Senate Bill 1, under current consideration in the state Legislature, creates an opportunity to remedy the corrupt political system that exists today, and this opportunity must be taken advantage of. Under the current system, politicians are forced to fall victim to special-interest contributions in order to play a major role in Wisconsin politics, whether they like it or not.

Recently, amendments to SB 1 have been proposed that will act to actually reduce the strength of the bill and only superficially patch the holes in the political system, putting the change that SB 1 offers in jeopardy. Politicians must encourage clean and fair elections immediately. With the end of the floor session upon us, it is crucial that you urge your representatives to pass SB 1 and return the political system to the ethical practices of which Wisconsin was once so proud.
