Hi, my name is Jay Schroeder I'm running for Wisconsin's Secretary of State. I've been going around the state and part of my campaign is to educating the voters of my opponent, Mr. La Follette, what he's done and what I want to do for the state of Wisconsin. Four year ago there was an inauguration.
Mr. La Follette wasn't there. Some were wondering why? What he was doing is touring the U.S.
like he usually does once a year staying in three or four star hotels but the interesting thing or sad thing is he uses the children's book fund that is meant for libraries to go on his elaborate trips. That's not right and that's not what our taxpayers of the state of Wisconsin expect us to do. Another issue that I have been researched and found about the position which motives me to educate the people is Mr. La Follette's been estimated that his pension would be $280,000 a year.
That's $23,000 a month. When I brought that up in a newspaper article, he said it was disgusting that I would bring up something like that. No, what's disgusting is to think you're entitled to it and he "said it was his money." Well he forgets that the Wisconsin taxpayers contributed to the overwhelming majority to that. So those are the reasons we need to bring that up and issues like that.
He also has written a book "Wisconsin Survival Handbook." And it talks about far out things like eliminating dishwashers, dish detergent, curling irons and he doesn't like toothpicks for whatever reason.

I can't understand. But what concerns me most about far-off book that he's written is on page 73, it says once you have two children you need to be sterilized. Now that makes me sad and angry being the fifth of five children. Mr.
La Follette's book way I would never have been born. Now those are the issues I bring up. I'd like to discuss them with him. The day after the primary vote, I issued him a private message on Facebook.
Never heard. And then I put another item publicly saying on the Facebook thread of his that I'd look forward to his response for a debate. You know, Mr. La Follette deleted the request for debates off his page.
Now we need to get out of Dane County in all of Wisconsin. I wanted to debate in Green Bay, Eau Claire, Eagle River and Waukesha. That's what we need. But what those things demonstrate and what I learned in getting the 2,000 signatures is Independents, Democrats and Republicans all look for term limits for this position.
Mr. La Follette's been in office for 40 years. He did a WisconsinEye interview and in that he even said he wanted -- thought he was only in for 25 years. Utterly amazing.
Out of touch. Wanting to spend money. Thinks he's entitled to $2.1 million of a pension. He's like Bernie Sanders would call the 1%ers.
Now what I want to do with this position is bring it out of hibernation. The number one goal is voter fraud elimination. In 2016, there was 4,000 cases. What that is is same-day voter registration.
Cards are sent out and then the cards come back. 4,000 of them came back "no such name or address." Now those things need to be changed, updated and we need to have term limits. It's important. That's what the people want.
They expect out of our elected officials. We are to debate 'em. We are to bring 'em up to the people. I really enjoy running for this office, going around the state.
All people want is for their government to function. For elected officials to actually work to get a paycheck and not hide in Dane County. Or it's like what Lee Dreyfus used to say, "Madison is 23 miles surrounded by reality." And what's most important is to get out the vote. I would appreciate each and every one of your votes on November 6th.
Thank you for your time. On Wisconsin.
