Take Action! Wisconsin governor gets rid of capitol 'Christmas' tree
American Family Association ^ | 11/03/2019 | AFA Staff

A battle is brewing in Wisconsin and you can weigh in with other Americans to stop this War on Christmas Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers does not like a Christmas tree being called a Christmas tree. So he is changing it. According to a Washington Post article, Gov. Evers has said the Christmas tree in the Capitol rotunda, as of this year, will be called a "holiday" tree.

Thus the War on Christmas continues. Those like Gov. Evers don't like the fact that the Christmas tree is identified with the Christian faith.

Republican Scott Fitzgerald, the state Senate majority leader and a 2020 congressional candidate, tweeted that Evers' move was "PC garbage. It's a Christmas Tree."

Until he decorates a fir tree for Halloween and the 4th of July, then it’s a Christmas tree.

Yes, the cities did, as usual. I drove through quite a bit of rural Wisconsin before the election, and there were so many Walker signs I thought for sure he would win. And, I did send an email, though I’m sure the smug aides will just hit delete.

Muzzies moving into Wisconsin. That’ll make a governor remove a Christmas tree faster than 10 feminazis dancing around the state capital.

MI has the same problem, they elected a flaming communist Gov because the conservatives didn’t get off their ass to vote!

“On the bright side we have a president who is proud to say it.”

Funny you should mention that. I remember in the lead up to the 2016 election, not long before election day, Trump was at a huge rally and said, “And when I’m President we’re going to start calling it Christmas again!” I love the Christmas season and that really caught my attention. I was proud to vote for him then, and I’ll be proud to vote for him again in 2020.

Leftists want nothing more than a bland, totalitarian existence in which they control every aspect of our lives. The government is their god.

He’s just trying to go back to the way it originally was, as described in Jeremiah 10:1-5

Here’s a suggestion: get local church members to stand around the tree singing Christmas carols all times of the day.

Does the concept of a "sanctuary city" answer your question?

Defined: a city whose municipal laws tend to protect undocumented immigrants from deportation or prosecution, despite federal immigration law.

Apparently, prosperity wasn’t enough for Wisconsin. Did I miss something or is Christmas no longer a national holiday? Pretty sure it is....so the tree is a Christmas tree. It stands there for no other reason, period!

If there is anything that liberals are good at, it is the airing of grievances. The feats of strength, not so much.

The vote was taken and ‘holiday tree’ lost. Christmas Tree is official - except in Ever’s office or is that Skelator’s office?
