Atheist Soros Funds Catholic Groups
The critical role of the Catholic Church in passing national health care reform legislation is coming under serious media scrutiny. But the story has taken a strange turn. It has now been revealed that George Soros, the billionaire hedge fund operator and well-known atheist, has been pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into "progressive" Catholic groups that are significant players in the national debates over health care and immigration.
On the surface, it would appear that Soros would be opposed to many positions of the Catholic Church. A major financial backer of the ACLU, Soros supports such causes as drug legalization, the rights of "sex workers" and felons, euthanasia, radical feminism, abortion rights, and homosexual rights. He does all of this in the name of promoting an "open society."
But a review of the records of his Open Society Institute finds that a group calling itself Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good (CACG) has received $200,000 from them over the last several years........On Saturday, November 21 and Sunday, November 22, Catholics across the country will be asked to support the CCHD with their financial offerings. Gamaliel is appealing for support, saying that it is "under attack from those with a partisan agenda to de-fund groups committed to organizing for social justice." It says: "Many Gamaliel Foundation affiliates rely on funding from CCHD to serve their communities."
But Gamaliel also relies on George Soros. His Open Society Institute provided $300,000 to the organization in 2008.

WI's Ethanol Mandate is COMING!
There are 2 bills working their way through the WI State Legislature. SB279 and AB408
These identical bills are giant and were introduced by the "nonpartisan" Joint Legislative Council in order to fly an ethanol mandate under our radar. Unelected bureaucrats would be given the authority to set mandated levels of ethanol in our fuel. Theses bureaucrats could even change the level of required ethanol blend to a point in which our "old, big-gas guzzling, clunkers" (by the way that is every car including brand new ones that aren't hybrids) couldn't run on! All to FORCE people to buy new more "fuel efficient" death trap, go carts because we must save the planet. FYI - your boat, ATV, farm tractor, lawn mover, rototiller, etc...WON'T RUN! Read below AND the attached article...
According to the Office of Energy Independence, Wisconsin ethanol production and consumption have skyrocketed in recent years — and the growth in our state biofuel market was accomplished without the need for an ethanol mandate. Although state gasoline sales have remained relatively flat throughout this decade, ethanol has bucked this trend, with sharp increases in consumption from one year to the next.
Despite this trend, legislation pending in both houses of the Legislature would set steep ethanol consumption goals, and give unelected bureaucrats the authority to establish sales mandates to reach those goals. When fully implemented, Senate Bill 279 and Assembly Bill 408 would authorize the Department of Agriculture, Trade & Consumer Protection (DATCP) to establish annual sales mandates of nearly 30% ethanol.

Gamaliel in WI
MULLING CHANGE WITH A YOUNG OBAMA IN SPRING GREEN
For the past 29 years, [John] McKnight has split his time between Chicago -- where he is a retired professor of communications studies at Northwestern University -- and a house he owns in rural Spring Green. McKnight was a co-founder of the Gamaliel Foundation in Chicago in 1969. A national training program for community organizers, the foundation initially fought to protect African-American homeowners on Chicago's west side from discrimination by banks and lenders.
It was named after a mentor of the apostle Paul from Christian scripture, which was also a point of reference for the legendary Saul Alinsky, who began community organizing in Chicago in 1938 with the Back of the Yards Community Council in the city's stockyards. McKnight remains a board member of Gamaliel, which now has about 50 affiliates in many states. Obama, the 44th president of the United States, was director of a Gamaliel affiliate called the Developing Communities Project on Chicago's south side from June 1985 to May 1988. It was during those years that Obama came to Spring Green.
