The end of Title V funding in Wisconsin

A governor turns down federal dollars legitimately owed to the state, dollars our taxpayers paid into, and there is barely a ripple in the press. Why? The governor signs into law that abstinence is the expected behavior for school age children and then effectively prevents a real abstience program from being taught. Why?
To put it bluntly, all the lies worked. Once someone like Lon Neuman of the Reproductive Health organization put pure crap out in the public arena, it is someone else's problem to tell the truth. This organization sent out several press releases about this issue; to my knowledge, none were used in a story. We sent a letter to the governor and even made a courtesy call to tell his staff writer that the information in his response was completely wrong and we, and his "policy makers", had a federal memo to prove it. We met with legislators and state staffers. When all the bad press flowed over official state listservs and I tried to encourage my peers to read the full research, not just a NARAL or SIECUS or ACLU summaries, my posting privileges were withdrawn. The brick wall we were bashing our heads against just kept getting thicker.
