Moving Wisconsin Forward: CWAG 34th Annual Convention – May 21st & 22nd, 2011 Madison, WI
In the last several months, Wisconsin has been at the center of a pitched political battle that echoes across the country. Wisconsin citizens on both sides of the political aisle have come forward in record numbers to have their voices heard by their elected officials. Due to the local and grass-roots efforts of impassioned citizens, 16 Wisconsin senators face potential recalls, an historic and unprecedented event in our political history. For better or worse, it is clear that this is a time of unprecedented political involvement by Wisconsin citizens. The time is ripe for a frank conversation about how we can work together to continue “Moving Wisconsin Forward.”
