Grassroots Citizens of Wisconsin is sponsoring this panel discussion to encourage people to run for public office – and to give them the facts about what they need to know in order to run. You’ll find out what the rules and regulations are, how to get started, and where to turn for help. There will be plenty of time for questions and answers. Panel members will be current or past office holders. Light refreshment will be served.

Tim Sager, of the South Central Wisconsin Move to Amend organization, will talk about the fallout from the U.S. Supreme Court Citizens United ruling which declared that money is speech and that corporations have the same “personhood” constitutional rights as citizens. This controversial ruling has resulted in a huge spike in corporate contributions to political campaigns at all levels. So what can be done about it? Sager will describe in detail what Wisconsin communities – from townships to counties – are doing.
