Badnarik Has Heart Attack

I regret to inform you that my personal friend, arch patriot, Constitution scholar, 2004 Presidential candidate and most recently President of the 2009 Continental Congress had a heart attack on Tuesday, December 22. was unconscious and his condition was diagnosed as serious.

At the time of the heart attack, was in Madison, Wisconsin attending a hearing regarding a raw milk case. After the hearing he got in a car to go to lunch with friends, He then slumped over. His friends attempted CPR and contacted the paramedics. They attempted to revive him 3 times with no success. Upon the 4th attempt his heart was revived yet with erratic behavior. He was then taken by helicopter to Gunderson Lutheran Hospital CCU in Lacrosse, WI and fitted with a temporary pacemaker and a balloon pump to ease stress on his heart.As of yesterday, Monday, December 28, 's Mother, Elaine said that his condition seems to have "backslid". They were hoping that he would have been released on Wednesday to his Mother's care in Indiana but his condition is still critical.

When regained consciousness he unbound his wrists, removed the breathing tube from his throat and asked to be released not understanding how serious his situation was. The hospital had to sedate him again to put the breathing tube back in because he is having trouble breathing and is currently sedated to ease the pressure on his lungs and heart.

At this time still in arterial fibrillation and a AED defibrillator has been applied to reset his heart rhythm and remains sedated until his condition can be stabilized at the Gunderson Lutheran Hospital CCU in Lacrosse, WI.

Please do no call or visit the hospital as only family is allowed
