Supporters of the Breathe Free Wisconsin Act have made thousands of contacts to our senators and representatives, including over 1,000 people who showed up in Madison in March to rally with Lance Armstrong and visit their lawmakers. Despite this overwhelming show of support, neither Sen. Russ Decker nor Rep. Mike Huebsch moved to put the Breathe Free Wisconsin Act to a vote.
The only thing blocking a smoke-free Wisconsin from becoming reality was legislative leadership's unwillingness to schedule a vote. That's wrong, and we don't have to accept that.
Everyone deserves protection from secondhand smoke, whether they work in an office building, restaurant, or bar
Minnesota and Illinois are among 23 states that are already smoke-free in all restaurants and bars - don't let WI become the ashtray of the Midwest!
Smoke-free laws are good for health - they protect us against secondhand smoke, a known cause of lung cancer, heart disease, and other life-threatening illnesses
