Sorry folks, no links today. I had a family thing I had to attend to.
For the rest of the night, I will be helping verify recall petitions for Gov. Scott Walker. The unions are out in full force trying to sabotage the progress that Walker has made for the state of Wisconsin. If you would like to help a true defender of freedom, private property rights, and the taxpayer GO HERE.
