When it come to politics a local product is not always the right choice

This statement is perfectly illustrated in the Wisconsin attorney General race. JB Van Hollen is the leading republican candidate running for AG. Because I live in his neck of the woods I see a lot of his yard signs scattered across the area. I wonder how many
of his "supporters" support him because of his extreme right wing views or because he's a local boy. However, his views are way out of line with the progressive political views and the casual laid back attitude of the northwoods. For example he strongly supports photo ID's for voting and even suggests having security patrol polling stations. He has compared abortion to homicide. He's very opposed to any kind of gay rights. And perhaps his most famous display of paranoia is his obsession with terrorism. He's the guy who claimed that terrorists were training in Wisconsin. When questioned about this statement he provided no evidence, but mentioned the Project ELF vandalism and the pipe bombs found downstate. His website even contains flashing images of the World Trade Center collapsing. JB Van Hollen is out of touch with the real problems that Wisconsin faces. I'm calling on all of the people of Wisconsin, especially my peers up north, to take a closer look at what Van Hollen stands for. It's much worse to have a local politician in a high position whose actions we will be ashamed of, than not to have a local politician there at all.
