Word is that the Greater Milwaukee Committee is planning on trying to pack the place with their plants, even if most of them aren't even from Milwaukee County.

So show up, and plan on not only being seen, but on being heard.

With Scott Walker in Madison and David Clarke in the Sheriff's office, we've already exceeded our quota for petty tyrants. We don't need to allow making Chris Abele the third one.

Also, please note that the County Board has already set up four hearing sessions.  Abele has set up none.  It's abundantly clear that Abele doesn't care what you think or whether your rights are protected.
