Listen to "A Fair Wisconsin Protects BadgerCare" Battleground Wisconsin Podcast
Following a discussion of the latest recall and redistricting events of the week our panel welcomes Sen. Jon Erpenbach to discuss the new BadgerCare Protection Act. Fair Wisconsin's Executive Director, Katie Belanger joins us to talk about the continuing evolution of the marriage equality debate. We are also joined by AFT Local 212 President Michael Rosen to discuss the latest GOP assault on our technical colleges.  

Sign our petition supporting the BadgerCare Protection Act, which stops Walker from forcing tens of thousands of people off BadgerCare, and asks large corporations to pay their fair share.  Sign and share!

Contact your state legislators and tell them to support the BadgerCare Protection Act
