WIFFC Organizers Werner (RNC Delegate) & Pudner (Platform) Elected at RNC Host Congressional Caucus

While the Wisconsin Faith & Freedom Coalition does not ask for votes for or against any particular candidate, our individual leaders attend partisan events to try to bring our issues to the forefront.

To that end, Saturday could not have gone better. Three friends–including the Faith and Freedom Coalition canvassing organizer–were picked as the RNC Delegates, and I was elected to the Platform Committee. Meanwhile, 2,980 readers clicked on our podcast link to Ric Grenell’s podcast appearance, and we posted one of my Fox News Radio interviews on the Arizona pro-life decision with a related (albeit lighter) clip from Seinfeld.

Cindy Werner, who organized Faith & Freedom Coalition Canvassing with voter education pieces comparing Ron Johnson and Mandella Barnes in 2022, is the best door-to-door canvassing organizer I’ve ever met in 47 years of knocking on doors.

She was elected National RNC Delegate from the host Congressional District. I’ve already looped in Cindy (right in photo) with other great door-to-door organizers for Susan B. Anthony, which has already had teams of 10 hitting doors to try to win over hearts and minds just as Crisis Pregnancy Centers do.

The other two candidates I supported and voted for (see my ballot at bottom of the blog) were wonderful friends Patti Reiman (left) and Laurie Wolf (right) who first looped me into fundraisers in the key areas north of Milwaukee when I moved from Alabama several years ago.

The Caucus also elected Yours Truly as one of two members of the Platform Committee, where I will work to advocate to keep the focus on the issues the Faith & Freedom Coalition knows should be front and center:

  1. Immigration (and related crime and fentanyl)

  2. Inflation

  3. Fighting the judicial activism that made Wisconsin’s abortion law more liberal than 45 of 47 European countries with no limits up to 22 weeks of pregnancy

  4. Protecting women’s sports (Cindy actually hosted Riley Gaines here last month)

  5. Protecting Israel

While the Caucus was electing all of us, we did not realize that a mind-boggling 2,980 people had clicked on a podcast link we sent out right before the meeting. In it, Ric Grenell not only recounts his appointment to the Trump Cabinet but describes the steps Jewish Americans need to take to keep their children safe HERE, even as Iraqi missiles were being shot at Israel.

Please listen to this great podcast.

Ric, who launched my communications efforts almost a decade ago before becoming Ambassador to Germany, talks about the day Donald Trump appointed him to the cabinet.

It is fascinating to then hear a Muslim host express sadness over a Jewish children’s school needing bullet proof windows and walls that can withstand a bombing. Attacks against Jews far outpace attacks against any other Americans based on religion (Sikhs are a distant 2nd place, followed by Muslims and Catholics.)

Below is a photo of me with Grenell during a previous visit to Milwaukee, with my winning ballot below that. And I should add that three other great friends were picked on the second ballot as alternates: Bob Spindell, Gerard Randall and Purnima Nath.

A Speech on Critical Issues

Our speakers offer deep insight into today’s most urgent policy fights and grassroots strategies that are shaping the future of center-right organizing. From election reform and voter turnout to parental rights and school choice, we bring real-world success stories and lessons learned from both the front lines and the back rooms.

Topics can include how we’ve advanced conservative policy—even in deep-blue places like New Jersey and California—and how we’ve won more campaigns than anyone else when being outspent by more than 3-to-1. Whether it’s breaking through with Hispanic, Black, or young voters, or walking audiences through our latest wins in swing states like Wisconsin, our presentations are always data-driven and action-focused.

We cover how to stop overreaching liberal school boards and bureaucrats, and how to fight back against activist judges pushing Lawfare goals—an effort that reached its peak in attempts to prevent Americans from voting for President Trump by imprisoning, bankrupting, or removing him from the ballot through judicial activism.

We also address stopping illegal immigration that fuels human trafficking, fentanyl deaths, and violent gang activity—issues that hit close to home in communities across the country. And keeping men out of women’s sports, restrooms and even prisons.

Hear about the ground game that led to Restoration News citing our work as one of just three national success stories in the 2024 cycle link to article, with detailed quotes and strategy breakdowns.

We’re happy to tailor remarks to your audience—whether it’s a policy group, church leaders, campaign volunteers, or national funders. Past talks range from a 2017 Silicon Valley session with tech executives (back when Elon Musk was just the 20th richest man in America) to getting powerful candidate comparisons into the hands of thousands of targeted voters at just $1 per voter reached—five times more efficient than typical commercial efforts.

Let us know if you want a deep dive on winning over lawmakers after the campaign ends, how to run an effective church outreach push, or what’s working with third-generation canvassers in swing counties across America—or ask us to go deeper into one of the past issues covered in any of the dozens of headlines from past media appearances and speeches written about at wisconsinffc.com.

 Q&A on topics like parental rights, limited government, election reform, and the future of center-right organizing. including why Restoration News featured WIFFC as one of 3 success stories showing the path to conservative victory.

Don’t Fund Noise. Fund Movement.

Your Donation Can Change Conservative Turnout for Years to Come

A permanent campaign requires permanent commitment. Your investment today builds the foundation for victory tomorrow.

TV ads disappear in 30 seconds. Field operations create voters for life.

WIFFC proved it in a pilot in Ashland County—delivering a 10-point conservative swing by investing in year-round grassroots organizing.

For major donors, a $50,000 sponsors a field director:

 Builds trusted church-to-voter networks

 Trains local, faith-driven volunteers

 Drives voter engagement in overlooked areas

 Outperforms million-dollar ad blitzes at a fraction of the cost

For smaller donors, a targeted voter is reached for every $1 given; one-fifth the cost of paid canvassing operations. $500 = putting turnout lit in the hands of 500 more conservative voters who too often stay home in close election races.

Don’t fund noise. Fund movement.

Every day we wait, the other side builds.
