The state Capitol has historically remained open to the people of Wisconsin — officially when the Legislature is in session, and practically when Wisconsinites have wanted to rally, assemble and petition for the redress of grievances.
The legislators who have voted to change long-established rules and approaches have done so for the wrong reasons. They act as fools or political stooges, not as representatives of the people of Wisconsin. And they should be challenged, as they are assaulting the very core of our democratic practice.
