Wisconsin Right to Life Vindicated by District Attorney’s Office

As expected, Wisconsin Right to Life has been vindicated in John Doe proceedings related to recall elections initiated by a complaint to the District Attorney’s Office. We knew we had done nothing illegal, nor did we ever intend to do anything illegal. Wisconsin Right to Life is and always has been a revered organization that works within the law to correct a grave injustice in the law.

Our concern going forward is future unfounded complaints against Wisconsin Right to Life or other citizen groups. If the prosecutor had decided in favor of the complainants, ordinary campaigning, such as paying a television station to run ads, would have been outlawed. Wisconsin Right to Life is relieved that complainants’ extreme interpretation of the law has been rejected.
