The Wisconsin 9/12 Project works both independently and in conjunction with other grassroots groups in the Madison area and throughout the state in order to achieve:

• Limited government
  
• Reduced government spending
  
• Lower taxes
  
• The preservation and restoration of constitutional freedoms
  

As a non-partisan group, we have made a conscious decision not to endorse any candidate. However, we do collect information on candidates. We post such data on this site and/or circulate it elsewhere as a service to voters. Members are free to make their own choices about candidates. In fact, we strongly encourage members, as individuals, to seek out and wholeheartedly support those candidates who, in their judgment, share the above-listed aims.

A few of the recent events and issues on which the Wisconsin 9/12 Project has focused its energies include:

• "While You Were Out" - Citizens from 14 Wisconsin counties visited the State Capitol Building during a legislative break to deliver messages for their state and federal legislators.
  
• Checking the power of Regional Transit Authorities - These unelected, unaccountable bodies hold power to tax, borrow, and wrest property from private citizens in Dane County and elsewhere in the state.
  
• Shoreland Zoning - This unconstitutional plan would place unconstitutional controls on private property, devalue property values, and raise property taxes in Dane County and elsewhere in the state.
  
• The Health-Care Freedom Act - This Draft legislation, which now has bipartisan support in the legislature, would amend our state constitution to exempt Wisconsin from having to enforce any federally mandated health care scheme
  
• Candidate forums - Ongoing events that allow citizens an opportunity to vet local, state, and federal candidates.
  
• Preparations for the 2010 Tax Day Tea Party - In process.
