  • 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.

    Table of Contents About Wisconsin Family Action’s 2015-2016 Legislative Scorecard……………….….1 Wisconsin State Senate Scorecard………………………..…..….……………………………….2-3 Wisconsin State Assembly Scorecard……………………..……………………….…………….3-6 WFA Voting Record Explanation of Bills Scored…….……………………....…….….……6-8 WFA Bill Co-Sponorship Record Explanation of Bills Scored…..………………..…...…9 About Wisconsin Family Action’s 2015-2016 Legislative Scorecard Wisconsin Family Action (WFA) presents its 2015-2016 Legislative Scorecard. This Scorecard covers the two-year legislative session our state legislators recently concluded. It is a compilation of significant votes on a cross section of issues dealing in some way with marriage, family, the sanctity of human life, or religious freedom. The votes of each legislator are “scored” in comparison to WFA’s position on the bill. This year for the first time we have included co-sponsorships in our scoring. While co-sponsorship scores are not weighted as heavily as the actual floor or committee votes, we believe they do give important insight into how much an elected official supports the ideas in a given bill. A 100% score indicates the legislator agreed with WFA’s position on all items. This 2015-2016 Legislative Scorecard is a part of WFA’s mission of strengthening, preserving and promoting marriage, family, life and religious freedom in The Badger State. We are working for a Wisconsin where God is honored, life is cherished, families thrive and religious freedom flourishes. Our vision will happen only as individuals all across the state become involved in their culture and their government. We hope you find this information helpful as you exercise your civic duty as a citizen of this state.

  • Letter and Would Welcome an Opportunity to Discuss These Concerns Further
    November 19, 2020 Secretary Preston Cole Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources 101 S. Webster Street P.O. Box 7921 Madison, Wisconsin 53707-7921 [email protected] Dr. Frederick Prehn Chair, Natural Resources Board 413 Jefferson Street Wausau, Wisconsin 54403 [email protected] Submitted via e-mail and certified mail Re: Unlawfulness of Early 2021 Wolf Hunt Dear Secretary Cole and Dr. Prehn: On behalf of the Humane Society of the United States, I am writing to urge the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (“DNR,” or “Department”) not to hold a wolf hunt in January and February of 2021, as it would be entirely unlawful. The DNR is already in violation of state law due, in part due to its failure to reconcile its wolf hunting regulations with state statute. The DNR must revise its regulations to come into compliance with statute prior to establishing or implementing any wolf hunt, and it may not legally establish a season that begins in January or February. I. DNR Regulations Conflict with Statute Before implementing any wolf season, the DNR must amend its regulations to comply with the wolf season dates mandated by Wis. Stat. § 29.185(5). The DNR’s current rule governing its implementation of a wolf hunting season is EmR1210—an emergency rule put in place in 2012 pursuant to the Legislature’s directive in 2011 Wisconsin Act 169.1 Although the DNR began the process of promulgating a permanent rule to replace EmR1210, as it was legally required to do, the DNR never completed that process, and EmR1210 is still in effect.2 1 2011 Wis.
