Listen "This “self governance” thing never ends! (Hour 2)"
Episode Synopsis
Self governance is a long game, and it requires each of our selves, constantly. With that in mind, a quick reminder! Our next election is April 1st, where our options for self governance in Wisconsin will include selecting a new state Supreme Court justice and State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Check your registration and all items on your ballot here! Part of self-governance includes holding your elected officials accountable. And those elected officials must submit themselves to OUR- We the People's- reckoning. Yet following cool welcomes and constituent dissatisfaction, Republican lawmakers are counseled to cease holding in-person town hall events. And one of Wisconsin's Congresspeople, Rep. Van Orden compares those upset constituents to Nazis... not a great look.
Self-governance is a radically new idea. And it's one that We the People enshrined in a radical document in 1776, our Declaration of Independence. Now, our president wants to move that original document away from the public and into his office. Nu uh, says We.Sneaking in one last bit of news, some national Republicans are now admitting, Medicare cuts are absolutely in the cards. Why? Well, the system's going bankrupt! Who's saying that? Rick Scott, the richest senator and a guy who knows a thing or two about Medicare fraud. Since, y'know, he committed it.
Still, with all the *bleh* we end the day with something good! Something like this video of Jay Fergusun performing "Thunder Island." That's really good!
