Refuse to be Left Out in the Cold

By Doug Margolis

On a frigid Friday lunch hour last week citizens braved the cold to hold signs and wave to drivers along main streets in River Falls, Eau Claire, and 14 other communities, demanding the Wisconsin Supreme Court end gerrymandering and give us fair district maps. 

People of Wisconsin—by overwhelming margins—have said, again and again, in polls, in county board resolutions, in county-wide referendums, in legislative hearings, and now by coming out in the middle of January’s arctic blasts that we want independent, nonpartisan maps.  Why? Because we want a level playing field for electing our representatives.
