&nbsp;Meeting<br>Dane County<br>Tuesday, 2007 June 5<br><br>§ § §</p>

<p align="left">Six members attended though they initially met in three different areas of the University of Wisconsin @ Madison's Union Terrace. After his finishing his 'Badger Blast' malt, the scribe joined the group in order to record for all prosperity that there is wisdom on this campus.</p>
 
<p align="left">The scribe brought the print-outs for our fearless leader 1 / organizer to use tonight:</p>
 
<p align="left"><u>The Divide Republican Bill</u>. Bobby Eberle wrote in <a href="http://www.gopusa.com/theloft/?p=466" target=_"_blank"><i>The Loft</i></a> that, "We have the laws in place, both old and recent. . .[we need] a strong dose of political cajones, and not passing this bill." Senator John McCain <a href="http://www.gopusa.com/2007/june/0604_mccain-immigrationp.shtml" target="_blank">whines</a>, "Critics of the bill attack this as amnesty and special path to citizenship that is denied to lawful immigrants. Both charges are false." Eberle Would retort, "...not passing this bill doesn't seem so "dangerous" or "unacceptable" to me." Meeting leaned toward the increasing border agents, the constructing security fencing from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean, and the punishing employers for illegal hiring practices.</p>

<p align="left"><u>Demorcrats spar in 2nd debate in NH.</u> There was some interest in this topic. Who-ha!</p>

<p align="left"><u>Sole v. Wyner</u> It was mentioned about "the unanimous opinion, written by Justice Ginsburg, about what it means to be a "prevailing party" --entitled to attorneys' fees -- in a §1983 civil rights case. The Court decided that winning a prelimary injunction is not enough if you go on to lose the case on the merits. The plaintiff, by the way, was fighting for the right to protest the war [Iraq] with a giant peace sign composed of naked people." --From Ann <a href="http://althouse.blogspot.com/2007/06/four-new-supreme-court-opinions.html" target="_blank">Althouse</a>, Madison attorney and blogger, and Thorley Winston comment on her post, "The plaintiff, by the way, was fighting for the right to protest the war with a giant sign composed of naked people. Hopefully they were good stewards of the Earth and used the entire naked person. Waste not, want not."</p>

<p align="left"><u>Anbar</u>. Alaskan Townhaller, Alex Gimarc, in his weekly <a href="http://home.gci.net/agimarc" target="_blank"><i>Interesting Items 5/28</i></a> wrote, "We continue to get positive reports out of Iraq, as the new warfighting plan continues to unfolf. Last week had a large number of reports of significant progress into previous anti-American, pro-Baathist, insurgent and Al "Qaida hotbeds like Anbar province. It appears that Al Qaida overplayed its hand against the locals and the tribal leaders have turned against them and declared war against them. We are now seeing the civil war we always wanted in Iraq - the one pitting Al Qaida against everyone else. And Al Q?aida is losing the fight. Keep it up, guys. We are close, very close."</p>

<p align="left"><u>Brief mention of Newt Gingrich's</u><a href="http://www.aei.org/events/type.upcoming,eventID.1533,filter.all/event_detail.asp target"_blank">"Principles of a New Governing Majority"</a>.He makes very good point on the state of political discourse today. It is too bad he couldn't keep his zipper zipped. His falling pants is the major caused of Congress falling into greed -- if the people want greed they will always go for those who are the professional crooks hence 2006.</p>

<p align="left"><u>Again, Alex Gimarc reminds us of the coming nasty election:</u>

        <p align="justify"><font face="Verdana,Arial" size="1" color="#000000">"Video. Campaign techniques are changing fast as both technology and the ability to get a message out near instantaneously on the web merge. One of the big changes used by the left last election cycle was sending an opposition campaign worker with a video camera to every event staged by their opponent. They used it to good effect last year when a Webb (D. VA) staffer filmed former AUS Senator George Allen's (R. VA) use of the term 'macaca' to describe the Webb guy holding the camera. This screw up was plastered over the media, the net, and used by the Washinton Post for months in a series of blistering attacks on Allen to eventually defeat him for office last year. Allen's failure to immediately stand up, acknowledge his use of the racial epithet and apologize directly to the staffer helped seal his fate among Virginaia voters. Daily Kos owner / operator Marcos Moulitsas suggested that his lefties do the same thing to every single major Republican candidate over the next year and a half. This means that the cameras will be out there, and every single gaffe will be up on You Tube, Daily Kos or something similar for the upcoming election cycle. This means that Our Side will have to be much more disciplined aboutg what they say, who they say it to, and how it is said, for it will be quite easy for the Other Side to build a video narrative of a candidate that will not be all that flattering or helpful. This also means that we to be filming the union thugs and other goons used by democrats to keep citizens away from their candidates. I expect it will be superb entertainment and excellent viewing for political junkies. The Other Side is bit better at using the new media than we are so far. We need to do better, something that I expect Fred Thompson is already doing. Dean Barnet in Hugh Hewitt, Tues."

§ § §

After a decent period of burying their electoral dead from last Fall's stolen elections, seven Madison area conservatives finally gathered again for their monthly meeting around seven p.m. at Tully II.

Discussion on early contenders for the 2008 presidential race. Mrs. Bill Clinton was not given a snow ball chance. Other candidates were dismissed from serious consideration at this early date including the Republicans.

Tommy Thompson was met with a good laugh for his insisting that his own presidential bid is not just positioning for the vice-president spot.

Discussion that Al Gore could buy carbon credits to offset what his weight is causing to warm the climate.

While our fearless leader 1 / organizer was obtaining another pitcher of beer, when

It was read to the group this passage from Dinesh D'Souza's new book: "Since liberalism and conservatism are the guiding principles of the Democratic and Republican Parties, the two major parties have become strange to each other in a way that America has not seen since 1860, when one faction saw slavery as a "positive good" and the other saw it as an entrenched evil. Now, as then, the two sides have difficulty recognizing each other as legitimate, as fully American, as possessing the same moral decency that we all take for granted in ourselves. The vicious liberal attacks on Bush, which parallel the vicious conservative attacks on Clinton, are a way of saying, "We have difficulty recognizing you as human beings who inhabit the same moral planet that we do. Consequently we see you as usurpers and moral reprobates who should be hounded and driven from the corridors of power by any means necessary."" (See Dinesh D'Souza, The Enemy At Home: The Cultural Left And Its Responsibility for 9/11, New York: Doubleday, 2007. page 62.)

The D'Souza question centered upon if today's political discourse is similar to 1968 instead of  Mr. D'Souza's choice of  1860. No decision was reached. 

A discussion about Will Shakespeare taking credit for all those works though somebody had composed them in his name. No deconstruction was mentioned if he was not also gay.

Meeting adjourned because of a snow storm. No decision on next meeting place or time/date, though it was mention April 3 was during Holy Week (Passover and the Triduum) hence a delay of perhaps one week was quietly suggested. A member wondered when we would return to the Terrance at UW@Madison which was answered when it is warmer. There was consensus for Tully II because of the post meeting.

The After Meeting was attended by three members who discussed religion. All three have been studying the Bible.  The Meeting was finally closed when the snow storm became worse.

Town Hall Meeting

Sigh. The meetings of the Madison Conservatives of Townhall
have not met since the Republicans got trounced last November. The social
conservatives warning in 1998 to the Congressional Republicans came to a realization.

I know not what the other members thought of the past year,
your humble scribe was depressed by our national Republican committee (R.N.C.)
last June when they insisted Scott Walker should not challenge Representative
from Green Bay, Mark Green, for the Governorship. The goofy excuse being the R.N.C.
wouldn't invest money in a Walter campaign if he dared to win the primary
contest. How many other primary contests in other States did the R.N.C. screw
up? Then, there was former Governor, former Secretary of Health and Human
Services Tommy Thompson indecision not to run for U.S. Senate seat which left
his party no time for anybody else to mount a campaign. Now, Thompson thinks he
can be our next President. Who-ha! 

As for the current list of candidates for the Republican
nomination I am taking a pass; I am looking for a dark
horse. (I don't mean that horse's a$$ in Illinois!)

---

The far leftists have been insisting the President and
respectively us lied to the country because all of us did not announce our
doubts of victory before the elections. As if there is a moral responsibility to
say we won't win so don't vote for us and make our loss worse.

---

Okay, I admit I'm a reconnoiter at the Daily Kos, far leftist crazies weblog, under the moniker of Steddy Byrd. These people's posts are worse about President Bush-43 than we ever had been toward their boy-wonder, Bill Clinton, who served under his wife's first two terms as
President. I visit their site daily in order to know what kind of SOB I am each day.

David Aronin's weblog is a safe sanctuary of sound thought in this pandemonium.

---

I am attempting to get over my depression, without drugs (alcohol isn't a drug despite what those sham-scientists say.), by my going last Thursday to the Mayor forum in H₂Otown. Theprimary election is February 20. There are four candidates running. I graded them all on a 1 to 5 points system of my creation (1 is naught and 5 is good). 

Jim Braughler: 3.85 | Ron Krueger: 4.5 | Gerald Yenser: 3.37 |
Augie Tietz: 4.5

The deciding question for me came from some Preservationist who ask, "if they had watched algore's movie about global cooling warming climate change, and what policy plans they intend to institute in this fair city of H₂Otown. All four candidates didn't see the movie but Augie Tietz suggested he may see it. Yenser and Tietz would consider policies on global cooling warming climate change if the people came forward in support of such. Braughler said it was not the city's jurisdiction. Krueger agreed with Braughler but he mentioned Michael Crichton's novel, The State of Fear, which was about fear mongering by the Preservationists promoting the theories of those sham-scientists.

Vote Krueger for
Mayor!

I have been in continuously in contact with Tere via her Yahoo! instant messaging account; she usually fall asleep at her keyboard and leaves her Yahoo! IM connected throughout the night. I attempted to contact Dave Tabot at his gmail account which has instant messaging but he never replied.

Besides IMs, E-mails, or our private message board, I have another means of communication for us. This is not a Message Board nor a blog. Messages should be SHORT messages (160 characters limit) because that is the limit the mobile phone companies has placed upon text messaging. While this project is aimed toward text-messaging on smart phones, personal digital assistants, or other mobile devices, if one doesn't have such a mobile phone for
sending messages or you've limited amount of txt-messages, you can still message
through the website. Of course, we could keep in touch by way of the instant messengers
of which I subscribe to aim, icq, yahoo, msn, and gmail. The Upoc project allows us to keep connected while we are being mobile (which is me since I do my Internet-access on a Blackberry).

This is the place for Town Hall'ers. I've made this mobile forum in order for us to keep together our fellow Conservatives we have met over the years from the various groups that townhall.com had created since 1971 for us. [such as the message boards and chat rooms from the Sprint VAX/Mac computers, from the Compuserve private forum, and from the
recent chat rooms, soapboxes, "meetups," TownSquares, and blogs on the Internet.] It is the desire of the Scribe of the Madison Conservatives Town Hall to coordinate their actions through their mobile phones in order to take back Dane County and the country from the dark shallows of the left.

Faithfully Submitted,

Steddy

"TAMMY BALDWIN IS PATHETIC"

Last Sunday, Dave Magnum [not the Town Hall member] debated Tammy Baldwin on the University of Wisconsin at Madison campus in the Memorial Union and he exposed Baldwin's hypocrisy and 'tall tales' about her extreme agenda and and her ineffectiveness in Congress. Magnum supporters, included the Madison Town Hallers, turned out in force to back David Magnum. Fearless Leaders Tony reported that besides himself, "Dave (not Magnum) and Andy made the debate. Some old lady tried to make us remove our t-shirts. Dave put stop to that which was nice as I would have looked
funny^* without it. 

"No effort was made to make the attractive young ladies wearing Baldwin shirts remove theirs which was unfortunate. Tammy seems to have a lot of groupies.

"The Republicans had a good turn out. There seemed to be as many Magnums as Baldwins.

"Magnum did a respectable job despite frequent incoherent answers. Most of them seems to deal with foreign policy and global issues (global warming). Some sharp jabs were thrown.

"He also mentioned his sons, their futures and that his brothers had served in the military. I think that was a subtle way of making a lot of points about himself that contrast with Ms. Balwin.

"Tammy was, as expected, more polished. Came right out and said she's for cut and run and made it sound good. Magnum was able to get Tammy to discuss some of her other
"unorthodox" views.

"His points came across especially in his closing statement. I think he said something along the lines of Jefferson didn't want career politicians."

Dave (not Magnum) reported, "No Tony, you meant "funnier," not
"funny.^*"

"Tammy came across as a real intellectual lightweight. Dave [Magnum] did better, but he has to be very 'center-of-the-road' moderate to even stand a chance in this district
[editor note: 2nd Congressional District includes the student voters from the UW at Madison -- say no more it you know what I mean.]: more so than we would like, but let's be realistic.

"There was a lot of clapping and cheering for Dave before the start of the proceedings, but the juveniles on the left side couldn't contain themselves enough to follow the rules of decorum promulgated by the moderator when Tammy got screamingly emotional over the need to cut-and-run in Iraq.

"Tammy also responded to Dave's notice of her ineffectiveness in Congress (424 out of 438 overall) without understanding it. He had stated that she was dead last out of the 38(?) in her congressional freshmen class of 1998 and that [name I can't remember] was 11^th. She replied that [name I can't remember] had no committee chairmanships, etc, so how could he possible be 11^th? "Shows how ridiculous this survey is," she said. She didn't understand that Dave said [name i can't remember] was 11^th out of 38, not 11^th out of 438. She is pathetic.

Send Dave Magnum instead of Tammy Baldwin to Washington!

Tuesday,
3 October 2006

The Conservative Republicans of Madison met at 19:00 at the Cancun Restaurant. After meeting first at the The Mark Green for Governor Headquarter in order to stuff envelopes, make phone calls, and to receive yard signs, what not, four members and Carol Skorupan (of the Republican Party Dane County who came to advise us on the Fall campaign) met for the monthly meeting. The honorable Steddy was scribing via Instant Messaging since he found leaks in his canoe hence he was stuck in the flooded Madisan outback.

§ The Instant Minutes §

Slightly Older than a Teen: I stopped by the Republican HQ and picked up signs...and now I will sign up for phone calls for the 72 hour blitz before the vote (Get Out The Vote)

Steddy: Was anybody taking notes at meeting?

Slightly Older than a Teen: ahhh...no! We talked about that too. That's why we need YOU.

Slightly Older than a Teen: like: We gotta keep Steddy, man, he's the only one that does any work for this group. and we all love your reports!

Steddy: Anyway, keep posting what you recall about the meeting then I will do my magic at the weblog. :)

Slightly Older than a Teen: LOL

Slightly Older than a Teen: The debate between Tammy and Dave are coming up -- so we should get there early and fill the seats that Tammy's mob usually gets (you know...the students and non-working classes.) Six debates between Tammy Baldwin and Dave Magnum are scheduled.

Send Dave Magnum instead of Tammy Baldwin to Washington!
Save Wisconsin's 2nd District

Slightly Older than a Teen: Tony brought Magnum T-Shirts.. and so Dave put his on over his shirt. I had a large but I gave it to Andy... the rest of the shirts were like XL and XXL... so I declined to take one

FL: Carol suggested that a strong pro-Magnum presence at the debates would be a help. We need to get there early and grab seats up front. If not, Dave will have to debate surrounded by crazies. (Think of it as an act of kindness.) If you plan to attend, let me know and give me your t-shirt size (if you need a shirt). Dave and Andy I believed are good as are Shari and myself.

Steddy: no polo Shirts?

Slightly Older than a Teen: no....afraid not

FL has log-off. Your message will be delivered when they come back online.

Slightly Older than a Teen: We talked about ... the candidates'... and why we haven't seen any Tammy ads or Signs around...like...what's that all about?

Slightly Older than a Teen: Carol ran down their list of priorities...that candidates and the issues on the ballot...

Make Wisconsin Great Again!

Slightly Older than a Teen: we talked about the marriage definition act [Scribe's note: the Marriage Amendment referendum.] ... Carol said... and then Andy too... that the
second part is what keeps them from going with the [referendum]. 

Steddy: yea, they are trying to scared the voters into thinking the second paragraph
will put gays into camps 

Slightly Older than a Teen: ok, Tony relayed to us how his pastor was for the Marriage [referendum] b/c his daughter can't get her child on the daddy's med insurance... Tony kinda wondered why don't they just get married?

Steddy: Lol ... How will Marriage Amendment do that? But his pastor is voting yes so never mind. ... This week there is a discussion group at Marquette University: Is the Wisconsin Constitution Obsolete?. They are preparing re-writing the Wisconsin constitution. The people who wish for a new basic law are claiming the legislature is passing too many constitution referenda and the current constitution gives too much power to the people who do not know enough how to run the government like the bureaucrats in Madison do. LOL. We need to pass the Marriage Amendment to let the so-called reformers know what the people
want! You can bet such a convention will write a long basic law with every modern "right" professed by the radical left-wing who took and kept control the Democratic Party since the Sixties.

Slightly Older than a Teen: and then... we talked about how Republicans get creamed (no pun
intended) when they're caught with their sex life exposed.. but Democrats can keep right on going.. and re-elected!

Steddy: On all Instant Messaging programs the user can BAN anybody who is contacting them. Did the congressional pages ban Mark Foley, were they playing a practical joke on him which got out of hand, and were any messages doctored?

Slightly Older than a Teen: Oh, also, Carol went through a list of needs before the vote: yard
signs, phone banks on Wed evenings, literature drops on Saturday... with multiple candidates combining efforts 

Steddy: Ken Mehlman at gop.com sent an e-mail out announcing Rightroots. Website to give conservatives the power to contribute directly to the most competitive Republican campaigns. 

Slightly Older than a Teen: and public events that they want to be at to hand out stuff... football games,... Magnum showing up at High School football games..

Slightly Older than a Teen: Apparently, MATC (Madison Area Technical College) has a Republican Student group that's pretty active and they have Meet and Greet parties are
informal for discussing issues kind of like what we do at our meetings. 

Slightly Older than a Teen: Carol said they will send out an e-mail to alert us to an upcoming Meet and Greet at Vasquires on the 12th of October.

Meeting adjourned after it was agreed to meet at Mark Green's campaign spot next month (Election day is the same day as our monthly meet) with the understanding SOME of us will have done some volunteer work for him.

Slightly Older than a Teen: damntake I remembered more than I thought

Steddy: Okay

Slightly Older than a Teen: okay

Slightly Older than a Teen has log-off. Your message will be delivered when they come back online.

Steddy: These minutes have been submitted via instant messaging astoundingly without the assistance by any congressional pages.

The Minutes of Madison Townhall
News, Opinion, Action
formerly Townhall Meetup, Town Square
Tuesday, 5 September 2006

The Conservative Republicans of Madison met at 19:00 in the University of Wisconsin Union
which over looks Lake Mendota. Seven members were present; two left early. The honorable Steddy
was scribing the particulars of which he remembers of what he wants to record.

1. The meeting was interrupted by a parasailing daredevil flying over and buzzing low over the Lake and the UW Union terrace. It was suggested it may be a
terrorist plot and we should shoot it down. No action was taken since he flew away into the sunset.

2. FL warned of Dave Magnum lack of support from the party. Suggested a mention for him should be included in these minutes. 

Send Dave Magnum instead of Tammy to Washington!
Save the 2nd District

3. The Plame Game, Revisited! We are waiting the indictments for fraud. It was mentioned, of a one-time favorite Republican hopeful and possible Plame-mole, that Colin Powell was an "unpolitical" army general. 

4. What Not Items:

Rush Limbaugh was given 90 seconds on the CBS News. On his radio program, he said if he "saves one liberal" it is worth doing.

ABC is showing a two night docudrama called "Path to 9/11." It is schedule to begin this Sunday, 10-11 September. The husband of New York Senator, Hillary Rodham Clinton, is attempting to get rid of certain parts in the docudrama
that shows his failed policy on terrorism when he had served as the American president. (see Tim
Graham at NRO Corner) It is fun to watch the Democrats complain about a mere
movie. Hugh Hewitt writes "why does the left hate" this movie.

It was mentioned that another failed American president from the same
political party of the New York Senator's husband, is suffering from the Eisenhower syndrome: when you give an order then everybody follows that order. The boy wonder from Plains, Georgia, was no Ike Eisenhower who commanded respect
and loyalty from his assistants.

Democrats want to get rid of the Secretary of Defense though they don't want
to name the current office holder. 

The difference between a Republican and a Democrat in respecting our beliefs. Click here.

5. Military Tribunals? Good idea if they end in a firing squad.

6. John Edwards crosses over to '08.

7. Congressional ear-markings should have the sponsoring congressmen's name attached on them.

8. The Leftist bloggers hate Senator Lieberman for the one issue of his supporting Israel and the war despite his agreeing with every other liberal
crackpot idea.

9. Health care: we voted on pooling over government control of health "insurance." pooling was agreed as the only way since FL only gave us those two options.

10. What Not Items II:

Gas prices. It was mentioned that the CEO of Jetblue says if we moved to coal conversion and oil shale that in ten years we would be energy independent.

We voted to drill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Alaska, too.

Mexican electoral "dispute" ala algore. Build the wall,before the communists form a parallel government down there.

11. No response yet from Congress to repeal the imported Kelo decision by theU.S. Supreme Court.

12. Taxes. Ho hum, Democrats want more.

13. Election of next Fearless Leader (FL):

There were two ballots. The first ballot had numerous errors on a par with the Democratic party's counting all-the-votes-fit-to-count. So, there was a second ballot, where Dave won 4-0 with one not-voting, two left-early including Dave hence his election as the FL-elect. (Hint: never leave any meeting early.)

There are wild, irresponsible rumors about making this scribe as the next fl. The Scribe is too busy with the minutes and Madison Townhall web-log. He is reminded of the movie, Its a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, where Buddy Hackett when told by Mickey Rooney to both fly the plane and wear/listen on the headset to the tower for instructions for landing the plane, said, "I don't want to, what are you doing, WHAT!, Are you: the hostess?" 

14. Action: It was agreed to meet at the Cancun Restaurant in October. The Mark Green for Governor Headquarter is near Cancun. FL suggested we first meet at the Green HQ from 19:00 until 20:00 in order to stuff envelope/make phonecalls. At 20:00, we debrief at Cancun.

15. The meeting degraded when old goat and FL began lessons in freon and chemistry. The other three remaining members' eyes started to grazed over.

Meeting adjourned at 21:10. David Aronin reminds us in his recent blog to vote.

Faithfully submitted,
Steddy
scribe

 Minutes for the August Meeting



The Madison Townhall Conservatives met at the UW-Madison Union Terrace on Tuesday, 1 August 2006 at 1900.

1. Discussion of townhall.com dumping the townsquare concept. Do we go back to townhall.meetup.com? Steddy had reserved a Madison Townhall at the new townhall.com as our blog. Fearless leader will research the blog and yahoo message board in order for us to decide which is better for the group. There was mentioned that the yahoo message board which is private, public can't view it, be used as a place for the members to form ideas that could be refined and later posted at the townhall.com blog of Madison Townhall. Permission was granted to put Fearless Leader's e-mail address into the blog's address list so that he may receive posts to aid his research.

2. There was a question if it was the G8 or G7 plus Russian summit. It was pointed out that it was the G1 plus 7.

2a. Something about Jefferson's use of Letters of Marque would be a better way to fight terrorism by letting private enterprise fight the war with persmission to keep the booty. There was a question if a later treaty or meddlesome international "law" forbids Letters of Marque now.

3. Rep. Mark Green information was handed out. Information for helping his campaign to dump Doyle who currently controls the Governorship was available. See Mark Green for Governor at http://www.votemarkgreen.com

There are three months left in this campaign season.

4. Write Tommy Thompson in for US Senate in the September primary election, and the November general election. There was a brief mention of Senator LIEberman's primary election. Usual suspected words to describe Hillary Clinton.

5. That idiot UW instructor who insists the Vice President planned and carried out 9/11 shall not be given more mention again. We don't wish to other idiots the idea that there is a place in the Wisconsin schools for them and their stupid ideas.

6. The heat wave isn't global warming: its Summer, Stupid!
