This is from a cleanup day in '11
The opencarry.org Adopt a Highway signs will be taken down per the attached letter.
That makes even less sense than usual.
"Your group has a Political/Partisan group name."
As far as I can tell, the group name they have on file is opencarry.org
WTH is political or partisan about that? (And neither word deserves to be in upper case.)
Am I reading that right? What's on the signs currently?
What other name would she find acceptable?
Wisconsin Open Carry?
Second Amendment Citizens?
Civil Rights Supporters of Wisconsin?
Second Amendment Supporters of Wisconsin?
I think she needs a bunch of emails asking those exact questions.

What wording on the sign is presenting the problem?
So now we wait.This open records request (WI 19.31 et al.) is to obtain a list (preferably via email) of all organizations participating in the "Adopt a Highway" program in Wisconsin.
Please include their organization names and the names posted on the signs for their sections of highways.
If you cannot send it via email, please send paper copies to

Just did an open records request via email...
So now we wait.
Hopefully there's a PDF or .doc that can be provided quickly & painlessly.
ETA: having more people requesting the same information would probably be a good thing.
Email doesn't cost anything, & they have to respond to nonresidents too.
I have a feeling that it is lawsuit time.
If evidence (which must be provided by the gov't) shows that gov't employees have been discriminating (sort of like the IRS has) then yes, that should be a possibility.eye95 said:I have a feeling that it is lawsuit time.

I'm guessing WI Carry might be interested (or maybe John & Mike) if such evidence is... well... in evidence.
I doubt there will be any reply, even an email, until at least Mon. or Tues.
