Yes AB439 Taxpayer Money for Professional Baseball (passed 69 to 27 on 10/17/2023). Would appropriate $411,500,000 in state and local funds through FY 2045-46, along with $50,000,000 in loans, for improvements to the Milwaukee Brewers baseball stadium. Estimated Cost Per Household: $171 AB439 would appropriate $411,500,000 in state and local funds from FY 2023-24 to FY 2045-46, along with $50,000,000 in loans, for improvements to the Milwaukee Brewers baseball stadium. There is no provision in the Wisconsin Constitution that authorizes either the creation of ‘special districts’ for Major League Baseball teams or the state and local subsidizing of professional sports. Privately-owned billion-dollar organizations, such as the Milwaukee Brewers, should be expected to pay for their own facilities, which they can more than afford. Forcing the people of Wisconsin to furnish proliferate amounts of taxpayer money to fund crony, corporate-sponsored spending bills violates their individual liberties guaranteed by the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

The Assembly passed AB439 on October 17, 2023, by a vote of 69 to 27.

Yes AB394 'Free' Driver Education for Low-Income Residents (passed with near-unanimous consent on 10/17/2023). Establishes a driver education grant program for low-income individuals who satisfy the “income eligibility criteria for a free or reduced-price meal in the federal school lunch program.” AB394 establishes a driver education grant program for low-income individuals, including resident aliens and temporary visitors, who satisfy the “income eligibility criteria for a free or reduced-price meal in the federal school lunch program.” Driver education is not the role of government—rather, it is the responsibility of individual student-drivers and course instructors. Wisconsin has absolutely no duty to discriminatorily and unjustly provide “eligible” low-income residents, who have little or no tax liability, with government funds so that they may obtain a driver license at the expense of hard-working citizens.

Yes AB465 Prohibiting Sex Mutilation Against Children (passed 63 to 34 on 10/12/2023). Prohibits “gender transition medical intervention” for individuals under 18 years of age. AB465 prohibits “gender transition medical intervention” for individuals under 18 years of age. Sex mutilation violates the unalienable right to life and limb of minor children, while absurdly attempting to erase biological sex with fictional “gender” constructs. According to the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the States have a duty to protect the humanity of all people—male and female—who, as the Declaration of Independence affirms, are created by God and form the basis of individual and family self-government.

Yes AB176 Easy Access to 'Morning-After' Pills (passed 82 to 11 on 6/21/2023). Would permit a pharmacist to dispense “self-administered oral hormonal contraceptives” without a prescription from a physician or other medical professional. AB176 would permit a pharmacist to dispense “self-administered oral hormonal contraceptives” without a prescription from a physician or other medical professional. Hormonal birth control drugs, particularly high-dose prescription-only ‘morning-after’ pills, can and do prevent uterine implantation of developing pre-born children, causing them to function not only as “contraceptives,” but also as abortifacients, thereby resulting in ‘silent abortions.’ Given that the care of human life—not its destruction—is the greatest responsibility of government, Wisconsin should act to forbid all methods of abortion and secure the right to life for every pre-born child. The right to life is the most fundamental, God-given, and unalienable right asserted in the Declaration of Independence and protected by the Fifth and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

Yes AB146 Preventing Local "Guaranteed Income" Programs (passed 60 to 34 on 4/25/2023). Prevents political subdivisions from making expenditures “for the purpose of making payments to individuals under a guaranteed income program.” AB146 prevents political subdivisions from making expenditures “for the purpose of making payments to individuals under a guaranteed income program.” The concept of a “guaranteed income” (i.e., ‘universal basic income’) relies on the immoral and anti-constitutional act of government-imposed theft disguised as taxation, which takes from citizens the wages they have rightfully earned. This manifestly socialist wealth-redistribution scheme violates both the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment, which were intended to protect against undue deprivation or disparagement of a person’s “property” and provide “equal protection of the laws” for all Americans.

Yes AB51 Illegal Aliens as Law Enforcement Officers (passed with near-unanimous consent on 3/22/2023). Would allow recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program to become law enforcement officers. AB51 would allow recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program to become law enforcement officers. Persons who enter the United States illegally—which, by definition, is a crime—ought not to be permitted sanctuary or residency in Wisconsin, let alone be considered eligible for appointment as local police officers and deputy sheriffs. Rather than pursue a blatantly unconstitutional and anti-American policy that erodes both the rule of law and the value of citizenship, Wisconsin should use its powers reserved under the U.S. Constitution’s 10th Amendment to end the crisis of illegal migration and provide for the public safety.
