To view a copy of this license, visit http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ or send a letter to Creative Commons, PO Box 1866, Mountain View, CA 94042, USA. Introduction The 2019 Wisconsin Legislature adopted on second consideration a proposal to amend the Wisconsin Constitution. The proposal would amend article I, section 9m, to further distinguish rights of victims of crime, authorize victims to assert those rights in court, and afford remedies to violations of those rights. The proposal was introduced as 2019 Senate Joint Resolution 2, which became 2019 Enrolled Joint Resolution 3, and will be considered by Wisconsin voters on April 7, 2020.1 Legislative passage of a constitutional amendment on second consideration is the second step in the multiyear process of amending the constitution. Under article XII, section 1, of the Wisconsin Constitution, amendments to the constitution must be ad- opted by two successive legislatures and then ratified by the electorate in a statewide election.2 On first consideration, a proposed change to the constitution is offered as a joint resolution in either the assembly or the senate. A joint resolution, unlike a bill, need not be submitted to the governor for approval, but must pass both houses in identical form.

    Wisconsin Veterans Museum Research Center Transcript of an Oral History Interview with FRED A. RISSER Pharmacist mate, Navy, post World War II 1996 OH 187 1 OH 187 Risser, Fred A., (1927- ). Oral History Interview, 1996. User Copy: 1 sound cassette (ca. 45 min.); analog, 1 7/8 ips, mono. Master Copy: 1 sound cassette (ca. 45 min.); analog, 1 7/8 ips, mono. Transcript: 0.1 linear ft. (1 folder). Military Papers: 0.1 linear ft. (1 folder). Abstract: Fred Risser, a Madison, Wisconsin native, discusses his service in the post-World War II Navy Medical Corps. At age fourteen, Risser recalls listening to the radio with his family during the attack on Pearl Harbor, but not thinking the war would last long enough to affect him. With a political upbringing and a father in the Wisconsin State Senate, Risser reflects on his awareness of the political situation and isolationist leanings. He talks about his family’s history in politics going back to his great-grandfather, Colonel Warner, who served in the Civil War. Uncomfortable with the idea of killing people, Risser details the process of deciding to enlist with the Navy as a hospital corpsman. Because he was farsighted, he speaks of memorizing the eye chart in order to pass the eye exam. Entering the service in 1945, he discusses graduating high school a few weeks early and missing prom and the graduation ceremony. He talks about basic training at Naval Station Great Lakes (Illinois) and mentions boot camp for the Medical Corps was a bit different from regular boot camp.

  • Amani for Wisconsin State Senate
    Amani For Wisconsin State Senate Press Release For Immediate Release August 5, 2020 Wisconsin State Senate Candidate Amani Latimer Burris Raises 20k in her first and only haul before the August 11th election Amani Latimer Burris, closed her first campaign finance report posting just over $20,000 in contributions in the last 30 days since she became a non-exempt candidate. --More-- Latimer Burris, who is endorsed by Mayor Paul Soglin, entered the race late, as her mother had just passed away a few weeks before Amani filed her paperwork on June 4th. Initially, Latimer Burris, who simply goes by Amani, and her campaign committee, had filed as exempt. “I just wasn’t sure if I had enough time to really get in the game. I talked to my ​ ​ ​ mom about it before she passed. She thought it was a good idea and that I should follow her creed of never looking back. I took her advice. After that so many people stepped in to make my run possible. So I am honored. Everyday, I feel she is with me, especially when things get glitchy. Funny thing is, I never thought I’d pick up where she left off but here I am.” ​ The winner of the August 11th primary is the presumptive winner in the November 3rd election, since there are no Republicans on the ballot. The race for Fred Risser’s successor is a 7-way race with 5 candidates of color running for the seat for the first time in Madison’s history. If elected, Amani would be the first African-American and woman to represent Madison.

  • Conservation Leader & Former Rep. Spencer Black Endorses Kelda Roys
    For Immediate Release July 27, 2020 Contact: Madeline Pawlak, 608-284-8746, [email protected] Conservation Leader & Former Rep. Spencer Black Endorses Kelda Roys Madison, WI​ - Kelda Roys’ campaign for state senate announced that Roys has earned the endorsement of longtime Madison State Representative Spencer Black. “For voters who care about protecting our environment, Kelda Roys is the best choice for state senate,” ​said Rep. Spencer Black​. “Having served in the state assembly with Kelda, I know she combines a strong commitment to protecting our outdoors and fighting climate change with the ability to be an effective legislator who can make progress on these important issues.” This endorsement is one of the most significant in the race, as Spencer Black represented one of the three Assembly seats in the 26th Senate District for 26 years, serving as Chair of the Assembly Natural Resources Committee as well as Minority Leader. Black authored numerous landmark conservation laws, including the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Fund, the Mining Moratorium, and Wisconsin’s recycling program. He also served as Vice President of the national Sierra Club and is widely regarded as one of the most important figures in Wisconsin’s environmental movement. “I thank Spencer Black for his support,”​ said Roys.​ “We have a bold vision for enacting a Wisconsin Green New Deal, moving to 100% clean, renewable energy, and building a more just, sustainable future.” Roys has been endorsed by every labor union that has made a decision to endorse thus far, and nearly every current and former state legislator that has weighed in as well.

    For Immediate Release Contact: Kelda Roys, 608-213-4502 Friday, March 27, 2020 KELDA ROYS TO RUN FOR STATE SENATE Roys brings strong progressive values, effective leadership in race to succeed Sen. Fred Risser Madison, WI - Kelda Roys confirmed today that she will run for the open State Senate district being ​ vacated by the retiring Sen. Fred Risser. “We celebrate and thank Sen. Risser for his many decades of service,” Roys said. ”I’ve had the privilege of knowing him since I was a young girl, and then serving with him in the legislature, where we finally passed a statewide smoking ban, worked to expand healthcare access to WIsconsinites, and defended constitutional principles of equal protection and due process. His public service legacy is unmatched, and I wish him and Nancy many wonderful trips and bike rides in the years to come. “To preserve Wisconsin’s future, we need effective, progressive leadership in this critical State Senate seat. In the midst of this global pandemic, the moral and economic necessity of healthcare for all, paid family and sick leave, student debt relief, and fair wages and taxation is even more urgent. We face a rapidly warming planet, right-wing assaults on our freedom, attacks on public education, and persistent and systemic racial injustice. Each of these problems are made worse because of the corruption in our political system, corruption that allows billionaires and big corporations to bend our government to their will, at our literal expense. “Yet despite our significant challenges, I am filled with hope about what we can do together, because our future depends on it.
