Tea Party in Wisconsin Poised to Destroy the Left

The Left in Wisconsin has surrendered its lead in grassroots organizing as Tea Party groups hone their skills thanks to a training blitz by American Majority, the nations’ premier conservative activist and candidate training organization.  To equip grassroots conservatives who are on the front-lines of what has become a nationally observed battle in Wisconsin, American Majority launched a 5-week long Spring Training Blitz to train hundreds of activists in 8 separate trainings across Wisconsin.

The Tea Party in Wisconsin has consistently answered the call when challenged by Big Labor and Wisconsin Progressives.  From last year’s battles over the Budget Repair Bill, the Prosser-Kloppenburg Supreme Court election and recount, State Senate recalls both for and against their opponents and allies, to ensuring transparency with Verify the Recall, the Tea Party has been winning these clashes with the Left.

Leading up to this spring American Majority was inundated with training requests from individuals and groups ready to move beyond the protests and mobilize into a real force.  The Spring Training Blitz was launched in response to these requests for training and has stops in Wausau, Milwaukee, Waterloo, New Berlin, Manitowoc, Oostburg, Franklin, and Eagle River.  It comes at a time when Tea Party leaders in Wisconsin are building a groundswell movement that is poised to once again turn back the Left’s assault on the conservative principles that inspired the movement.

American Majority’s work and the dedication of local Tea Party leaders has drawn high praise from the media and grudging respect from the Left.  Robert Mentzer, opinion editor for the Wausau Daily Herald attended an American Majority training and wrote a glowing column on how American Majority is helping forge the Tea Party into a permanent grassroots force.

Radical student protesters from the United Council of UW Students, a leftwing student group with a presence on every University of Wisconsin campus, attempted to disrupt Jake Jacobs speaking at the Manitowoc TEA Movement’s Education Day, where American Majority was training about building a robust conservative infrastructure.

American Majority even inspired left-wing blogger Abe Sauer, to go on a profanity laced rant on the inadequacies of the Left and triumphs of the Right.

No longer can liberals in Wisconsin claim to have a monopoly on cutting edge grassroots tactics and organization that make political victory possible.  Thanks to the passion and patriotism of Tea Party leaders, the grassroots organizing momentum in Wisconsin is shifting rightward.

Matt Batzel is the Executive Director for Wisconsin of American Majority, the nation’s leading national conservative grassroots training organization.  To learn more about American Majority visit www.AmericanMajority.org.

    It’s music to my ears to hear this. A week until the recall primaries. Five until the recall. We’re going to beat ‘em!

      Gov. Scott Walker continues to shatter fundraising records in an effort to survive the upcoming recall election, raising about $13 million in the most recent campaign filing period, bringing his total war chest to more than $25 million raised since January 2011 …

      According to the governor, who announced his totals Monday afternoon, he received 125,926 contributions, of which 76 percent were $50 or less.Read more

    the 2012 elections in general.

      They were busy. Guy had to talk me up while we waited for the credit card person to take my information. Hope that means donations are coming in for him. He could be one of the most popular Rs right now. Although, I do like Rand Paul a lot.

  • westcoastpatriette

    Thanks for writing. Many are trying to write off the Tea Party as dead and stories like this one inspire the rest of us. Can’t wait to see Scott Walker win his recall election. I will be celebrating with y’all.

    The Cons have spent the entire primary season avoiding the Tea Baggies. Why? Because the TP was only a clever tool they created themselves and not a “Party” from the get go. It was a holding pen inside a much larger tent that never was quite able to lure anyone from outside the bigger tent into its fold. It was the GOPs attempt at steering the post Bush disgruntled moderate Republicans from flying the coupe, and it worked beautifully. Now that the threat is over, the GOP leaders have quietly dismantled and disarmed the monster they created.

    The TEA Party had NOTHING to do with this…whatsoever.

    Idiot.

    “It was the GOPs attempt at steering the post Bush disgruntled moderate Republicans from flying the coupe, and it worked beautifully.”

    You clearly no zero about the election of 2010. The GOP captured districts in some parts of the country that have elected nothing but Democrats since the 1890′s. Read some political history before you dispaly your rear end in public again.

    Just trying to yank some chains? You need to try harder, write better, and have at least one fact to hang it on.

    My mom is a big Lugar supporter from IN and she is under the impression that ousting Lugar will result in handing the seat to the Dems?

    I want her to be wrong. She is so mad about the challenge to Lugar that I have not admitted to be a Mourdock supporter, although I think she is suspicious. I don’t live in IN so I don’t have a feet on the ground feel.

  • commonsenseobserver

    But I doubt the Democrats can win, unless some unexpected thing occurs.

  • APA Guy

    Joe Donnelly is popular in South Bend. His popularity wanes considerably and exponentially as you head south.

  • commonsenseobserver

    Doesn’t the South tend to be slightly more Democrat-leaning, though?

  • APA Guy

    The rest are either solidly red or marginally split…and the split counties are few and far between.

    Donnelly wins the little Chicago areas and Marion County…all others he loses…and in rural areas, he loses BIG.

    If Mourdock doesn’t win by at least 15 points, I’ll be surprised.

  • hoosierchristian

    ..and there’s NO way Mourdock loses in a general election where a majority of voters are going to vote straight ticket Republican to defeat the the Obama regime and its lackeys.

    Fear is self-fulfilling death spiral for action. If a Republican is concerned about the prospects of their nominee in the general election, all the more reason to fully support the candidate and vocally encourage others to do so.
