Pull the Plug on Charles Franklin

The signors of this petition demand that Wisconsin Public Radio discontinue its association with Marquette University researcher Charles Franklin for his unethical behavior. He consciously attempted to influence the upcoming recall election by designing a public opinion poll that he knew did not accurately represent the views of Wisconsin voters; that he did so with the express purpose of suppressing the turnout of likely Democratic voters. We must be able to rely on our public radio to provide unbiased reporting. Wisconsin Public Radio has a solemn duty to use only subject matter experts who are ethical and reliable.
