The resident's of the A.O. Smith/Tower Automotive neighborhood and everyone who feels personally connected to the site have decided it is time they build a united front for change in their neighborhood. They are researching Community Advisory Board models around the country with the hopes of creating their own board here in Milwaukee. The board will not be a 501c3, will be autonomous from any funding strings and will speak directly to the needs and the political concerns of the residents.

Residents who are interested in helping this effort should attend the next neighborhood meeting on May 10th, 2008 at the Center Street Library. (27th and Fond du Lac) at 10:15 AM.

This meeting is open to anyone who cares about what is happening in our city and believes that residents should have the opportunity to compete for the jobs our money creates!
For Release On:
March 25, 2008

Fed up with Injustice, Milwaukee Residents "Rise Up"

More than 1,000 city residents unite to solve Milwaukee's economic crisis

Milwaukee is facing harsh economic times. In response, residents are "Rising Up." At 5 pm on Saturday, March 29th, just 3 days before the critical April 1st elections, more than 1000 residents will gather at the Rave for "Rise Up Milwaukee: Rhythm For a Reason" -an event to unify diverse areas of the city in recognition of the common need for family-friendly jobs with fair wages, where workers can work free from fear with safe and healthy working conditions. The event is organized by "The Milwaukee Unity Cam-paign," a coalition of local community organizations, labor unions, and residents working together to address the economic crisis facing Milwaukee's residents, particularly in African-American and Latino communities.   Read More »
Don Fleischman, the former GOP chairman of the Brown County Republicans heads to court on Friday, March 7th to face all the charges.
Two felonies and 4 criminal charges for his crimes against a child.

He lived across the street from a home for runaway kids, and found a cache of little boys to give beer & marijuana to, after treating them to his Xbox.

He'd expose his genitals, and when police asked if anyone was in the house.
He said no.
They found a half naked boy in his bedroom closet.
Brown County Case Number 2008CF000155

His court records show he's written worthless checks, failed to pay his taxes on time, and credit card defaults.
After his Dec 2006 arrest, he remained the GOP chair speaking for Republicans all over Northeast Wisconsin.

The Republicans protection of sex offenders is not creating the outrage it should.
Sen. Craig & Vitter remain in the US Senate.

Dozens of Republicans have been sexually assaulting people- of all ages, across this nation, and the party does nothing.

Here in Wisconsin, we can make sure the state GOP is shamed, and punished for allowing this man to operate for a year, after his arrest.
The Wisconsin GOP is protecting sex offenders.

Supposed candidate, John Gard has not made a peep about Fleischman, or the moral failures of his party.
Mr. Gard has to have had extensive contacts with Fleischman, and the largest county in the 8th Congressional district, during his 2006 race.

The former officials, within the Brown County office are not talking.
We must confront them, on their roles, in this disgusting behavior.

Keeping Fleischman in office of one year after his arrest, is unacceptable.
Let's see how the conservative Green Bay newspaper covers this crime, over the Favre retirement that has been going on for three days now.
