Good Morning VSN Members and Local Citizens!

Calling all green t-shirts...

On Friday, July 13th over 200 citizens took part in a peaceful rally on the Vernon County Court House lawn to show their support for a large, animal confinement operation moratorium! As you may already know, the Vernon County Board of Supervisors will make their final vote on the moratorium at the August 7th full County Board meeting. Before County Supervisors vote on such an important local ordinance, they will have one last public opportunity to hear from the concerned citizens who live, work, and play in Vernon County. This opportunity comes in the form of a Public Hearing, which is scheduled for Monday, July 30th at 7:00 p.m. The Public Hearing will be held at the Western Technical College on Main Street in Downtown Viroqua. Everyone is welcome to attend.

The previous rally that was held on July 13th was a huge success and has gathered the attention of surrounding communities and counties. Our State Legislature in Madison has heard our calls of concern. We have been diligently working every day to inform our local representatives that their are documented air and water quality risks associated with large, animal confinement operations. We NEED your support once again at the Public Hearing on Monday, July 30th.

We are organizing a rally in the parking lot of the Western Technical College (WTC) in Viroqua at 6:00 p.m. So, put on your favorite green t-shirt and head on down to the WTC to show your support! We ask that you join us at 6:00 p.m. because word is out...those in opposition of the moratorium and in favor of large, animal confinement operations will cease their silence and make their way to the Public Hearing by means of a large tractor brigade. Yes, it has come down to this.

Please join us, we need your support. The rally will last from 6:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. Those of you who can't stay for the meeting, your presence at the rally will be much appreciated. Bring you family and friends. Spread the word. Feel free to pass this email on to at least five people you know will be interested.

Thank you again for all of your efforts!
