NATIONAL CRISIS & IMMEDIATE ACTION PRESS RELEASE (KILL SB 207 2012)

NATIONAL CRISIS & IMMEDIATE ACTION PRESS RELEASE (KILL SB 207 2012)
Khalil Coleman Hi all, after meetings with Republican Senate Staffers yesterday here is an update, a number of Republicans are not happy with this bill, the decision whether to move the bill out of the Senate Organizational committee will be made likely by the Republican Caucus. If enough members of the caucus express concern about the bill it may well stall there and not be scheduled.
The Senators they recommended we contact are:
Senator Kedzie - Elkhorn WI, Sen.Kedzie@legis.wisconsin
.gov 266-2632
Senator Ellis , Neenah Sen.Ellis@legis.wisconsin.
gov 266-0718
Senator Cowles Green Bay Sen.Cowles@legis.wisconsin
.gov 266-0484
Senator Olsen - Ripon Sen.Olsen@legis.wisconsin.
gov 266-0751
Senator Schultz - Richland Center Sen.Schultz@legis.wisconsi
n.gov 608-266-0703
Senator Harsdorf - River Falls, WI Sen.Harsdorf@legis.wiscons
in.gov 266-7745 Senator Van Wanggaard - Racine, Sen.Wanggaard@legis.wisconsin.gov 266-1832 (Senator Wanggaard added an amendment to the bill before it passed out of committee that preserved the right of people to try to sue under other protected classes, we believe it was his attempt to mitigate the negative consequences of the bill. If you contact his office please thank him for the amendment but ask him to oppose the bill anyway as the amendment will not likely help most individuals denied employment.)
We are also recommending that you contact Senate Democrats too to make sure that, if this bill gets to the floor, they do not vote for it.
Senator Jessica King voted to pass this bill out of committee so she especially needs to hear from constituents - she is an Oshkosh Dem. 266-5300 or Sen.King@legis.wisconsin.g

The new redistricting in Wisconsin has led to a little confusion. "We're not only changing and moving districts, we're changing the system beneath it," said Julie Glancey, the Sheboygan County clerk.

Truth in Journalism: Behind Canada's Law Against Lying on the News by Dave Saldana

"It’s not often that goings-on in Canada interest the American news media, but a rather small decision by a relatively small government agency—the decision not to revoke a rule that bans lying on broadcast news—in Ottawa has made a pretty big splash.

It stems from the planned April launch of Sun TV, a Canadian analog to FOX News—i.e., a broadcast news outlet with a decidedly conservative perspective. Among its top executives is a former communications director to conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper, evoking former Reagan/Bush adviser Roger Ailes’ role at the helm of FOX. That executive, Kory Teneycke, told the Toronto Star that Sun TV is “taking on the mainstream media [...] smug, condescending, often irrelevant journalism, we’re taking on political correctness [...] by bureaucrats for elites and paid for by taxpayers.”"
