Greetings!

Hope all had a great Thanksgiving and are enjoying the season. As we transition to winter, let us stay focused on resistance to the forces which would usurp our democratic values and ideals, make us unsafe and diminish our liberties. We will again have a one hour sign brigade on Saturday, December 13.

On Saturday, November 15, SWWAP organized a sign brigade featuring the warning signs of fascism. A steady stream of motorists were reminded that that America is fast adopting many of the dangerous tenets which are familiar to authoritarian regimes and that is up to us to protect our fundamental rights and liberties.


LET'S DO IT AGAIN!

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. A few of those signs highlight:


Demonization of Enemies: The use of extreme nationalism and a division of society into "us vs. them," often scapegoating minorities, immigrants, or the press.


Disregard for Democratic Norms: Undermining trust in elections, the judiciary, and independent media, and a willingness to challenge or ignore court rulings and constitutional processes.


Condoning Violence: Implicitly or explicitly encouraging violence against political opponents.


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.

ACCORDING TO A RECENT TRAFFIC STUDY BY THE MH POLICE DEPARTMENT, 11,000 VEHICLES ON AVERAGE TRAVEL THROUGH MOUNT HOREB EACH DAY! FOR ONE HOUR LET'S SHOW THE SATURDAY MOTORISTS THE DANGERS OF FASCISM.

While at this event, be sure to sign Chris Taylor's nomination papers for Wisconsin Supreme Court! She is a truly amazing candidate!


Or, stop by Sunn Cafe on Friday, Dec. 5, 10-12, or Brix Cider on Saturday, Dec. 6, 11:00-12:30, to sign.

THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.

GOP ACTION THREATENS AMERICANS

HEALTH AND WEALTH

Last week Newsweek published an article about the rise in health insurance premiums that people purchasing their policies through the Affordable Care Act exchanges will face when the subsidies expire at the end of this year.

Map shows how much health insurance premiums 
will go up in each state

The ACA marketplace offers health insurance to millions of Americans, but expanded subsidies will soon expire. According to the Congressional Budget Office, letting the subsidies lapse would cause next year’s premiums to more than double for many enrollees and leave an estimated 2 million additional people uninsured.

A Tennessee Election Has GOP Fearing

2026 Blowout For Democrats

This week's Tennessee special election has Republicans panicked, with Democrats predicting at least 70 House seats are now in play for 2026.

"Real patriotism means bringing people together. It means lifting each other up and improving each other's lives. You cannot love your country if you hate half of the people in it".

  • Governor Wes Moore, Maryland
