COAL this Christmas

Want to mail Republicans a lump of Coal for X-mas? I thought that might get your attention...

The Progressives will be sponsoring a table on Wednesday (tomorrow) in Cartwright Center from 9:30 - 3:30. We will be lobbying State Senator Kapanke to support a more environmentally friendly version of the State-wide Energy Bill. We need lots of support from you and other members of the group to help gather support, and make a good showing for local TV, Radio, and Newspapers. This should be really fun, and will be one of the last group events of the semester. Please help make sure the semester ends with a bang by showing up to help out! Details below...

Wisconsin deserves a clean environment for Christmas, not a lump of coal!

Good Legislators will protect Wisconsin's Environment.
Naughty Legislators get COAL in their stockings.

The State Legislature recently introduced a new energy bill for Wisconsin. The Bill has some good portions but has four sections which could be potentially disastrous for Wisconsin's environment. We call these secti ons the "FOUR POISON PILLS." Students will have the opportunity to write letters, email, or call Senator Kapanke asking him to remove the Four Poison Pills from the Energy Bill.

We will be mailing Kapanke lumps of coal to let him know that good legislators end up on the "Nice List" by supporting our environment. Legislators who don't support the environment end up on the "Naught y List" and get coal for X-mas.

PLEASE STOP BY TO SEND A LETTER OR TO HELP OUT!

Thanks,
Ryan Schryver

PS. Good luck on finals and have a great J-Term!
