On Aug. 2, I and a group of fellow believers will carry a large wooden cross through the streets of Madison. We will walk silently, not in protest of one political party or another, but against a deeper sickness — one that perverts the Gospel, sanctions cruelty, promotes violence, militarism and war, endangers our environment and wraps oppression in religious robes.
Asphalt art projects have taken off in the past decade as collaborations between cities, community groups and artists.
Has advocacy for any cause created more ill will than the push for Palestinian statehood?
There is an old joke that goes: if you speak two languages, you are bilingual. But if you only speak one language, you are an American.
Why he was likely to win and thrive as a three-term governor.
Next Wisconsin governor could be three decades younger than Tony Evers.
The new state budget wasn’t ideal but it did do two things: Direct payments will continue to go to providers for the next year and early education is finally funded with state dollars in the Wisconsin budget.
We do not think Republicans can ignore the full-page advertisement in today’s Wall Street Journal addressed to the president from the Dairy Farmers of America. The farmer-owned cooperative asserts that dairy farms need immigrants to stay in business.
We proposed three separate sets of dates in May and June to host an NLRB-supervised election. The union declined to schedule a vote.
Amid all the rancor about immigration and just who is an American these days, Wisconsin is commemorating the anniversary of when thousands of Hmong refugees came to the state.
The NGO network is the beating and fraudulently bleeding heart of a massive movement to seize all power for the progressive left.

Much-lauded Wisconsin tourism gains helped greatly by drawn-out recovery funding.
For too long, the state Legislature has played political games with our children’s education while spouting hollow rhetoric about being “pro-family” and “pro-education.” The truth is laid bare in the numbers: we are failing our students, our teachers, and our communities through willful neglect and misplaced priorities.
Trump and Wisconsin congressional Republicans have betrayed rural Wisconsin and its farmers.
Lawmakers have the opportunity to pass the “Safe Summer” legislative package, a commonsense, evidence-based set of reforms designed to save lives.
Across America, workers deal with laws built for a long-gone economy. A new “portable benefits” proposal could offer some of Wisconsin’s 400,000 independent workers a chance to close the gap.
Risser’s new book, “Forward for the People,” makes that clear as he recounts seven decades of legislative battles ranging from making contraceptives legal for unmarried adults to leading the Democrat revolt against GOP Gov. Scott Walker’s attack on union workers with his Act 10.
