To: The Wisconsin State House and The Wisconsin State Senate
We breath the same air!
Despite record corporate profits over the last 8 years, Ron Johnson and other Republicans think we should lift regulations that prevent power companies and businesses from polluting the air in Wisconsin at will. Tell Ron Johnson and the rest that we value the air our children breath more than the greed of a few! Don't change regulations that keep our air safe to breath.
Why is this important?
Ron Johnson uses the logic that "most of our air pollution comes from Chicago so why should Wisconsin businesses be penalized?"
In other words if your neighbor throws his trash on his front lawn and it blows onto your property, the solution is that you start throwing your trash on your own front lawn as well? This is nuts!!! But unfortunately people buy into this crazy logic so we must be the keeper of sanity and denounce this as what it is: Greed at the expense of the air we all—even Republicans—breathe.
