Wisconsin Residents Act NOW!

Thanks Tayler for this heads-up. Wisconsin residents need to ACT NOW or you will be in the same boat as Maine. :
"I just read this article. If you live in WI or anywhere else you should email this politician and tell him No! You don't want this law. This is exactly what they did in Maine and it backfired because companies just didn't offer rebates there at all and those of us that actually follow through on rebates would be denied doing them. This is bad news for WI refunders. The reason rebates work is because the company knows a certain amount of people won't complete them. They can't afford to give everyone who walks in the store the after rebate price so those of us that do complete rebates depend on others to not complete them so the companies can continue to offer them. If this passes every rebate will be void in WI. Here's the article

Thanks Tayler. If I were a Wisconsin resident, I'd email State Senator John Lehman and set him straight ASAP. Be calm, explain how much rebates mean to you, and explain that this is a free country where manufacturers can offer any legitimate promotions they want. Point out that because of the same legislation in Maine, manufacturers now exclude ME residents from participating in all refunds. The legislation in RI backfired. Instead of insuring that everyone gets a rebate, it insured that NO ONE gets a rebate. That does
NOT help consumers.

Wisconsin residents!!! FLOOD him with emails, calls, and faxes. (Calls will have to wait until tomorrow)
Also, other Wisconsin residents not in District 21 need to google your State Senator and email, write, call, to tell him or her to NOT to support John Lehman's Senate Bill 560. We have power in numbers, since most bills get almost zero input from constituents. If every Wisconsin RC member were to protest loud and clear, I honestly think we could kill this bill.
