By far the biggest political news of the week, and maybe even the last several months, was the victory of Scott Brown. To have predicted one year ago after the Obama wave hit the political scene that a Republican would have won in Massachusetts would have been crazy.
Well, lightning struck the political landscape and it is our job now to continue the momentum through the summer and on into the November elections. I have been doing what Scott Brown did for over a year now, and I have witnessed the same energy and commitment right here in the 8th District. People are angry and fearful of where their country is headed and they want to do something about it.

For our campaign, the Tea Party we helped organize almost a year ago, before it became more popular, was early evidence of just such a purpose. Now I believe it is time to continue that momentum.
We are going to call for a Second Green Bay Tea Party for March 20th in the park next to Titletown Brewery, where the first gathering of over 1000 Partiers occured.

I believe there is more reason than ever to “Keep the Momentum Going” by showing that we are not satisfied with one Senate seat. We want the whole Washington crowd to change and start listening to us.
So put it on your calendar and start spreading the word.
We are An Army of Davids and we are just getting started.

In keeping with the campaign mission of focus on the voters, the issues and the mission at hand, Marc has secured the support of Shawano County Sheriff Randall Wright, Marinette County Sheriff James Kanikula, and Door County Sheriff Terry Vogel in his race for the 8th Congressional seat in Wisconsin.

“I believe that Marc will take seriously ‘the pulse of his constituents’ and has the experience, knowledge, commitment, and integrity to best represent the residents of Marinette County and the 8th Congressional District in Washington,”

said Kanikula. Sheriff Wright agreed,

“I believe Marc Savard will listen to, and work for the residents of Shawano County. With 8 years of experience in county government, he understands the concerns and challenges law enforcement officers face across the 8th district.”

Sheriff Vogel is closely familiar with Savard’s work and echoed Wright’s statement,

“Marc served on our Law Enforcement committee here in Door County and has a proven track record of fiscal responsibility and working hard for his constituents.”

These three endorsements are one of many results of our yearlong grassroots campaign, where Marc has traveled to many communities in the 8th district and met with sheriffs and other citizens concerned about the future of the country. “I am honored to earn the support of such exceptional public officials,” said Savard. “County Sheriffs are on the front lines every day keeping us safe and watching out for us as we lead our daily lives. Sheriff Wright, Sheriff Kanikula, and Sheriff Vogel are fine examples of hard working individuals doing their best to serve their communities and their country.”

Scott Brown and the Internet

The Farm is in hibernation. The barn will need its midwinter cleanout today seeing as the cows do not stop eating and…well, you know what. The hens are working hard every day for our customers who appreciate the quality of a fresh farm egg. My family and I certainly are spoiled by the bounty that our farm produces for us and our extended family of customers from fresh eggs to broiler chickens, grass fed beef and seasonal vegetables. It is a lot of work, but well worth it for our health and the enjoyment of our friends.

The big news of the week has got to be the incredible run US Senate candidate Scott Brown has had in Massachusettes. The evidence that the world of campaigning has changed for ever is in his campaign and ours as we make use of the greatest feat of technological achievement in the past 20 years. The Internet has revolutionized communication, and thus campaigning so positively that now all of us, you and I, have the ability to join our political process and get involved with very little money, but a large desire to speak our mind and have our voices heard.

Scott Brown’s campaign is a lesson to all of us that local elections can be national events if the message is important enough for folks to want to participate. We have had support from all over the district, and continue to build that support every day. I am so excited that Scott is doing so well, because, whether he wins or not, the power of the people is alive and well and building across this great nation. By speaking out in small ways through contributions over the internet Scott Brown’s supporters have shown how to make a difference right from their homes.

I feel that this campaign is part of that great movement sweeping across America, where regular folks have had enough of Washington’s corruption and are speaking out to get us Back to the Basics this country was founded on.

Please help us continue the fight. www.savardforcongress.com
