Many events today, this week. Stealth Steve Kagen meeting
Steve Kagen town hall, unpublicized, Shawano Civic Center, 3:30 today. Thanks to Brad VanLanen – No advance notice?
Apparently Congressman Kagen is planning on moving around the district in stealth mode during the current break.
… It seems Congressman Kagen is going to be visiting the Civic Center in Shawano at 3:30 tomorrow (4/7) to discuss the changes in healthcare. But the media has either not been informed or not planning on reporting the details of this visit until the last minute. No mention as of 3:30 pm on any Green Bay media websites. In fact a call to Congressman Kagen’s Green Bay office directs scheduling questions to his Appleton office. So I placed a call to that office and Amanda the visit.
So if you want to let Congressman Kagen know how you feel about his vote on the healthcare bill show up to the Civic Center in Shawano tomorrow [today] afternoon.
Also today, Wednesday, April.7th, AFP-sponsored “Tea Party Express” tour comes to Green Bay Leicht Memorial Park, 2:00 - 3:00 pm, 206 Dousman Street
Thursday, April 8, 2:00 pm 8th Congressional District candidates discuss housing industry issues. Public is welcome. Wrightstown High School auditorium, 600 High Street Sponsored by Valley Home Builders Association, Brown County Home Builders Association, Headwaters Builders Association, Wolf river builders Association and the Realtors Association of Northeast Wisconsin.
Thursday, April 8, 9:30 pm Come Welcome Our WWII Veterans Home! From Dave Stanek:
On Thursday, April 8th, at approximately 9:45 p.m. a charter flight with 100 World War II veterans from Northeastern Wisconsin will be arriving at the Outagamie County Regional Airport in Appleton.
This flight is sponsored by Old Glory Honor Flight as a way to honor our local WWII veterans. The flight will be returning from Washington D.C. where the veterans were taken, free of charge, on tours of the WWII memorial, Arlington National Cemetery, and other related monuments.
These men and women are part of the “Greatest Generation” that sacrificed so much to ensure we have the freedoms we enjoy today. Most returned from the war with little fanfare and simply resumed their normal lives. This is an opportunity to show your appreciation for what they did for our country.
Saturday, April 10 If you can get away to Indianapolis this weekend… Seedbeds of Virtue and Liberty: The Theory and Practice of a Free Society 11:00 am, Allison Mansion at Marian University
How is the love for freedom imparted to new generations of Americans? Alexis de Tocqueville observed that the vitality of the American Republic was sustained by habits of self-government and the love for liberty. He saw this passion and commitment to freedom infused and reinforced in each new generation by the institutions of civil society—non-governmental entities such as the family, the church, and private business. This conference will examine the role that those institu¬tions must continue to play if the love for liberty is to be sustained.
Tuesday, April 13, 7:00 pm More great stuff from the N.E.W. Patriots, hosting a candidate forum featuring candidates for State Assembly Districts 2 (currently represented by Ted Zigmunt, D-Francis Creek) and 5 (currently represented by Tom Nelson, D-Kaukauana). Evergreen Bar and Grill, 7075 Morrison Rd., Morrison. My husband and I often meet about 6:30 and order dinner from the bar. Good pizza!
Wednesday, April 14, 5:30 – 8:00 pm Pints ‘n Politics at DejaVu Lounge, College Avenue, Appleton. Sponsored by Outagamie County Republican Women
Thursday, April 15, Tax-Day Taxpayer Tea Party - The Big One

Thursday, April 15, Taxpayer Tea Party, Appleton 6:00 pm, Fox Banquets, 111 E. Kimball St.
On April 15th at Fox Banquets at 6pm, we will show them that we have not forgotten. We will show them that we will not go away. We will show them the power of our voices. And most importantly we will show them that it is not over!
Please be there. We will be having fantastic speakers including area doctors forecasting the changes in their practices and your health care, local business owners giving you the bottom line on this bill’s impact and the impact of big government and regulation on the economy, and an economist that can back it all up. But most importantly, we will have a plan that can and will defeat this bill and begin the process of bringing our federal government back in line with the principles of the Constitution. We will share that plan with you on the 15th. I promise you will walk away with a renewed faith in your ability to take this country back.
Wednesday, April 28, 7:30 pm Anyone interested in hearing Amy Goodman? Zorn Arena, UW-Eau Claire Tickets $8, Students $4
