Why Is This Man In Your Mailbox?

By Jeff Simpson

Brookfield's Bob Reddin is the registered agent for a dark money corporation inexplicably called "Jobs First Coalition(JFC)"!  Chances are if you are in a competitive district in Wisconsin, he has cluttered up your mailbox with filth.

  It is a group dedicated to electing Republicans in Wisconsin via really negative mailings.   JFC has almost a million dollars on hand, and regularly gives to such extremist groups as Wisconsin Club For Growth and American Federation for Children(starting to see a theme?). 

They are registered as a 501(c)4 whose stated goal is: 

devoted to making the creation and retention of family-supporting jobs the top priority of government and community leaders in Wisconsin.

 The problem they have is they forget to mention jobs in any of their negative misleading hateful ads. To be fair though, they did create some jobs(albeit legal) when a complaint was filed against them for their despicable attempts to derail Assemblyman Steve Doyle.

JFC is at it again, this time smearing Attorney Dana Duncan in a last ditch desperate attempt to get the honey fibber re-elected!

JFC coalition sent a mailer to Assembly District 72 that was beyond the pale.

 

What really happened in this case?  According to Jason Zencka of the Stevens Point Journal:

A Plover man received a 20-year prison sentence Monday for repeatedly sexually assaulting a 7-year-old boy he
baby-sat in April 2006.
Jeremy W. Smith is accused of sexually assaulted the juvenile as many as 25 times in the boy's house while the boy's
parents worked out of town. Smith only spoke once during the hearing, to say he did not wish to speak on his own
behalf.
Charges against Smith came in May 2007, shortly after he was convicted of sexually assaulting two girls in 2006.
Smith is serving a 14-year prison sentence after being convicted of those charges.
At the time of his previous conviction, Smith said through his attorney, Sheila Kessler, that he did not assault the girls,
although if he did, his actions were committed during a time in which he "blacked out." Smith pleaded guilty to spare
the girls the emotional turmoil of trial, Kessler said.
On Monday, Smith's new attorney, Dana Duncan, said that Smith had only admitted to assaulting the 7-year-old boy
once in April 2006, not several times.
Descriptions of Smith's own childhood during the hearing verged on the nightmarish, with Judge John Finn describing
Smith's father as a man who sexually assaulted Smith and threw knives at him. Smith was later sexually assaulted by
his mother, said Finn, who said she would leave Smith and his siblings in a house for days without food or running
water.
Little was said about Smith outside of his childhood abuse and his criminal history, both of which were lengthy.
Smith's new sentence will run consecutive to his previous sexual assault sentence. The first 10 years of his new
sentence will be served in confinement, the last 10 in extended supervision.
"There is potential for Mr. Smith, despite these heinous crimes, to actually be able to deal with these demons and try
and overcome them to become a relevant member of society," said Duncan.

While Bob Reddin is the current figurehead of JFC, it was originally founded by formerly convicted felon Scott Jensen.  It was Jensen's first foray back into politics after leaving in total disgrace from the orginal caucus scandal.  This explains where the fear mongering, lies and lack of ethics come into play.  Also, Mr. Reddin is an Alderman in the city of Brookfield.   Maybe it is time for his constituents to ask why he would take part in such a despicable, unethical shadow election ploy and ask him what else he is hiding!!

Erik Hovde's $400,000 Gaffe!

We saw recently that with enough advertising the people of Wisconsin will believe anything. We found out that as the saying goes, for $30,000,000 the republican party can sell ice to an eskimo.   With enough commercials on TV, the republican party of WI was able to trick the people of WI into thinking that Scott Walker has actually created jobs. 

Recently, Washington DC resident Eric Hovde who is running for a Wisconsin Senate Seat actually took time away from sucking taxpayer dollars out of our government to actually visit Wisconsin, now probably wishes he hadn't.  The problem was he spoke his truth, which never goes well for the republican party(FF to 13:45):




H/T Huffington Post:

Then, pointing to a reporter in the audience, Hovde said he would love to see the press stop covering sad stories about low-income individuals who can't get benefits and start covering issues like the deficit more frequently.

"I see a reporter here," he said. "I just pray that you start writing about these issues. I just pray. Stop always writing about, 'Oh, the person couldn't get, you know, their food stamps or this or that.' You know, I saw something the other day -- it's like, another sob story, and I'm like, 'But what about what's happening to the country and the country as a whole?' That's going to devastate everybody."

This was followed by an announcement by the Koch Brothers Front Group,  American for Middle Class Poverty , that they would immediately be spending $400,000 in ads for the Senate seat which will not be up for vote until November. 

This is what the call damage control.  Since there is a chance that Eric Hovde will win the republican nomination, they need to overwhelm the message and change the topic, ASAP. 

Just some quick advice to AFP:  It took $30 million dollars, 70 paid field organizers and busloads of paid looneys from Illinois to come up and make sure Scott Walker won his recall, and he is a professional politician who is actually from WI.   I think estimating this gaffe at only $400,000 is a pretty low estimate.  

Finally, one question I just can not figure out.  What is the Prayer that Eric Hovde Prays to end these "sob stories"  

Dear Jesus please make the stories of the poor disappear who cares about them anyway?  Its the rich who might lose 3% of their income that you and I both know are the true Christians in this world?  

Dear Jesus, why do my rich ears and eyes need to keep being exposed to boring stories of people not being able to eat?   I had a Filet yesterday that was amazing but a little small, I was hungry an hour later and no reporter wrote a story about that

Dear Jesus, I know all of that talk about the poor in the New Testament was all just parables and code words.  I know that the richest people on earth are the one who you love the most.  Please make those annoying reporters stop wasting time on stories about the poor in this country.  They live in America where a guy who lives in Washington DC can run for Senate in Wisconsin, so if i can overcome those odds, than those poor lazy people can go eat at McDonalds and stop bothering me. 

 Leave us a better prayer to stop the "sob stories" of the poor people in this country so we can start praying for Eric Hovde immediately!  

Finally if this sickens you(like it should) please go here and give Tammy a little bit of support!
