Calling All Military Veterans

The past two weeks, citizens of Wisconsin have been exercising their constitutional right to assemble. Governor Scott Walker, in his cowardly fashion, is rumored to want to eliminate the our rights by shutting down the state capital to its citizens. These protests and rallies at the state capitol have been orderly and peaceful. Participants have even cleaned up after themselves and have provided food to the law enforcement officers that are observing.

You, our courageous veterans, have fought for our rights. Please Don’t stop now. Join us in Madison on Saturday, February 26th to tell the Governor that he does not own the Capitol, the people do! Wear something that indicates that you are a veteran so we can thank you for your courageous service to our country and our state.

Contact fellow veteran Mike Balistriere at mikeaflcio@sbcglobal.net for any questions or to let us know that you will be present with us on Saturday. Veterans will gather before the rally at 2:30 pm at the Walgreens on the corner of East Main and Pickney streets (east side of the state capitol).

Many of the protesters, currently public employees or private sector employees, are fellow veterans of various wars or period's of conflict.

PLEASE STAND WITH OTHER MILITARY VETERANS ON SATURDAY!

  1. As a military veteran I am offended by this. I fought for the rights contained in the US Constitution. There are no collective bargaining rights in that document. Please stop.
