Rebecca Cooke - "I do support Iron Dome funding..."

Don't be fooled by the framing of this statement. Yes, the Iron Dome provides protection. It provides protection from retaliation for the human rights atrocities and war crimes Israel commits in the region. The Iron Dome is the shield that emboldens the Netanyahu government.

Funding the Iron Dome is not just complacency, but participation in a genocide.

The full forum can be found here, with the Israel discussion starting at roughly 01:03:00

"Of the three candidates in this race, I feel one of them is wrong for the Third District of Wisconsin and wrong for the country...I will be supporting Emily Berge from here all the way through November, where she will take this seat from Van Orden."

The Ec homeless problem

I have no problem with homeless people I have a problem when they start being disgusting and rude yesterday, I was driving in downtown getting eggrolls plus I drove past the homeless shelter. The parking lot right across from me had mountains of trash on top of this car and around this car people tweaking out yelling and screaming so I roll down my window and said clean up this mess. Look what you’re doing to our town. She proceeds to tell me you clean it up then I drove past Owen Park and saw more homeless people drinking with their shirts off being gross. I remember I used to play in that park when I was a kid I would never take a kid there the needles the garbage we need to start helping these people and not enable them. This is what Eau Claire does it doesn’t help it enables.

Emily Berge Graciously Accepts Endorsement of Rodney Rave

I want to thank Rodney for his hard work for Wisconsinites, both serving in the Ho-Chunk Legislature and in his campaign for Congress.

Rodney brought a much needed perspective and I will always consider his guiding principle as sound advice: “Make decisions with the next seven generations in mind.”

I enjoyed getting to know Rodney over the last several months and I have deep respect for his dedication to getting out there and meeting the people of the Third where they are at.

Jobs out here offering $13-14/hr

I have employment but still recieve emails from Indeed and some of these job postings are offering positions for $13/hour. Some even less! How do employers feel good about themselves paying wages this low?

Using the living wage calculator from MIT shows that a living wage for a single adult working full time with no dependents in Eau Claire is $22.23/hour. How many of y'all are making that in Eau Claire? Less? More?
