The best way to deal with a bully? Send in a teacher.
For 20 years, I stood in classrooms helping students solve problems not by shouting louder, but by listening, leading, and bringing people together. Wisconsin doesn't need more political bullying. We don't need leaders who divide us or forget who they're supposed to be serving. We need someone who's spent a lifetime finding common ground, standing up for people who need a voice, and holding others accountable with respect and integrity. I've spent my career teaching that the strongest people aren't the loudest, they're the ones who lift others up. It's time to bring that same approach to Madison. Let's replace intimidation with leadership, division with collaboration, and politics with public service. Send in a teacher. --Go to Chris Able on Facebook for more information.

To address concerns some have about our efforts to reclaim our U.S. Flag please consider: Over the last decade, Republicans have seemed to claim the American flag as their symbol. Manitowoc Democratic Party, along with the national Democratic Party, is saying “NOT SO.” We are urging democrats in Manitowoc County to fly their flags proudly, especially on these days in honor of “the Republic for which it stands.” Our float and some participants in the July 4th Manitowoc Parade.
