WHAT: Bill to
Make Premises Registration Voluntary in WI
State Representative Scott Suder (R-Abbotsford) has
introduced at the state Assembly a bill, AB 279, to make premises
registration voluntary in Wisconsin. The bill needs more cosponsors immediately
and your support as it goes through the
Assembly.
ACTION:
Please call and fax your state representative immediately and ask him/her to
cosponsor "AB 279, Voluntary Livestock Premises
Registration."
Find your
representative: http://www.legis.wisconsin.gov/w3asp/waml/waml.aspx
1. When you call, ask to speak
to the representative or the legislative aide for agriculture. Form a positive
relationship with the aide. Educate him or her about NAIS. Be RESPECTFUL and
POLITE. Remember, who would the aide rather speak with, someone who is
courteous or someone angry and resentful?
2. Please send this to everyone you know in Wisconsin.
NOTE: After the bill gets cosponsors, it goes to a subcommittee or
committee. We need to call committee members as soon as it is assigned.

Please support this bill even if you have been told by some other organization not to call your Assembly Person because AB 279 is stuck in committee. The bill is gaining co-sponsors. It is worth the five minutes out of your life that it would take to let your Assembly person know they should be supporting AB 279 and why mandatory premises registration is wrong for you. How are we going to beat back mandatory premises registration if we do not take an active role ourselves? Do not rely on others to advocate on your behalf.
