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.

Such joy!
Lu lu lu, lu lu lu lu-u.

Lu lu lu, lu lu lu lu.
I was there yesterday. It felt SO Good to stand in the rotunda and sing with so many other people. I hope the Governor's Office heard every line, I know I did my best to make my voice heard.
If anyone else was there please consider adding your own thoughts, etc.. to a documentation thread about the Solidarity Sing Along at the PEOPLE's Living History Project: http://www.wearethedemocracy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=147
Why do you attend the sing along?
What do you want the children of tomorrow to know about the sing along?
You are living through history. The Living History Project is designed as a place for you to record your thoughts and other documentation while the memories are still fresh.
You guys are truly pathetic.
