This email came out from the NRA yesterday:
Here is a copy of the letter I sent to Senator Taylor. I also sent the same letter to each of the other Senators who serve on the committee.
Any help from The High Road in the form of letters to these Senators is much appreciated!
Badger State “Castle Doctrine” Bill Needs Your Help!
Please Contact the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Corrections, and Housing Today!
As we have reported, Wisconsin’s “Castle Doctrine” legislation (Assembly Bill 35) is currently stalled in the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Corrections, and Housing.
AB35 would permit law-abiding citizens to use force, including deadly force, against an attacker in their homes. It is clearly stated that there is no “duty to retreat” from an attacker, allowing law-abiding citizens to stand their ground to protect themselves and their family. AB35 also protects individuals from civil lawsuits by the attacker or the attacker’s family when force is used.
State Senator Lena Taylor (D-4), Chairwoman of the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Corrections, and Housing, is choosing politics over your right to self-defense and is refusing to have the bill heard before the committee. Please contact the members of the committee, especially Chairwoman Taylor, and respectfully urge that AB35 be given a fair up or down vote.

Here is a copy of the letter I sent to Senator Taylor. I also sent the same letter to each of the other Senators who serve on the committee.
Dear Senator Taylor,
I am writing to request that Assembly Bill 35 to be heard before the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Corrections, and Housing. While I understand that the Committee is very busy, and has many bills before it, it is important that Assembly Bill 35 be heard before the Committee so the good people of Wisconsin have the assurances they need to legally defend themselves.
Assembly Bill 35, if passed into law, would give homeowners and other upstanding citizens a solid defense if they are sued for defending themselves against a criminal who has entered their home. Our courts are intimidating places for most people, and good people should never have to think twice about defending themselves, or their families, because they fear a lawsuit. Please urge the Committee to hear Assembly Bill 35.
Thanks,
Any help from The High Road in the form of letters to these Senators is much appreciated!
