Wisconsin Democratic Party leaders do have the political courage to take a principled stand on an unpopular social issue. Mayor Cieslewicz Proclaims and Governor Doyle Proclaims that on May 11, 2005 the first ever Root Canal Appreciation Day will be celebrated in Madison, Wisconsin. Make no mistake about it, Mayor Dave and the Governor care about every little detail of your health because they want what is good for you.
WHEREAS, better root canals will allow many more Wisconsin and U.S. residents to maintain healthy mouths, saving our citizens millions of teeth, and additionally, millions of dollars; andPay no attention to the saving "millions of dollars" component of their concern, they clearly want what is good for you as an individual. I’m not sure the same concern exists about what is good for the State. This is the same Governor who intends to again veto Voter ID Legislation because it requires better proof of eligibility prior to individuals voting. What the Democrats will not admit, perhaps can not admit, is that an election is a measurement of the will of the people and accuracy is the most important aspect of any measurement. The system in place now is like asking voters how may teeth they have and accepting the answer without actually looking in their mouth.
WHEREAS, the time has now come to finally acknowledge the importance and worth of root canal treatment;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIM DOYLE, Governor of the State of Wisconsin do hereby proclaim May 11, 2005 ROOT CANAL APPRECIATION DAY in the State of Wisconsin, and commend this observance to all citizens.
