Congressman Paul Ryan says "drill".

I had the pleasure of volunteering yesterday at the Kenosha County Dairy breakfast.

It was a great event that was super organized and a lot of fun.

The event was held at the Lois Bros. farm way out in Wheatland, just a few blocks from the school.

Rep. Samantha Kerkman gave a great speech honoring the family that had been farming for 150 years.

Even though tornadoes ripped through that area in January, the Fox river swelling and engulfing their farms back in August of last year, and again swelling right now- the farmers are determined and hard working. Still they help get food on the table for Americans across this country.

Thank you Kenosha County Dairy Farmers!

I had a brief moment at the end of the event to sit down for a quick breakfast with Congressman Paul Ryan, his lovely wife and three children. The kids were super excited about seeing the animals and the congressman was just thrilled to be able to spend time with his wife and children. I got a kick out of the Congressman's middle son digging into some super hard ice cream that finally gave way, flipping ice cream across the bill of his baseball cap and across the table towards his older sister. He giggled and dug right back into that hard ice cream looking for a bite to put into his mouth.

Being the political addict that I am, I could not help but finally ask "Hey Congressman, what are you going to do about these gas prices?"

I already knew what my Congressman believed in, but it is always nice to hear.

He gave me a quick, simple one word answer- "Drill".

The Congressman is right, we need to drill.

If you are tired of high gas prices, we need to drill.

If you are tired of foreign terrorists countries taking our money and then trying to blow us up, we need to drill for our OWN oil.

If you are tired of our jobs going overseas, we need to give Americans high paying secure jobs by drilling right here in America.

If you do not want the Chinese and the Cubans drilling for oil a few miles off of our coastline and taking our share of oil, then drill for oil now!

Support high paying American jobs and drill for oil in America NOW!

Shoot you can even help Americans with jobs by building a few oil refineries all over America.

Sign the petition and join the cause- Drill Here. Drill Now. Pay Less.

AD 66- should be an interesting race

Now, I am not a political expert. Sure, I probably know a smidgen more than your average person does, because being a political junkie does have a few benefits.

I get a kick out of studying the new candidates that will be running in this fall’s election.

Doing a little research on some of these new candidates can get quite entertaining sometimes.

One in particular has me a little curious.

Larry Zamba is running as a Democrat against Rep. Samantha Kerkman is western Kenosha County.

I guess what I find as a little startling is in doing a little research, based on his website, Mr. Zamba is a strong supporter of PETA and is anti-death penalty.

These are not normally issues that the folks in western Kenosha County embrace, but who knows.

It should be an interesting race between Mr. Zamba and Rep. Samantha Kerkman.

For years, Samantha Kerkman has been aptly representing Kenosha County. The western part of the district loves her.

Perhaps they love her so much because she is just one of them.

Samantha has lived her entire life in the western part of Kenosha County.

The residents have watched her grow up and graduate from their local high school, Wilmot. She stayed relatively close to home by attending college at UW-Whitewater. After graduation she then began working for very popular state Representative Cloyd Porter.

Samantha first ran for state Representative in 2000 and won a pretty comfortable victory with 58% of the vote. Since then, that is about as close of an election she would see. Her margin of victory has grown larger over the years. In 2006, she captured 75% of the vote.

The residents in western Kenosha have been very supportive of Samantha. They have watched her get married and begin her family.

Samantha has been their champion for almost 8 years in western Kenosha and she grows more popular each year. She have fought for them and stood by the residents for a long time.

I suppose I do not see any way possible that anyone can represent western Kenosha County better than Samantha Kerkman.

To the residents of western Kenosha County, Samantha Kerkman is one of them, she is family.

As I said, it should be an interesting race. I guess we will have to wait and see if Larry Zamba and his PETA family can turn Samantha Kerkman’s family against her.
