Message to Your Legislators:	I am appalled at the revelation that Wisconsin State Legislators receive a sick-pay benefit, are able to accumulate that benefit, and then receive its cash value in continued insurance premiums. Legislators are under no requirement to report sick days (few have) and receive full pay and benefits regardless of the number of days they work. This benefit amounts to nothing more than a stealth bonus plan for legislators. It is deceitful, disingenuous, and yet another dishonest practice that further erodes public trust in government. As my duly elected representative, I am directing you to take the following action in order to remedy this outrageous situation. It is my desire that you co-sponsor and/or support legislation to eliminate sick-pay benefits for Wisconsin legislators. If no such legislation is offered, I direct you to author such legislation at the next legislative session. I also request that you voluntarily rescind any accrued sick-pay benefits you may currently be entitled to. Failure to comply with my desire that you either author, co-sponsor, or support such legislation will disqualify you as a candidate worthy of my future vote. Failure to comply with my request that you rescind accrued benefits will also disqualify you as a candidate worthy of my future vote.	The first paragraph on the left will appear at the beginning of each letter to the selected legislators. Place a checkmark next to each additional statement you would like to include.
