Past honorees include:You shouldn't have to be a hero for taking action to protect police officers and residents of your state, but Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle is.
The NRA has been targeting Wisconsin as one of only four states left that don't allow people to run around packing hidden handguns -- and the police in Wisconsin want to keep their state safe from the gun lobby.
With the overwhelming support of the law enforcement community in the Badger State, Democratic Governor Jim Doyle vetoed a carried concealed handgun law passed by legislators under heat from the gun lobby. One sponsor of the gun bill even threatened that the NRA would come in and pour in money to defeat anyone that got in their way. It makes you wonder what the NRA has against our law enforcement officers.
But Governor Doyle doesn't need a handgun to stand up to the NRA. He just used his veto power -- and for the second year in a row the state assembly failed to override his courage.
Governor Doyle of Wisconsin, for standing up for our men and women in blue, we honor you with this week's BuzzFlash "Wings of Justice Award."
