Roger Breske is an independent Senator in Madison? Since when?

Where was “independent” Roger Breske when the Democrat leadership was pulling it’s legally questionable shenanigans on the concealed carry bill? What “independent” legislation has Roger Breske introduced to level the playing field between Wisconsin’s tavern owners who provide the tabletop gambling machines “for entertainment purposes only” and the legal monopoly on gambling held by one select racial group?

What is Roger Breske doing to get the federal government to reverse the Clinton mandate to lower our standard for drunk drivers from our current .10% BAC to .08% BAC by 2004 or start to lose our share of federal highway funds? What is “independent” Roger Breske doing to allow Wisconsin’s workers to work without being forced to join a union? Why isn’t Wisconsin a right-to-work state? Has Roger Breske stood up against the state’s powerful unions? How many times has Roger Breske stood against Chuck Chvala to work for the Citizens in his 12^th Senate district, rather than the Democrats in Madison?

Roger Breske may have once been a man of principlem but his tenure in Madison has emasculated him. Unfortunately, he is not up for re-election again until November 2004. How many more times will he bend over for the Madison Democrats between now and then?
