The sky is falling or at least Washington seems to think so. And because they do, get ready for new taxes, new spending and new regulations. The nanny state is alive and well and if you don't listen and do what Washington tells you to do, you might just get hit on the head. So watch out this morning when you leave your front door, because you never know what might hit you

On August 22nd Huck PAC supporters will gather to meet one another and make phone calls on behalf of Huck PAC endorsed candidate Bob McDonnell. Bob is running for Governor of Virginia. He has what it takes to be a great leader for Virginia.
Our goal for the day is to make 10,000 calls to Virginia voters. We are asking participants at each House Party to make a few calls using their cell phones. You do not have to make calls to attend a Party and participation is FREE. We will provide the lists of voters names and phone scripts for everyone willing to participate.
First though, we need House Party hosts. If you are interested in hosting a House Party or want more information please contact Katie Beth Harris at Huck PAC or call Huck PAC at 501-324-2008. Her email is katiebeth.harris(at)mikehuckabee.com.
As we identify House Party Hosts we will add their party information to the map below.

June Team Huck Wisconsin Newsletter
by Randy Melchert - Wisconsin Coordinator
Just a quick update on what's going on in the Dairyland:
Wisconsin Political News
Wisconsin is in serious trouble - the estimated state deficit is over $6.6 billion. That's over $1,100 per person - estimated by some to be the 4th highest deficit in the nation.
There's massive wasteful government spending, tax hikes, and fee hikes in this years budget. State Senator Joe Leibham from Sheboygan reports: "Total “all funds” spending in the Governor’s budget proposal would equal $63 billion, an increase of 7.7 percent over the current base of $58.5 billion. Governor Doyle seeks to balance his budget in large part with a number of tax increases, some of which include the income tax ($311 million), capital gains tax ($180 million), hospital health care tax ($99 million), oil company tax ($271 million), tobacco tax ($343 million), and a number of business tax increases totaling about $225 million."
The situation is so bad that over 3,700 citizens are attempting to recall Governor Doyle, whose approval rating is at 35% - third lowest in the country according to recent polls.
Conservatives are needed now more than ever to get involved and start getting ready for the 2010 elections - 99 state assembly seats, 15 state senate seats, and the governorship will be up for grabs. We need to take back the Assembly, the Senate, and the Governorship in 2010, and all of us need to get involved.
Check out upcoming Events
The Wisconsin Team Huck page has several upcoming events. Find out about upcoming GOP events in Walworth, Rock, Washington, and Milwaukee county that you can network with other Republicans and identify fellow conservatives.

Wisconsin Fundraising Goal - halfway to $1,000

Tea Party Recap
*If you missed the Madison Tea Party, it was incredible. Over 8,000 people showed up on the steps of the Capitol. I was on WVCY's In Focus playing some highlights of the Tea Party (you can watch it online here). A home-educated high school student, Mellika Willoughby, gave a phenomenal speech that you can watch on the video as well! Matt Harter, the 24 year old mayor of La Crosse, was also at the Tea Party, and later at the GOP Convention, he welcomed the delegates to his town.
*
WisGOP Convention Recap*
Speaking of the Convention, May 1-3 was the GOP Convention in La Crosse. Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker's people were out in force - Saturday morning saw the Walker hospitality tables loaded with coffee for
conventiongoers, as well as t-shirts and signs! WisPolitics.com held a straw poll, and Walker won 93% of the vote for governor. For Lieutenant Governor, Mayor Dave Ross of Superior received 35% of the vote. Mayor Ross has
travelled the state extensively over the past few months- he was in Milwaukee for the Defending the American Dream summit, and spoke briefly at the Madison Tea Party.
*
2010 WisGOP Convention - Milwaukee*
If you missed out on this years convention, make plans to attend next year's convention, May 21-23 in Milwaukee. The 2010 convention will be voting on the party platform, endorsements for statewide office, resolutions, and more. You can be a delegate to the 2010 convention by joining your county GOP party (for Waukesha County, that's only $15!). Once you sign up, let your county party know that you would like to be a delegate, and then you
are able to vote at the 2010 Convention!

When the Secretary of the Treasury can't even fill out his own income tax return, we need change. Mike Huckabee has championed the Fair Tax that will eliminate the onerous and impossible income tax code. He shares our family values, and best of all - he can communicate them in a way that even if you don't agree with him, you have to admit - he got his point across. I've been excited to watch the campaign, but now I am thrilled to be a part of helping conservatives get elected across the nation!

On April 15th, the Wisconsin Tea party will be held at the State Capitol. Organizers are preparing for 5,000 people from across Wisconsin. For more info go to www.fightbackwisconsin.com.
We have an important election coming up on April 7th. The Spring Nonpartisan election is usually disregarded (the voter turnout for the primary was barely 6%) but many important races are on the ballot. In addition to local school board, village board, and other races, there are two important statewide races. The Supreme Court election features the incumbent Justice Shirley Abrahamson and Judge Randy Koschnick, a judicial conservative endorsed by the NRA, Wisconsin Right to Life, and Pro-Life Wisconsin. Also on the ballot is the Superintendent of Public Instruction - an open seat featuring Rose Fernandez (endorsed by Sheriff Clarke and the Wisconsin State Journal) and Tony Evers (endorsed by Planned Parenthood and Governor Jim Doyle).

About Your Wisconsin Huck PAC Coordinator
by Randy Melchert - WI Coordinator
Hello! I'm Randy Melchert and I'm the HuckPAC Coordinator for Wisconsin. Because Governor Huckabee didn't come to Wisconsin early in the campaign (he was too concerned with these random states like Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina :-)) I went down to Davenport to hear him for myself and was excited by what I heard. His campaign helped inspire me to look at how I could get involved, as a result I ran for the State Assembly the summer of 2008, and although I came up short, I learned a lot and have been able to help other candidates along the way.
Randy Melchert the Grassroots Coordinator for Wisconsin has started a Facebook group for his state here. Please spread the word to friends and family living inside of Wisconsin.
This picture comes up when you Google "Wisconsin" images. Stunning.
