The Republican Party of Wood County is an all volunteer grassroots organization dedicated to promoting conservative Republican values in central Wisconsin.
Preside
nt Ronald Reagan said, “Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves”.
Government exists to protect individual freedoms and liberties. Limited government is a fundamental belief of our party.
We believe that all people are equal in the eyes of God and should have equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity, regardless of race, creed, age, sex, and national origin.
Government is necessary to preserve a strong national defense, ensure individual liberties, provide a responsible economy, ensure justice, and to do jointly what would be too difficult for citizens to do separately. However, taxation that exceeds the necessary Constitutional functions of government erodes private ownership, decreases individual initiative, stifles the economy and mortgages the future of our children.
We enthusiastically support the bill of rights, a federal representative democracy, fair elections, and the sanctity of life.
Elections are won with the support of the grassroots and you are being heard. We need you to continue to be the voice of reason for our elected officials and the party as a whole. So we need your help. It takes volunteers like you to get the job done. Please visit our site, learn more about us, and join us as we make a difference.

Reader Rick is biting the bullet …
“The President (ordered the cabinet to cut $100,000,000.00 ($100 million) from the $3,500,000,000,000.00 ($3.5 trillion) Federal budget.
I’m so impressed by this sacrifice that I have decided to do the same thing with my personal budget.
I spend about $2,000 a month on groceries, household expenses, medicine, utilities, etc., but it’s time to get out the budget cutting axe, go through my expenses, and cut back.
I’m going to cut my spending at exactly the same ratio: 1/35,000 of my total budget or multiply by 0.000285714285.
After doing the math, it looks like instead of spending $2,000 a month, I’m going to have to cut that number by SIX CENTS ($.06).
Yes, I’m going to have to get by with $1999.94…but that’s what sacrifice is all about.
I’ll just have to do without some things, that are, frankly, luxuries – six cents worth.”

BIPARTISAN COMMISSION IN FAVOR OF VOTER ID: ” Critics of requiring voters to present a photo ID at the polls say the practice would disenfranchise minority voters, and some even accuse proponents of being motivated by racism. They don’t mention, however, that a 21-member bipartisan Commission on Federal Election Reform, co-chaired by former President Jimmy Carter, advocated just such a policy in 2005.”

President Reagan understood [the American desire for self-rule]. In his first inaugural address, he reminded us that “from time to time, we have been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. But if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else?”

“There is a great deal at stake in 2012: Obamacare either will be uprooted or it will be entrenched, the growth of the deficit either will be curtailed or it will run rampant, our ability to see to our national-security interests either will be reinforced or it will be diminished, the Supreme Court either will become more a guardian of the Constitution or it will become more a guardian of liberal pet interests. And, barring some unforeseen development, the next president will be either a former Republican governor and business executive, a former Republican senator who has been a reliable lifelong conservative, or a left-wing community organizer born metaphorically of the Chicago machine — but born literally in Hawaii.”

“You would think that a “liberal” is someone easygoing, embracing a live-and-let-live attitude. In reality, liberals tend to be huge control freaks — arrogantly thinking themselves compassionately and intellectually superior to us common folks. This makes them best-qualified to dictate how we should live our lives. Liberalism birthed political correctness, which seeks to control what we are permitted to think, say, and do.”

Big government’s appetite for taxes is insatiable. It will spend everything it is given and more. True, “starving the beast” has done little to reduce government spending. But feeding the beast is not likely to be more successful. In the end, the only thing that will actually kill the beast is killing the beast. That means actually cutting spending.

“The ideas that federal spending exploded under George W. Bush, that “Bush’s wars” account for our spending explosion, that Reaganism died with Reagan, and that we are on a spending binge that started decades ago are all nonsense.
Our current spending binge is a very recent phenomenon with a very specific starting point: the year Democrats started writing budgets (or continuing resolutions), compounded by Barack Obama’s inauguration.”
Randall Hoven, American Thinker, 11/25/11

The phrase “tax cuts for the rich” has been repeated endlessly by Democrats without one Republican that I know of saying, “Folks, I don’t lie awake at night worrying about millionaires’ tax problems. Millionaires have lawyers and accountants who get paid to do that. But I do worry about jobs being lost to millions of American workers because we make the business climate here worse than in other countries. That’s a high price to pay for rhetoric.”

“Liberalism nowadays may be the last great holdout of old-fashioned prejudice. By telling themselves they’re against group hatreds of all kinds, and dismissing their opponents’ arguments as nothing but bigotry in disguise, liberals grant themselves license to despise. They swear, mock, and hate with a clean conscience, never guessing they’re turning liberalism itself into an outpost of bigotry in reverse. The flip side of liberal guilt is this hidden license to hate.”
