Citizens near a Wisconsin Wind Farm Speak Up.

Click on this link for a transcript of a radio interview conducted in March 2008 with some concerned local citizens about life with the wind turbines in Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin. Here in Champaign County, we can stop these wind farm projects if we take seriously the suffering of people currently living next to these giant turbines and stand up for our rights! Tell your neighbors and friends and family to write and call Gov. Strickland, the County Commissioners, Zoning Boards, Township Trustees, state and federal representatives and senators - anyone with any decision-making ability and let them know that we need their help! The electoral cost will be huge if our officials give away Champaign County to global profiteers. And don't forget to write the Ohio Power Siting Board - let them know where you stand!
