STOP SB560!!!!

If you are in WISCONSIN, you need to know about SB 560!! SB 560 bans advertisers in the state of Wisconsin in supplying rebates! Yeap! You read that right! NO MORE REBATES!!
 No more Menards rebates, Dove Rebates, or any other rebates!!!

Please go to http://www.wmc.org/governmentaffairs/display.cfm?ID=2280 and to http://www.wrn.com/2010/03/bill-limits-the-use-of-mail-in-rebates/ to get more information.

Tomorrow it is suppose to go to committee!! Meaning that they will vote on sending it to the full Sentate!! PLEASE contact your Senator and the Senators on the list from this committee and KILL THIS BILL!!!  The author of this bill feels that the consumers are to stupid to read the fine print so they want to stop rebates all together!!!

I have called ALL the committee members. Here is what I know so far:

Senator Robert Wirch, D-Kenosha, chairman (608) 267-8979 - Won't tell me

Senator Jeff Plale, D-South Milwaukee (608) 266-7505  - AGAINST! ( YEAH!!!)

Senator Jim Holperin, D-Conover (608) 266-2509  - Hasn't made a decision, wants it to hold the bill for further review

Senator Randy Hopper, R-Fond du Lac (608) 266-5300 - AGAINST!! (YEAH!!!)

Senator Mary Lazich, R-New Berlin (608) 266-5400 - Won't tell me, said that she would email or call me back.

Senator John Lehman, D-Racine, lead author (608) 266-1832  - WON"T ANSWER HIS PHONE!!!! He is the AUTHOR of this bill!!!
