Please Call Your Senators Right Now: 1‑888‑665‑9823

We’ve just learned that the Senate will vote today on the American Jobs Act. This bill would put hundreds of thousands of people back to work immediately rebuilding our nation’s infrastructure and keep 300,000 teachers, police officers and other first responders on the job. The bill would also extend unemployment benefits for the long-term unemployed for an additional year. The bill pays for these job-creating measures by instituting a 5.6% surtax on annual household incomes above $1 million. President Obama has noted that the American Jobs Act would be “fully paid for, asking millionaires and billionaires to pay their fair share.”

Please call right now and tell your Senators to vote yes to get this jobs bill moving! 1‑888‑665‑9823

WPR Headline Story - Changes made to workplace wellness bill

This bill says that the State of Wisconsin does not financially need the help to maintain a employee wellness program. Therefore, it is assumed that one exists. Can anyone tell us about their employer sponsored wellness program within their agency?

Attorney objects to metal detectors in Wisconsin Capitol | Appleton Post Crescent | postcrescent.com

Concealed weapons SHOULD BE ALLOWED within the State Capitol. After all, that is where the laws of our society are drafted, submitted and in some cases, like the recent carry-conceleade law, are passed into law. It is only fitting that people entering the State Capitol be allowed to carry concealed weapons so long as all provisions of the new law are met and complied with.

What is Governor Scott Walker afraid of, "non-compliance" by a person carrying a concealed weapon? Is he afraid that someone might get hurt or worse, killed? Should have been thinking of those things when this law was created rather than the Wisconsin GOP flexing their "because we can" muscle and just making it happen.

Citizen Action of Wisconsin Looking for Support in Milwaukee

On Tuesday, Oct 11, the Milwaukee Common Council will vote on an Ordiance that would require that 25% of our public contracts go to people of color, women or small businesses located in the city of Milwaukee. This means hundreds of thousands of dollars of increased opportunities for Milwaukee residents. Join us at 11:30 at City Hall (Corner of Water and Wells downtown) to fight for this historic legislation as the first step towards passing a comprehensive Milwaukee Jobs Act that will ensure equal opportunity and economic security for all Milwaukee residents.

For questions please call Jennifer Epps at 414-213-7574
