Celebrate John Pudner’s 60th Birthday With Greetings and Support!

John Pudner usually shares his newsletter on Sundays, but today, we’re sneaking out this email before he has a chance for a special occasion—his 60th birthday!

John has dedicated decades to championing conservative values, election integrity, and grassroots activism. Let’s honor his leadership by sending him birthday wishes and, if you’re able, a contribution of $60 (or more!).

A Milestone Birthday and a Week of Achievements

This week is more than just a birthday—it’s a celebration of John’s tireless efforts and recent victories:

  • Congressman Bryan Steil (WI-01) recognized John’s decade-long fight against ActBlue’s funneling of $16 billion in unverified contributions (see Steil’s Quote & 10-year history in this memo).
  • WIFFC launched new radio ads on Milwaukee’s gospel stations—today on John’s birthday!
  • Our canvassing teams continue their relentless outreach, knocking on thousands of doors daily, even braving a blizzard in Wausau to ensure voters are informed before the critical April 1st election.

John’s Birthday Wish: A Stronger Future for WIFFC

When asked by a donor what he wished for if money were no object, John’s response was clear:

“I want to provide long-term employment for our dedicated field directors, turn volunteer leaders into full-time event coordinators, and establish a 501(c)(4) to advocate at the Capitol. This is how the left wins—by funding year-round activism. We must do the same to make a lasting impact.”

We are exceptional at mobilizing for elections, but to truly shape Wisconsin’s future, we need sustained support beyond election cycles.

How You Can Make a Difference

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.
