Mary welcomes back Julaine Appling for a look at the culture from several angles. One of the best culture warriors out there, Julaine's faith and trust in Christ always shines through as she looks over the moral issues of the day in Wisconsin and across the fruited plain. Julaine helps us stay on top of the issues so that we can know how to vote and what issues take precedence in our worldview watch. Today we look at the March for Life that will take place in Madison, Wisconsin on June 14. The fight for life will not end in our lifetimes, but there are ways we can stand firm for biblical truth on this one. We take a look at a new resolution to revoke Wisconsin's constitutional amendment on marriage. The author of the bill hails it as a reversal of previous discriminatory language that "fuels hate". Of course anyone who affirms God's one-man-one-woman plan for marriage knows this is progressive mumbo jumbo that discriminates against the truth. We discuss Wisconsin's voucher plan changes and much more as we look at life, liberty and God's revealed plan for how a moral society functions best.

Julaine Appling is president of Wisconsin Faithful and President Emeritus of Wisconsin Family Council.On April 1st, Wisconsin will be holding a critical Supreme Court election. As Jim demonstrated by presenting several headlines, this election will not only affect Wisconsin, but every state in the nation. Why is that? Julaine responded to that question by noting that in 2023, the Wisconsin Supreme Court flipped from 4-3 conservative to 4-3 liberal with the election of Janet Protasiewicz. So since August 1st of 2023, the court has been acting in a liberal, judicial activist type of mode.Now we have the April election coming up where Brad Schimel is facing off against Susan Crawford in what amounts to the filling of an open seat as liberal justice Ann Walsh Bradley has decided not to seek reelection. This means that if Schimel wins, the court reverts back to 4-3 conservative and if Crawford wins, it remains 4-3 liberal.Julaine believes the reason for the national attention is that liberals like what they've been able to accomplish with this court. One item concerns the redrawing of the state legislative maps in a way that favors Democrats. Also, Julaine indicated that there's a lawsuit waiting to be filed that would challenge the legality of Wisconsin's congressional maps.If you look at the U.S. House of Representatives, Republicans have only a 4 vote majority (218-214) with 3 vacant seats. So Democrats believe if they can get the current Wisconsin Supreme Court to stay liberal, and file a lawsuit challenging the legality of our constitutional maps forcing new ones that favor liberals, that could flip at least two seats.

Mary welcomes Julaine Appling back to the podcast to talk about citizenry at the local level. With a plethora of headlines of late related to a federal swamp draining of immense proportions, what is going on in the states? While we focus a lot on Wisconsin in these programs, many states have or will have to deal with similar issues. Today we look at how Governor Evers continues to change the landscape here with his attempts to move away from a representative form of government, something every blue state citizen should be concerned about. Then we look at "baby boxes" and this much-needed pro-life move to protect newborns. Also on the docket, "demographic winter" - what it means when a generation chooses pursuit of self to the exclusion of raising the next generation. Finally, a look at 2025 elections, because, those annoying ads are back already! Julaine serves Wisconsin Family Council as president emeritus. Wisconsin Family Council, organized in 1986, is the only organization in Wisconsin dedicated to the preservation and promotion of the natural family. Happy National Marriage Week!

Julaine Appling is back with us today to discuss the 2nd half of 2024, pertaining to pro-life and polling issues that affect not just Wisconsin but are intertwined with state and national issues. We talk about the upcoming Wisconsin primary in August, and the importance of being educated about what the candidates stand for; also understanding the referenda being voted upon. These can be especially difficult to navigate if they are worded in a convoluted way. We also look at changes to the Wisconsin Constitution regarding enshrining abortion rights into this document. Is the state Supreme Court legislating instead of interpreting the law? How can that not be a power play? Another issue with the state court is how a governor might look at his role in spending federal funding, ie, Covid monies distributed to Wisconsin, in particular. Also on the podcast we look at global demographics that continue to plunge, and the what, why and how.

Mary Danielsen talks to Julaine Appling of Wisconsin Family Council about a variety of issues that affect us all socially and morally. School Choice is one of the hot-button issues we will talk about because it is controversial only in that public school advocates claim it takes resources from the schools when actually it benefits overcrowded public schools. We will also talk about National Marriage Week and how that institution is the bedrock of a stable society. Religious Freedom, abortion laws in Wisconsin, and a hate-filled rant by a Wisconsin Imam round out a varied hour of talk.

Weingarten is president of the 2nd largest teachers' union in the nation (American Federation of Teachers). Also on the docket today is the school choice lawsuit in Wisconsin; an update on the firebombing of the WFC's office in Madison 18 months ago; the Ohio abortion referendum of November, and the satanic "holiday" tree in Ashwaubenon.

Julaine Appling is the president of Wisconsin Family Action, a group that advocates for marriage, family, life and liberty.--Mother's Day is a time to honor mothers but such was not the case this year in Madison, Wisconsin, as a clandestine, leftist anarchist group attacked the offices of Wisconsin Family Action, an organization that believes in the sanctity of human life. - -Last week Crosstalk reported on the draft leak from the Supreme Court indicating that a reversal of Roe v. Wade is on the way. The attack in Madison is yet another example of the hate and intolerance against humanity of those whose worldview is opposed to such a reversal. --Should anyone be surprised that those committed to violence against innocent, unborn children in the womb would then go on to use firebombs, vandalism, destruction and threats against those who stand for the sanctity of life---This is your opportunity to hear Julaine present specific details on this case that you likely won't hear from the mainstream media.
