82nd Assembly District Tea Party/Patriot Groups Disappointed by Rep. Jeff Stone’s
Unwillingness to Confirm Debate

Milwaukee, WI – The Wisconsin GrandSons of Liberty and the Greendale Tea Party express
their dismay that Rep. Jeff Stone has apparently backed out of a debate with Rep. Stone’s
challenger, Larry Gamble, scheduled for Saturday, September 11th, at Root River Lanes starting
at 3:00 pm. Despite working with Rep. Stone to accommodate his schedule and his demands, he
has not returned numerous phone calls and the debate is now two days away, making it difficult
to proceed without his confirmation.

We believe that the voters of the 82nd Assembly District deserve to be able to hear both
candidates expound on their positions on the issues and also to hear Rep. Stone explain his
support of the RTAs and his co-sponsorship of AJR-96, which would strip the voters of the right
to vote for Wisconsin Supreme Court Justices. We are interested in Jeff Stone’s reasons for
failing to support SJR-62, which would have amended the state constitution to protect
Wisconsinites’ right to choice in healthcare and also the bill to provide reform of unelected
boards.

Initially, Rep. Stone stated that he would not participate in a debate sponsored by tea parties and
later agreed to the debate if the Republican Party would co-sponsor the event. Discussions with
the party confirmed their acceptance and support of the debate although Rep. Stone has not
returned any calls to finalize the debate for the last several days. We are disappointed at the
political gamesmanship that has occurred in pursuing this debate and must wonder why our
representative is showing little regard for his constituents.
