Greetings!

This is a reminder for the SWWAP sign brigade this Saturday, December 13. All are invited and encouraged to attend this event. Check out this week's good news update as well as timely posts concerning these times we endure.

THIS WEEK'S ACTION

This Saturday, December 13, South West Wisconsin Area Progressives will remind motorists of the dangers of fascism in America. Join us for one hour, 10:30 - 11:30 am for the sign brigade.


JOIN SWWAP IN THIS POWERFUL ACTION

On Saturday, December 13

10:30 - 11:30

We will meet at

Liberty Park, 1201 Cox Drive, Mount Horeb

( ❄ DRESS FOR THE WEATHER ❄)


We want to make these signs of fascism the focus of the display. (If you wish to display a sign you bring, we'll have designated places for that.) Please dress for the weather. This action will present the warning signs of fascism taking root in America.


You can stand or sit on a chair that you bring. We have the collection of signs, so bring a friend to help out. We'll also have nomination papers to sign for Judge Chris Taylor for Wisconsin Supreme Court.

YES, IT WILL BE COLD

DRESS FOR THE WEATHER

"Let it be told to the future world, that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive, that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet and to repulse it".  - Thomas Paine, American Crisis

AFTER RALLY WARM UP ☕️


Yes it's cold, but after our hour on the sign brigade, all are invited to convene at Brix Cider, 119 S. Second Street, Mount Horeb, for a hot toddy or a cup of joe.

FREEZE OUT FASCISM!


Over 11,000 motorists drive through Mount Horeb each and every day! We will once again be displaying the warning signs of fascism this Saturday, December 13.

Fear and Anxiety Drive Conservatives' Political Attitudes

Conservatives and liberals don't just have different outlooks and opinions. They may also have different brains. "Furthermore, knowing why someone is the way they are can help us to be more tolerant and patient with one another. But we must also be honest about the situation. When important choices are being made based on gut instinct rather than logical reasoning, it is everyone’s responsibility to point this out so that it doesn’t result in catastrophe".
