January 7Th, 2021 DELIVERED ELECTRONICALLY Vice President
January 7th, 2021 DELIVERED ELECTRONICALLY Vice President Pence: The events of January 6th, 2021 will be remembered as a dark day in American history. What the country, and the world, witnessed was insurrection. Rather than accepting the results of a free and fair election, extremists stormed the United States Capitol in an attempt to overturn President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris’ victory. These were not the organic actions of a few extreme supporters. It was a siege orchestrated and encouraged by the president to throw chaos into our democratic institutions in a desperate attempt to cling to power. Let us be clear, as long as President Trump is in office, the future of our republic is in danger. Every leader in our nation must stand up and acknowledge that now is the hour we must draw the line in the sand and remove President Trump from office before further damage is done. We also want to acknowledge the work being done by the Democratic members of Wisconsin’s Congressional delegation in their support for our nation’s laws and the principles of our democracy. Since November, the president has promoted conspiracy theories, lied countless times about the results of the election, and pursued legal action to overturn the will of the people. This culminated with yesterday’s actions at the Capitol with individuals determined to cause harm in a domestic terror attack on the most significant symbol of our system of self-government. Those responsible must be held to account under federal law. Today, we are calling on you to use your authority as Vice President to invoke the 25th Amendment immediately to ensure a peaceful transition of power and to save our nation.

August 30, 2021 to the Madison Metropolitan School District Board
August 30, 2021 To the Madison Metropolitan School District Board of Education: We encourage you swiftly to enact a policy of mandatory vaccination for all adults in MMSD facilities, including teachers and staff. With the huge increase in COVID-19 cases and the hyper-contagious delta variant circulating widely in our community and nation, we must take every possible step to protect public health -- and especially the wellbeing of our children. Last year, Madison led the way in requiring masking and moving to virtual education, but we now lag behind many other districts around the country that have enacted vaccination rules. Across the nation, as children have returned to school, pediatric ICU units are overflowing with children suffering from COVID. While children have previously been thought less susceptible to serious outcomes, they are becoming ill at alarming rates, and the long-term effects of this disease on children are unknown. Hundreds of children have died, and thousands more have suffered serious health consequences. Just as alarming, increased COVID hospitalization jeopardizes the health care resources, from staffing to beds, we have to treat people with other ailments. As responsible adults, we must do everything we can to protect the most vulnerable members of our society, including children too young to be vaccinated and the immunocompromised. It's been encouraging to see that Madison Teachers Inc. and the NEA have come out so strongly in favor of making schools safer by requiring vaccination. The time for further debate, planning, and consideration has passed. Teachers, parents, and healthcare workers agree: our community urgently needs a vaccine mandate for our schools -- and we need it now.

Various Legislators
July 29, 2020 The Honorable Chief U.S. District Judge James D. Peterson U.S. District Court Western District of Wisconsin 120 North Henry Street, Room 320 Madison, WI 53703 Honorable Judge Peterson, We would like to invite you to join us on a tour of Lincoln Hills and Copper Lake Schools for juveniles this coming fall. In July of 2017, you issued an order in the case of former inmates at the facilities represented by the American Civil Liberties Union vs. Lincoln Hills, Copper Lake and Department of Corrections officials. The order instituted drastic reforms in permissible disciplinary actions and changed the procedures of operations at the schools. We respect that the ruling made at the time was done so to protect the rights and safety of the inmates housed at the facilities. As is the case with all complex decisions, unintended consequences are unavoidable. Restrictions stemming from the federal decree, compounded by other factors, have caused Lincoln Hills and Copper Lake to deteriorate into an unstable and traumatizing workplace. The pandemic only exacerbated the difficulties there, with programming pauses and staff turnover contributing to an explosion of violent activity in 2020. In a petition of “No Confidence against all Administration of Lincoln Hills/Copper Lake and the Department of Juvenile Corrections” union employees expressed that in the last six months of 2020, compared to the first six months of the year: staff injury went up 4700%, youth/staff battery went up 117%, sexual misconduct went up 75%, and use of force incidences went up 58%. We urge you to join us on a visit to the facilities and speak with the staff there about their day-to-day experience working under the federal decree.
