Will Scott Walker, the GOP and the Tea Party faithfully uphold Wisconsin's environmental legacy?
Or, are they planning to do anything and everything they can to deregulate our precious natural resources with deep-cutting anti-environment initiatives?
Are we ready for it?
We know they're actively preparing their attack, but are we prepared to match their enthusiasm to destroy the environment with our will to protect it?
Since when are economic development and environmental protection mutually exclusive, anyway?
Imagine tomorrow morning, you wake up, check the news, turn on the radio, or whatever - and you see or hear this:
"Scott Walker holds press conference announcing new environmental deregulation initiative"
Your stomach turns, your blood pressure rises, you start thinking of ways you can fight back, but you haven't heard the best part yet....
"Walker expects swift passage of the bill, and a vote is scheduled in just 2 days"
Now what?
It's too late now. If we haven't been proactive in preparing our opposition, we may as well have just rolled over and let the steamroller pass without opposition. Passage will be swift, and the damage will be irreparable.
What would John Muir, Gaylord Nelson, Sigurd Olson, or Aldo Leopold think?
More importantly, what would they DO? Would they be in the back seat like we are? Or would they be proactive?
Will you stand up to protect Wisconsin's environmental legacy?
