NATIONAL WIDLIFE REFUGE CONFERENCE IN MADISON
And they didn’t even have to get some fancy B-cycle type deal to do it.
PARK YOUR BIKE IN THE STREET

PRO-LIFERS RELENTLESS
Want Van Hollen to go after UW for training their doctors.
ANOTHER FEDERAL LAWSUIT
Filed by unions over the Budget Repair Bill. Makes sense, can’t take these cases through the state courts given the state of our Supreme Court. Lawyers definitely coming out on top.
