MADISON, Wis. — Today, Legislative Democrats introduced legislation to safeguard public programs, and protect the civil rights and privacy of every Wisconsinite. Wisconsinites deserve to have a limited, yet effective, government that protects the constitutional rights of all people. This package of bills commits to protecting the people of Wisconsin by giving Wisconsinites tools to push back on the unlawful Republican attempts to strip essential public programs, violate civil rights, and compromise the privacy of countless individuals.
Representative Vincent Miresse (D-Stevens Point) released the following statement following the Protect Wisconsinites package announcement.
“Folks in central Wisconsin are clamoring for answers to the chaos, corruption, and cronyism in the federal government. These proactive bills give our state the tools to push back against the federal government and Trump’s radical agenda.”
“The Trump Administration has repeatedly shown disregard for our Constitution, our personal freedoms, and the financial well-being of hardworking Wisconsinites. Whether it’s illegally withholding our tax dollars, threatening our public institutions, or misusing personal data, we cannot afford to stand by. This legislation is built upon the conservative values of which the Republican party are turning their back on. This is a non-partisan issue. My hope is that they see the error in their ways and join me in defending the rule of law, protecting all Wisconsinites from reckless federal overreach, and making sure Wisconsin taxpayers aren’t left paying the price for Donald Trump’s chaos.”
