The Eagle Forum of Wisconsin, VP, Joan Tatarsky, is bringing her special barbecue for our sandwiches!

The Senate Education Committee is scheduled for a public hearing on the 13th. This will give us an opportunity to attend a hearing, to take a Capitol tour (11AM), and to visit the legislative offices of your choice.

We will meet in Room 400 SE at 9 AM (subject to change) to discuss how to lobby and talk about several bills, including a bill to amend our state Constitution to allow Wisconsin to "opt-out" of the proposed federal health-care plan!

There is no charge, come when you can, leave when you must; but please bring your favorite teen and meet us on the 13th!
