There is a very important election on April 5th that needs everyone's attention. It is a Supreme Court position for ten years appointment. Even if this is the only vote on your local ballot, it is of such high importance that you need to vote.
An ad running on local television by the Greater Wisconsin Committee, a progressive advocacy group, says that in 1978 Prosser refused to investigate claims concerning child molestation. One of the victims, Troy Merryfield, has asked the group to pull the ad. He also encouraged Kloppenburg to denounce it asking her to have the group pull it. Her answer was that she would do nothing about it.
Mr. Merryfield says that the ad is "offensive, inaccurate and out of context... In 1979, as a prosecutor, Prosser made a decision to not file charges against Feeney due to his concern about the emotional toll that a jury trial would have on my brother and me due to our young age at the time." Prosser was instrumental in Feeney's conviction in 2004.
We need experience sitting on our supreme court. Kloppenburg has never been a judge. She was denied judgeships three times. In 2003, she asked Gov. Doyle for appointment to the court of appeals. In 2009 she again applied for the court of appeals. And, in 2009 she applied for an open federal judgeship. According to Media Trackers, since 1990 Kloppenburg has only argued seven criminal cases in higher courts. Her career has been centered almost exclusively in environmental law.
Justice Prosser has served on the Supreme Court for twelve years where he has participated in over 900 published decisions. He served in the state assembly, as a district attorney, as an attorney/advisor for the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington D.C., and as a member of the Wisconsin Tax Appeals Commission. He is endorsed by five previous supreme court justices, seventy-seven members of the state legislature, ninety-five judges state wide, sheriffs, district attorneys, state bar presidents, Wisconsin Right to Life, Wisconsin Restaurant Association, Wisconsin Realtors Association, Wisconsin Builders Association as well as many more.
Do we want our Supreme Court to be a place for someone to start their judgeship? The decisions of this level are of such magnitude that they need the experience that Justice Prosser brings to the position. Please turn out to vote on April 5th and cast your vote for Justice David Prosser.
