What water, wetland protection is all about
"A little fill here and there may seem to be nothing to become excited about. But one fill, though comparatively inconsequential, may lead to another, and another, and before long a great body may be eaten away until it may no longer exist. Our navigable waters are a precious natural heritage, once gone, they disappear forever," wrote the Wisconsin Supreme Court in its 1960 opinion resolving Hixon v. PSC and buttressing The Public Trust Doctrine, Article IX of the Wisconsin State Constitution.

We would be so much better off if we were rid of the lot of them.
Didn't include Kohl in the list as like Sensenbrenner, they are both so rich that this is not really a career for them - but a hobby.
Too bad Congressman Jim has probably one of the safest seats in the country. Unless he decides to retire, good luck. Although ... I am tempted to run against him myself -- as an Independent.
