War bellwether: state leads way on anti-war referendums

By Judith Davidoff
Wisconsin will blaze a trail in April when, for the first time, voters will go to the polls as part of a statewide effort to pass referendums opposed to the war in Iraq.

"We see the Wisconsin campaign itself as a bellwether of national opinion," said Karen Dolan, a fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies and director of the Cities for Progress project, which is helping local governments pass resolutions against the war.

"The fact that the post-invasion peace resolutions have become statewide affairs is indicative of the high level of concern and dissatisfaction among a broad sector of our citizens. Activists in other states are hoping to follow Wisconsin's model."

National peace activists will be watching closely on April 4 when voters in 32 Wisconsin communities weigh in on resolutions that call for the withdrawal of troops from Iraq.

In Madison there's no doubt. Very progressive. I'm in Madison right now, where I work. However I live in Dodgeville and I noticed the other day when they listed the communites that were going to vote on it, that mine wasn't listed.
