Member Editorial: Vote for Ed Fallone and Tony Evers
WE NEED A REST FROM POLITICS.
We hear that lament. We feel this weariness of heavy partisan battles in Wisconsin during the last two years. But whenever we give in to our tiredness, cynicism and resignation; our democratic society suffers.
So an urgent request - Vote in the April 2 election for the two statewide nonpartisan elective offices.
There are two overriding reasons to vote April 2.
First: Those who are indifferent to the growing gap in wealth between the richest Americans and the average citizen will not sit this election out. THEY WILL spend their money to get out the vote to defend their economic power..
If you and I as average citizens give up and stay home the great power of money in politics will continue to dominate and influence elections, legislation and public policy.
The second reason: We should honor and reward candidates who are dedicated to nonpartisanship and are not ideological in their approach to their office .
Ed Fallone, candidate for Supreme Court Justice, will work to restore civility and balance to the Wisconsin Supreme Court that sorely needs healing. His knowledge and dedication to constitutional law will serve the interests of all Wisconsin citizens.
Tony Evers, the present Superintendent of Public Instruction, has proven his leadership as a champion of public education and one dedicated to working with all segments of the public. The quality of our public education system is one of the great strengths of Wisconsin and the best guarantee of an upward mobility pathway for our youth.
Your vote does make a difference. Take time out Tuesday April 2 to vote for Ed Fallone and Tony Evers.

Member Editorial: Tony Evers for State Superintendent of Public Instruction
To the Editor:
Ahh! It is spring in Wisconsin and that means election time--again! We all know who we are going to vote for in the local elections, but then we are faced with the great unknown. Who should get our vote for the State Superintendent of Schools? The incumbent, Tony Evers, has done an outstanding job and deserves to be reelected. Tony Evers has distinguished himself as a leader in Wisconsin education during his entire 36 year career. He is a Wisconsin native, married for 41 years with three grown children. He earned his education credentials at UW-Madison and his doctorate in Education in 1986. He is well known in every corner of the state, and even the governor, whose budget Tony opposed, has praised his job performance.
Evers has been instrumental in bringing $22.7 million in federal grants for innovative learning and data collection programs impacting early childhood education. He fought the governor's agenda to remove $1,6 billion in funding from public schools in Wisconsin's last biennium and is currently opposed to the governor's newest budget proposals for education. Tony has built trust with the governor and both parties in the the state legislature. He will work to give Wisconsin the best education system possible. Remember Tony Evers on April 2.

Fallone
Will End Infighting
I
recently had the pleasure of meeting and hearing Ed Fallone speak on his
candidacy for a 10-year term on the Wisconsin State Supreme Court. The election
for this office will be held statewide on April 2nd. After hearing
Ed’s message and conversing with him, I’m convinced he is the right person to
fill that seat.
Ed
Fallone has spent his lifetime fighting to ensure fairness in our court
systems. As a law professor for almost 20 years at Marquette University Law
School teaching Constitutional, Corporate and Criminal Law, Ed is a leading
scholar on our legal system. During the past 25 years Ed has also maintained a
viable law practice in both our federal and state courts. He is uniquely
qualified to serve on Wisconsin’s highest court.
While
speaking with Ed I became keenly aware that his position on our state’s Supreme
Court will return civility and dignity to the institution. His goal on the
court is to re-establish the Wisconsin Supreme Court to its historic reputation
as an institution that serves the people of Wisconsin, not just the special
money interests. Ed will work to keep the court free from special interests,
free of politics and to end the infighting. This is refreshing news considering
the recent history of the court.
Ed
and his wife live in Whitefish Bay with their two children. He is a community
leader who has worked tirelessly to promote family values, education and to
broaden access to our legal system for everyone.
Join
with me on April 2nd and vote for Ed Fallone for Justice on the
Wisconsin Supreme Court. Help restore Wisconsin values to our legal system and
protect our state’s future.

Statement by the President on International Women’s Day | The White House
On International Women’s Day we celebrate the many milestones on the road to gender equality, and recommit ourselves to fight for the rights and opportunities of women and girls around the world.
Empowering women isn’t just the right thing to do – it’s the smart thing to do. When women succeed, nations are more safe, more secure, and more prosperous. Over the last year, we’ve seen women and girls inspiring communities and entire countries to stand up for freedom and justice, and I’m proud of my Administration’s efforts to promote gender equality worldwide.
As a nation, we’ve launched new efforts to promote women’s economic empowerment and political participation, to prevent and respond to gender-based violence, and to strengthen our commitment to helping more women participate in peacebuilding and conflict resolution. We are promoting food security initiatives that recognize the rights and needs of women farmers, and ensuring that women and girls are at the center of global health programs. And we will continue to focus on empowering women and girls at home and abroad.
We’ve also worked with a wide range of partners – from the United Nations and civil society groups to the private sector – to advance this important agenda. Because when it comes to creating a world in which our sons and daughters can reach their potential, we each have a role to play. And we can make even more progress together.
