corrupt. They are run by a handful of elitists who have a stranglehold on who will run for office, receive endorsements, and financial support. They treat our political process like it’s a game and serious people are disgusted by their dishonesty and their dirty deeds. Neither party has any regard for the will of the people who are their members. During the current election cycle the Democratic party stole the nomination for Governor from Francesca Hong, the people’s choice; the Republican party shut its members out of the endorsement process; and it was just a short time ago that the Republican Party of Wisconsin used dark money to defeat members of their own party in races for legislative seats. Party members are nothing more than a source of revenue to party bosses who cynically play the roles of one another’s foil to generate fear in their members and exploit them for donations. Members have no meaningful voice.

 

A complete transformation of the political Parties into authentic tools for advancing the will of the people is needed. The bosses have to go.

 

Career politicians have made a mockery of our Founders’ vision of citizen legislators. Their obsession with remaining in office takes precedence over doing the things that need to be done. We will have to limit the time legislators spend in office, and ban them from earning millions selling their influence as lobbyists when their terms are up, if we expect them to produce outcomes that benefit the American people.

 

Political pollsters are willing partners in the sinister effort to undermine the will of the people in our elections. Look no further than the Marquette University Law School polling machine to understand how polls are used to influence election outcomes. Last Wednesday, Charles Franklin, the Director of the poll, presided over a public presentation of his final poll prior to November 3. The poll was conducted from October 14 to October 22 and included 818 registered voters, of which 668 were likely voters.

 

Franklin qualified the survey results by saying they did not capture any change in voter sentiment that may have resulted from the October 21 gubernatorial debate and were well within the margin of error, which means they may be totally inaccurate with respect to the actual state of the race. Those facts, however, did not stop Franklin from making a number of definitive statements including, “Crowley’s lead is expanding;” Independents are going for Crowley pretty significantly;” and “Crowley dominates with likely voters.”

 

Ask yourself why Franklin did not conduct his survey during a time frame that would capture voter sentiment after the only debate between gubernatorial candidates. If you watched the debate, you have the answer. Ask yourself what possible purpose there can be in releasing a poll result that you have to qualify by admitting it is meaningless. And while you are contemplating what is really going on with polling, ask yourself why Franklin chose to forego polling the week prior to the August 11 primary election (Marquette usually publishes a poll the week before statewide elections) when multiple other polls were reporting double digit leads for Francesca Hong over David Crowley. If Marquette had reported Hong’s strong lead and the lack of support for Crowley, it would have been much harder to sell Crowley’s improbable come from behind victory which was fraudulently orchestrated by the Democrats capitalizing on an insecure election system.

 

It’s time to put an end to political polling. It is not part of a credible election process. It is used to selectively suppress turnout and enables the unchecked, corrupt media to run with wildly misleading claims intended to influence outcomes. The growing segment of the voting public that will not talk to pollsters is an encouraging sign that polls are destined for the same fate as the legacy media.

 

The media is in a class of its own as a threat to freedom. The corruption we are fighting would not have taken root under the watchful eye of an ethical free press. The failure of the media to safeguard the truth, their primary responsibility assigned by the Founders, is an epic betrayal of the American people and a threat to the Republic.

 

November 4 and beyond

 

The American people want good government, and we are determined to get it. The outcomes of the election on November 3 will reframe the fight for better or worse; and whether we will have more allies or enemies in positions of power remains to be seen. The work ahead is unchanged. On November 4, I will be right back at it, doing whatever I can to inform and mobilize my freedom-loving fellow citizens. Please join me in recruiting everyone you know to the fight. Dwight D. Eisenhower spoke the truth in a 1949 address when he said, “Our American heritage is threatened as much by our own indifference as it is by the most unscrupulous office seeker or by the most powerful foreign threat. The future of the Republic is in the hands of the American voter.” The American Revolution was fought and won when the people had had enough. We the people have had enough.
