HURRY! HURRY!

OFFER ENDS 8:00 P.M. NOVEMBER 6TH, 2012

If you elect me and send me to Madison, speaking truth to power, I will:

1. Settle once and for all whether or not YOU have a right to keep and bear arms, i.e. put your gun into your pocket without first getting government permission- a permit- to do so. Just this year the government of the state of Wisconsin through the persons of Scott Walker, Governor, and many members of the legislature turned your right to keep and bear arms- recognized in the organic Constitution of the United States of America- into a government-granted, revocable privilege. You may avail yourself of this privilege so magnanimously granted by people better than you (in their minds) by applying for government permission, submitting to a background check which will become more and more intrusive, paying a fee and bending a knee to the contemporaneous governor, legislature and state government bureaucracy. The permit granted you by your "sovereign" will expire in five years. (How's that for a right? It expires. Yet Governor Walker and others claim to have restored your right when they usurped your right; Newspeak.) Frankly, I believe that a government that demands to know whether or not you would like to put your gun into your pocket is a paranoid government and paranoid governments are dangerous.

How I will settle this question: If you send me to Madison as your senator I will VERY PUBLICLY let it be known that I will be at a specific place on a specific date at a specific time WITH A GUN IN MY POCKET, having never gotten a permit to carry it "concealed." I will specifically alert the "law-enforcement" agency that exercises jurisdiction at that location and then we'll wait and see if I get arrested or not. If I do I will take that court case as high as it takes, as my wallet allows or interested parties help, to get settled the question of whether or not the government of Wisconsin recognizes your rights.

Sounds nefarious, doesn't it, calling a gun in your pocket "concealed," when all you want to do is carry it like anything in your pocket. I put my wallet and keys and money in my pocket and nobody considers those to be "concealed."

Yes, your government does fear your gun and wouldn't you like to know why? I want to know why and I'll ask.

(In fact I have already asked Governor Walker and I'll share that correspondence and his response with you shortly.)

2. I will force the government, by camping outside the office of the pertinent bureaucrat(s), if necessary, to answer unequivocally the following questions related to home schooling-- and by extension of the logic template, any privilege or responsibility a parent has regarding his or her (child)ren.

a.) Where does government (state and "federal") get its authority to require parents who choose to school their own children to register themselves with government. By itself this is government overreach and, as one point on the slippery slope, it encourages government, as with any permit system, to second-guess parents and require parents to behave as government wants in any number of circumstances.

b.). In keeping with the explicit and implied rights of parents, which the Creator calls a parental duty, and is a privilege almost unbelievable in His generosity, to conduct themselves in the best interests of their children, I will further demand a response from government to the contention from the Home School Legal Defense Association that parents do NOT need to submit that registration mentioned in question 1 by electronic means. This is to say that the HSLDA finds no legal requirement for that registration to be submitted electronically as opposed to on paper delivered to the pertinent bureaucracy via the United States Postal Service? (I do not consider acquiescence to continual hectoring to be a legitimate tactic of- or response from- government and consider only heartfelt consent to government an appropriate reason for submitting to government oversight which, even with the best of intention, is more likely to be feckless or inimical to education than helpful.)

NOTE: I believe that no parent should be required to submit to the demands of the state to register themselves, their children or their home schooling intentions or actions. This only makes logical sense in that home schooling parents do NOT receive money from the state to school their children and parents, I contend, ought to be not inherently considered incompetent to be parents, including with regarding to feeding, clothing and educating their children. This same thinking process applies to most aspects of our lives when it comes to government's apparent irresistible urge to tell people how to live and enforce that desire as government sees fit. (Liberals may wish to force others to dance to their tune but thinking people reject such force.)
