Wisconsin State Senator Joe Leibham(R-no accomplishments)has decided to throw his invisible undistinguished hat into the ring for the 6th Congressional seat, left open by tea party victim Tom Petri's retirement.
Leibham is running on an America sucks but I can fix it platform:
The future of the nation we all know and love is at risk, and I am excited about using my conservative leadership, personality and energy to stop this decline and restore the greatness of America
Joe Leibham has been a WI state senator since 2002 and you will have to Google hard to find an actual accomplishment. The one thing though he is known for is the fact that he forced the rest of the GOP caucus to sign secrecy agreements to shut out the general public, Wisconsin citizens, media and the full Democratic party from having any information on the redistricting of the State of Wisconsin in 2010.
H/T One Wisconsin Now, who was on top of this two years ago:
One of Leibham's constituents contacted him, complaining about secrecy agreements in elected officials. Joe Leibham in true republican Klink mode - "knew noooothink":
The problem with that is Joe Leibham lied
, he did sign the "pledge of secrecy":
For in reason, all government without the consent of the governed is the very definition of slavery.
Jonathan Swift quotes
Joe Leibham is correct when he talks about the "corrosion of our moral core" but as an elected official who signs secrecy agreements and lies to his constituents, he is one of the main contributors!
