Paul Thomas, an Ozaukee County resident and former teacher, will share his story which starts with wanting to save money and ends with creating a life away from fossil fuels.
The presentation will include: “What options are applicable in this region?” “How can you inexpensively start the alternative energy path?” and “Why would you want to leave fossil fuels in the ground?”
This presentation is meant to give you a spectrum of ideas on how to utilize the world of alternative energy, as opposed to a pitch to abandon all civilized life.
Come and join us to learn more about everyday ways to reduce fossil fuel use.
Hello Everyone,
Last week was a very eventful week! We had two great, back-to-back events—one with Russ Feingold and one with Judge Joe Donald and Judge JoAnn Kloppenburg.
Both these events had awesome turnouts, and I had a great time meeting the folks attending.
For those two events, last week alone, I made about 850 phone calls. It definitely made an impact for the Russ Feingold event, since we had about 120 people attending, and also for the Wisconsin State Supreme Court Open House, since we had over 50 people attend.
You can view photos from these two events—and future events—on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram by clicking on the icon links in the right column.

In the coming weeks, the Wisconsin State Legislature will be voting on a variety of bills that are concerning.
One of those bills would allow guns on school grounds and in classrooms. As Representative David Bowen (D-Milwaukee) notes in the article attached below: “It’s not OK for everyone to have guns in an environment where children and families are at.”
