The integrity of Wisconsin elections is on the verge of implosion, as United Wisconsin’s coordinated effort to recall Gov. Scott Walker has purportedly led to the submission of more than 1,000,000 petition signatures; leaving the overseer of Wisconsin elections, the Government Accountability Board, with a mountain of data in need of verification and no clear capability to conduct an audit of such scale. Unwilling to allow the abandonment of due process, True the Vote, together with Wisconsin GrandSons of Liberty and We the People of the Republic, launched Verify the Recall, an effort to engage citizens in an independent, comprehensive audit of recall petition signatures. To date, this unprecedented effort has inspired more than 10,000 citizens to sign on, all ready to serve as the nation’s largest all-volunteer data entry army. But even with 10,000 volunteers we still need many, many more! We made it easy – True the Vote will send you a link to online form and you enter in the information from the petitions. That’s it. TTV provides the training and support and you get to make history! Please sign up now and forward to your friends! And stay tuned – True the Vote is headed to Milwaukee on Tuesday, Jan. 24th, where they will host a press conference in the rotunda of the Wisconsin state capitol to announce new findings and more plans for the Verify the Recall Effort.

Late last week the Supreme Court put the kibosh on the Texas District Court judges who went rogue, rejected the redistricting maps presented to them, and decided to draw their own. PBSNewsHour had a couple of interesting guests on to discuss the “huge setback for the Democrats.” You can watch an 8 minute clip here. What’s next for Texas? The discussions will resume in court, new lines will be drawn, and very likely, new lawsuits will be filed. At some point a settlement will be reached and then….maybe we’ll have our primary. Meanwhile, Texas’ Photo Voter ID has gone through its first round of questioning and now waits for the decision of Mr. Holder.

There are few topics that get Streeters’ fired up faster than the issue of immigration. It’s a complicated problem that calls for serious debate leading to an actionable, enforceable plan. On Tuesday, January 31st, 11:30a-1:30p, at the Hyatt Regency, you’ll have an opportunity to enjoy a great lunch and hear the decidedly different views of some of our state’s most passionately outspoken experts; Michael Berry, Joan Shaan, Charles Foster, and Norman Adams. The event will be moderated by Attny. Gen. Greg Abbott.  If you want a ringside seat, let us know and we’ll reserve your spot at one of the King Street tables – and let us know quickly as this is sure to be a sell-out and there are limited seats available.  CLICK HERE FOR ALL THE DETAILS. To sit with King Street email us at info@kingstreetpatriots.org. Special request: because we receive a jillion emails, please put “Immigration Debate” in the subject line.

Monday, January 23rd, marks the first King Street LIVE program of 2012. In preparation for the year ahead, this Monday is dedicated to seeking God’s guidance as we endeavor to stand strong against all odds and hold to what we know is true of ourselves and our country. Fellow patriots, liberty is on life support. If we want to keep from losing it altogether, we must understand how we ever had it in the first place – and that answer is God. It is God who wired liberty into our hearts and it is God to whom we must turn for the strength to keep liberty alive. Our nation was born of divine inspiration given to founders of deep faith. If there is one thing, one quality, that sets us apart from the rest of the world it is that at our core we are a country carved from Judeo-Christianity; where all men are created equal and have inalienable rights given by God – not by government.

And so, just as the founders gathered to seek God’s guidance and blessing, so shall we. It is our heritage. It is our duty. To those who have expressed concern about the religious theme of Monday’s program, we appreciate your feedback and look forward to seeing you on future Mondays. To those who recognize the important role faith will play in the days ahead, please join us for an evening of song, a great word from Dr. Rick Scarborough, a time of prayer, and a few other wonderful surprises.

Many of you have heard the news that a circuit court in Wisconsin has required the Government Accountability Board to “do more” in ensuring the integrity of the signatures being collected in the current petition to recall Governor Scott Walker. This is good, but there is a lot of gray area between the comprehensive audit that should be done and “do more”. Either way, True the Vote is still doing the audit and we still need your help. We are thrilled to report almost 9,000 patriots have signed on to help verify the recall signatures, but we can use all the help we can get. If you want to know more about how you can get involved with the Verify the Recall project click here.
