 MADISON - We need to let our own legislators know, and the leaders of the Assembly and the State Senate know, that we won’t stand for the grotesque waste of taxpayer dollars on the endless fishing expeditions about last year’s election.
Even Paul Ryan this week acknowledged: “It was not rigged. It was not stolen.”
So please contact your own legislators, as well as Rep. Janel Brandtjen, who heads the Assembly Committee on Campaigns and Elections, and Kathy Bernier, who heads the Senate Committee on Elections, as well as Speaker Robin Vos and Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu.
Here are their emails:

Tell them to stop messing with our freedom to vote.
 Tell them to stop wasting $680,000 of our hard-earned taxes on these lies and shams.
And tell them instead to work on the crucial issues we face in this state, including COVID, health care, public education, the environment, and broadband.
Thanks for sending these emails, and for defending our freedom to vote!
Best,
Matt Rothschild
Executive Director

 MILWAUKEE - We are joined by Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin president and CEO, Tanya Atkinson, to discuss the U.S. Supreme Court court’s midnight assault on Roe v. Wade, which rendered abortion illegal in the second largest state and may reach Wisconsin in 2022. We head into Labor Day Weekend with guest Laura Dresser, the lead researcher for the Center On Wisconsin Strategies (COWS) on their annual State of Working Wisconsin report released this week. Our panel also discusses WEAC’s call for vaccine and mask mandates in Wisconsin schools in the face of a wave of violence against educators and public health leaders by anti-mask and anti-vax protesters. Finally the empire is striking back in Congress, as a united corporate America unleashes a massive lobbying and advertising blitz against President Biden’s visionary Build Back Better agenda. Can the newly united Democrats stand up to the pressure?

 MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers delivered the Democratic Radio Address on Thursday welcoming students across Wisconsin back to school and expressing gratitude to teachers, students, and school faculty for their hard work this past year to keep themselves and their communities safe.
Audio file of Radio Address.
 Hi, Wisconsin teachers, staff, administrators, kids, and parents! Governor Tony Evers here welcoming you back to school this semester.
I hope you've had a chance to enjoy a safe and fun summer and you're ready for another great school year ahead of teaching, learning, collaborating, and creating.
There’s no doubt about it—the past couple semesters have been tough, and I know for a lot of folks this semester will be difficult, too.
Every semester over the last eighteen months has presented new challenges, and this semester promises to be different still.
But in the midst of all of that, I’m incredibly proud of how hard you’ve worked to always do your best, to support your friends and neighbors, and to help keep each other safe—and I know you’ll keep it up this semester, too!
Thank you for doing all you can to wear your masks, getting vaccinated if you can, and keeping your distance to help keep each other, your classrooms, and your communities healthy and safe.
I know if everyone masks up, stays safe, and continues to be good, kind, and respectful neighbors, we can get through this pandemic together.
So, with that, stay safe, study hard, and welcome back to school, Wisconsin!

 MADISON – Representative Gordon Hintz (D-Oshkosh) issued the following statement on today’s announcement of increased general tax fund collections:
 “Under the leadership of President Biden’s American Rescue Plan Act and Governor Evers’ COVID-19 response plan of getting shots in arms, Wisconsin continues to see strong economic growth and record state revenue.
“It is remarkable that with continued strong economic news the Republican Legislature could add almost zero new funding for K-12 public school classrooms. Today’s news should serve as another opportunity to invest in our future at a time of increased need so local school districts are not forced to make cuts or ask voters to raise property taxes.” |

 MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers today delivered the Democratic Radio Address highlighting the new $100 COVID-19 Vaccine Reward Program he announced earlier this week and encouraged eligible Wisconsinites ages 12 and up who haven’t gotten their COVID-19 vaccine yet to take advantage of this program and do so. Wisconsinites who receive their first dose of the vaccine from a Wisconsin provider before the program ends on September 6th will receive a $100 Visa gift card.
Audio file of Radio Address.
Hey, Wisconsin! It’s Governor Tony Evers.
We’ve got big news for you this week, folks: starting August 20th and running through September 6th, Wisconsinites 12 and over who get their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine will also get a $100 Visa gift card.
You heard that right: a $100 Visa gift card!
The Delta variant is spreading rapidly around the country, and with our kids headed back to school, it’s critical that we all do our part to stop the spread and get vaccinated.
COVID-19 vaccines are safe, effective, and one of the best tools we have to keep folks safe and continue bouncing back from this pandemic.
If you haven’t received the vaccine yet, I’m encouraging Wisconsinites who are eligible to get vaccinated as soon as possible.
Not only will you get $100 in your pocket, but you can rest assured knowing that you’re helping keep yourself, your loved ones, and your community safe.
So don’t wait, folks. Get your COVID-19 vaccine and the $100 Visa gift card as soon as possible.
And remember, you have to get your first shot between August 20th and September 6th to be eligible for the gift card.
For more information, visit the $100 COVID-19 Vaccine Reward program page on the DHS website at dhs.wisconsin.gov.
Thanks, Wisconsin. Let’s get this done! |
