Do The Right Thing - Observations from Mark Block

Congressman Paul Ryan has introduced his Roadmap for America’s Future.

Many people say it has no chance of becoming law and being implemented.

In 1977 I was a legislative aide to the late Congressman Bill Steiger. He introduced legislation that rolled back the capital gains tax rate from 39.9% to 28%.

Everyone - including then President Jimmy Carter siad it had no chance to becoming law. However the country was demanding change. The country was in trouble. It passed.

Bill Steiger, then a young 37 year old Congressman from Wisconsin made history by doing the right thing and beating all odds.

Can history repeat itself with a 36 year old Congressman from Wisconsin 31 years later? Will Paul Ryan’s Roadmap for America’s Future become law?

America is in trouble. If the American public demands change - history can repeat itself.

The Institute For One Wisconsin has a new web site. Protect Wisconsin’s Vote.

They are talking about the upcoming November election in Wisconsin and that there is a myth about voter fraud in Wisconsin.

I cannot agree with them concerning past elections because I saw it, but agree with them in November of 2008 it will be a little tougher for all the mischief that used to take place.

They must have heard the same rumors about the undercover folks already trying to see who is behind the past abuses and who is funding it. A FBI agent once told me - just follow the money.

George - where are you?
