Email to Wisconsin's tourism bureau |

The actions by your legislature last night force me and my family to boycott Wisconsin. Making a wonderful state like Wisconsin into a test case for right wing fanaticism lets me know that working people like myself are not welcome there. We would spend a few days each year in the lower part of the state. But working folk are not wanted there anymore. Maybe you can get your revenue from the Koch brothers and their ilk.

5. This makes a ton of sense. |
|
The employees of Wisconsin's hotels, restaurants, and other solidly middle class occupations appreciate your support.
There is no way boycotting the state could ever hurt the normal citizens; I am sure it will totally only hurt the millionaires and republicans.

10. Yes, the tens of thousands of us working folk here in WI would like to encourage boycotting WI |
|
because evidently our actions here are not enough. Hey, have you seen the pictures of us in Madison?
Yes, all tourism here in Wisconsin is just one big right wing racket so it certainly deserves to be boycotted. Good thing that there are no good Democrats or regular working class folk who work here in the tourism industry that might be hurt, but if they are, well, tough shit.
Meanwhile the tens of thousands of us here in WI will get back to work protesting and getting the recall petitions out there. Hopefully our pathetic efforts will meet with the approval of those who believe that boycotting Wisconsin is the ultimate answer.

11. I do not believe that boycotting Wisconsin hurts who you think |
|
it hurts. Mistake. The people hurt will be the people who work in all sorts of businesses there. A boycott will hurt them first, and hardest. That's not the answer.
