Free speech is under attack.  It’s often targeted by those on the “left” who want to gag the speech of those who espouse conservative values or any information that the “left” doesn’t want released for public consumption.  This takes place on numerous fronts and one of them involves speaking out on the issue of elections.  

This has resulted in the recent filing of a lawsuit in Green Bay, Wisconsin.  The case is known as Wisconsin Family Action v. Federal Elections Commission.

Joining Jim to discuss this lawsuit were two guests.  The first was Michael Dean.  Michael is an attorney with First Freedoms Foundation, a public interest law foundation defending historic civil liberties and constitutional principles through litigation and education.

Also part of the discussion was Julaine Appling, president of Wisconsin Family Action.

Michael described how special interest groups (such as Wisconsin Family Action) organize such lawsuits for a particular purpose.  In this case a left-leaning group in Washington known as Citizens for Responsibility & Ethics in Washington (CREW) were looking for a specific result.  

The D.C. Circuit had the case of CREW v. The Federal Elections Commission (F.E.C.) before them.  The case grew out of their lawsuit to force the F.E.C. to prosecute

a group known as Crossroads, a 501(c)4 organization which is the same IRS classification held by Wisconsin Family Action.  It was a high-profile case because it was going after an organization on the “right”.

In this case we’re dealing with the Federal Election Campaign Act.  So when Julaine wanted her organization to become involved with federal elections, it meant looking at federal law and at that time the CREW case decision had just been released.

At this point in the broadcast, Michael described the legal nuances concerning contributions vs. expenditures and how this plays out under the statute that’s being considered.  Under the statute, an organization like Wisconsin Family Action that makes over $250 per year in expenditures (such as on advertising advocating for or against a federal candidate), must disclose all the contributions, including the identities of the contributors names, etc. to the F.E.C.  These would be individuals who contributed $200 or more to the organization in any year.

Review this program and you’ll learn much more from Jim, Michael and Julaine and later in the program you’ll hear what listeners had to say as well.

In 2016, WVW-TV began to urge our radio and television audience to prepare for increasingly uncertain times such as:

• disrupted “just in time” inventory supply chains
• massive increase in inflation
• biological warfare and terrorism
• an EMP attack from China, Russia, Iran, or North Korea
• A cyber attack on our critical infrastructure, including power-grid, water utilities and/or the banking industry

Then, 2020 happened with the biological attack on America by Communist China through Covid-19. Finding hamburger meat, a can of soup, pasta, a can of tuna, and other basics became shockingly challenging.

Those who had mocked our organization for calling on our audience to prepare with an emergency food supply were no longer laughing at us. In fact, some of them began to order emergency food from our store.

I have enjoyed Mountain House food on camping trips going back to when I was in high school. I purchased 6 months of food for 5 people in April of 2013 for my family. Three and a half years later, Worldview Weekend became a distributor for Mountain House because we personally know and testify to the quality of the food and understand the need for families to have "food insurance" in an increasingly dangerous world.

Please go to www.wvwtv.com/store

 to place your order while we have the inventory or go directly to this link: https://shop.worldviewweekend.com/products/cat/14841

Your purchase of emergency, freeze dried food will not only support your family, but you will also be supporting the continuation of WVW Broadcast Network and all our free radio and television programs through your purchase.
