Reggie was the GBP's most famous conservative..
Reggie lost millions of dollars when CBS dumped him as sportscaster Nike, Campbell's Soup, and others dropped his commercial (I think Brett got dropped as well as he and Reg did a soup comerical together)...Brett got a big break in "What About Mary"
Various homosexual and lesbian groups united and went after Reg with a vengeance after Reggie spoke in front of the Wi. state legislature and told them 'homosexuality was a life style choice and not a race'
Though he no longer resides here...Reggie White will always be one of Wisconsin's greatest conservatives..and one of our greatest Americans ...
He stood on God's word though it cost him millions of dollars...and took him out of the limelight.

God bless Reggie White. I remember hearing that speech and then just sitting back and waiting for the explosion to happen.
