Ben, I agree with you. I don't live in Wisc, but a late friend of mine did. She died about decade ago, but until then I'd go out to visit her every year for a few weeks. She lived in woods a short walk from the Namekagon River, and I fell in love with the place. I haven't been back since she died, but still feel the warmth of Wisconsin and admire the spunk of the people. I gave a small donation in my friend's name, because she deeply cared about Wisconsin's future, and am keeping track of Wisconsin, because it ties me to my much-missed friend, and I guess maybe because it reminds me a lot of my home state, only without mountains. Wisconsin is kind of the link between New England (where I live now), and the Pacific NW, where I was born and grew up. If we do this right, we can make enough of the intervening states vote blue so we are all more like Canada. Nice thought, eh?
This is devastating news. The court has again succeeded in taking away the voice of the people. This was an act of congress; we decided it was important to protect voting across the country. Now with impotence of our current legislative branch we have basically lost any ability to affect Washington. How can we change this? Thank you Ben for one option
Thanks for sharing, Ben! Even though you’re now WisDem Chair emeritus, I admire how you have stayed engaged and motivated your fellow Wisconsinites to show up and stay active in our state’s politics. Keep up the great work! Also, congratulations, Justice-elect Taylor!!
