Vote NO!

On the Proposed Constitutional Amendment

• This amendment is intended to suppress the vote

• This amendment is unnecessary - voter ID is already the law

• Acceptable photo ID, yet to be defined, could become more stringent

• Unlike legislation, constitutional amendments are not easily changed

• GOP legislators need to work in a bipartisan fashion to pass bills into laws instead of legislating by constitution amendment

  More than 20 organizations, including the League of Women Voters recommend to Vote No.

Sanders Inspires

Last week Bernie Sanders drew capacity crowds in Kenosha and left them inspired. Sanders was in Kenosha as part of his national Fighting Oligarchy tour. Around 3,500 people came to see the Vermont senator and former Democratic presidential primary candidate. According to Wisconsin Public Radio, “another 500 were turned away after the University of Wisconsin-Parkside’s basketball stadium reached capacity. Sanders thanked his audience for an “unbelievable turnout” and encouraged Republican Rep. Bryan Steil, who represents Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District, to hold a town hall meeting in the same arena at a later date.”

Walworth County Dems were well represented at the event, with Ellen Holly speaking. Also, Bob Cole, Charlene Fell Staples Duane Konkel, Christine Hammerstrom, Jim Anton, and Susan Beyler worked crowd control, assisted in the ADA section and served as announcer.  

Here is the video from the event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eG0aV-WB-o

287(g) is a discriminatory program that transforms local law enforcement into immigration agents, giving them the authority to investigate immigration status and potentially separate immigrant families.

The 287(g) program has historically exacerbated racial profiling and instilled fear in Black and Brown communities. Expanded significantly during the Trump Administration, 287(g) has intensified its role in mass deportations and marginalized immigrant populations. Experts highlight that the program deters immigrant communities from seeking help or participating in local activities. In 2017, 287(g) was implemented in eight Wisconsin counties—Waukesha, Manitowoc, Sheboygan, Marquette, Brown, Fond du Lac, Lafayette, and Waushara—without public input, amplifying concerns about its detrimental effects on local communities.
