3/1/12 Take action
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Senator Bennett's Amendment # 1709 to the transportation bill that would extend the Production Tax Credit for wind developers has been filed, and negotiations are still on going to determine which amendments are considered
The chance of the PTC amendment coming up for a vote is said to be 50-50.
That can change as the week moves forward, and we should all be concerned that the amendment will come up for a vote.
The best thing we can do is get all the people in your reach to call your Senate offices and urge them to oppose any extension of the wind PTC AND oppose Bennett Amendment # 1709 to the transportation bill.
We should also call Majority Leader Reid and urge opposition.
Call your Senate offices today and urge them to oppose any extension of the wind PTC and oppose Bennett Amendment # 1709 to the Transportation Bill.

Dear Wisconsin Senators and Representatives: The time is now for the Wisconsin Legislature to take action - directing the Public Service Commission to suspend and rewrite chapter PSC 128 (Wind Siting Rules). These rules were arbitrarily set without consideration for the health, welfare or safety of Wisconsin Citizens and therefore were suspended on March 1, 2011 by the If nothing is done, this suspension will expire in a couple of weeks. Whatever legislative effort is required to stop chapter PSC 128 at this time must be taken. If no action is taken these rules will go into effect and jeopardize the health and safety of Wisconsin citizens across the state. There are several bills in the State Senate and State Assembly that address this issue. Please ask legislative leadership to move these bills forward and schedule a vote. We know that you are receiving information from a number of perspectives on this issue. We are urging you not to buy into the illusions of green energy and jobs Attached are [the names of] more than 700 Wisconsin voters in support of the action this letter respectfully requests.
