from my email...
Dear Scuba,
On Saturday, March 10, thousands of Wisconsinites will return to the Capitol to mark the one year anniversary of the passage of Act 10, a.k.a. Scott Walker's "budget repair" bill. The bill was a direct attack on over 300,000 public sector employees' rights and sparked one of the largest protest movements in recent history. Additionally, Act 10 gave sweeping power to the Department of Health Services to cut over half a billion dollars from BadgerCare. These changes will force over 60,000 people - almost half of them children - out of the BadgerCare program and into the ranks of the uninsured.
Walker's done nothing but attack working families and exacerbate Wisconsin's economic hardship - just so he can give tax breaks to his rich buddies. But Walker underestimated the fighting spirit of true Wisconsinites!
Join the resistance at the state capitol, Saturday, March 10, for the Reclaim Wisconsin Rally in Madison.
Pre-rally festivities begin at 1:00 p.m. with speakers taking the stage at 2:00 p.m.
Free buses are leaving from all across the state to get people to the rally. Make sure to register ASAP to get a seat.
Stand with your fellow Wisconsinites as we reclaim our democracy.
