TIMES THAT TEST OUR FAITH
 "These are the times that test our mettle. Better said, these are the times that test our faith. I suspect I’m not much different from maybe millions of Americans in my reaction to the coronavirus pandemic. It’s kind of surreal walking into usually well-stocked stores and finding various aisles absolutely empty. Having church via livestream this past weekend was more than a little different. And we have the constant news updates—not just from media outlets but from banks and stores and more as schools are closed, events cancelled or postponed and places of businesses curtail hours and the number of people allowed.
"Adding to the unreal atmosphere, we have President Trump declaring this past Sunday as a National Day of Prayer. To the best of my recollection, it’s been since 2001 that we’ve had a president declare a day of prayer for a national emergency. I hope churches and individual Christians did as our church and took this declaration to heart."

Justice Daniel Kelly Flies Solo at Candidate Forum
 On Monday, March 16, Wisconsin Family Council (WFC) and DaySpring Church hosted, for the first time ever, the Wisconsin Supreme Court Candidate Forum at DaySpring Church in Pewaukee. Candidates invited were Justice Daniel Kelly and Jill Karofsky. Karofsky did not attend the forum and did not respond to any of our invitation efforts.
On Tuesday, April 7, 2020, Wisconsin has a critical Supreme Court election. As part of our organization's attempt to do our best to engage with Wisconsin families about issues of great importance in The Badger State, we provided this candidate forum so you, as a voter, could take advantage of this opportunity to hear the candidates' views on the role of the court, the upcoming election, their qualifications and more. Due to precautions stemming from the Coronavirus and in consideration of the Governor’s request that there be no events with over 50 people gathered (at that time), we were not able to allow the general public to attend this event. Instead, we made it available via our Facebook as a "live" event and our media host, VCY America, aired the event live via radio and also video recorded the Candidate Forum to be watched at your convenience HERE.
We extend our gratitude to our panelists, Daniel Reehoff of DaySpring Church and Jim Schneider, Executive Director of VCY America, as well as our media host, VCY America. We also thank Justice Daniel Kelly for his attendance and time spent discussing his judicial philosophy and responding to numerous questions from our panelists. Justice Kelly's wife Elisa accompanied him to the forum.

EARLY VOTING Now Taking Place Across Wisconsin
DID YOU KNOW? You don’t have to wait until April 7 to vote! Some municipalities in Wisconsin began early in-person voting this week, and the rest will begin early in-person voting next Monday. To find details for your early voting polling location, click HERE. You will need to call your municipal clerk to find out what days and hours early in-person voting is available.
 Not registered to vote? The deadline to register online or by mail has passed. You can still register to vote, but you will have to do so in-person at your polling place. Locate your polling place HERE.
The deadline to request an absentee ballot is April 2. However, we highly recommend you request your absentee ballot no later than March 27, if you plan to return it to your municipal clerk via the mail, as it must be received by 8 p.m. on April 7. To request an absentee ballot, CLICK HERE.
In the event you’re unable to make it to the polls on election day, early in-person or absentee ballot voting is the best way to make sure your vote counts.
We urge you to create a plan to vote that best accommodates your individual situation.

The Multiplied Power of One—in Hudson
 A fearless Hudson, Wisconsin pro-family group staged a bold preemptive action. They forced their local library board to enact a strong new policy that would make it nearly impossible for Drag Queen Story Hour to come to their public library.
Last summer, citizens from the St. Croix Valley noticed that "drag queen" events were happening in several public libraries in the area. They became very concerned that it would soon spread to towns like theirs.
READ MORE HERE
Julaine Appling, WFC president, says, "Way to go, Hudson! This is how the multiplied power of one works. When one citizen gets involved and helps another citizen who in turn engages someone else, incredible things can happen. Keeping these unwholesome and brainwashing events out of public libraries ought to be happening in every community in our state. Hudson has given everyone a great example to follow."
