Bill would prohibit mandatory microchip implants
RYAN J. FOLEY
MADISON, Wis. - Former Gov. Tommy Thompson was one of the first high-profile supporters of tiny microchips implanted in people's arms that would allow doctors to access medical information.
Now the state he used to lead is poised to become the first to ban governments and private businesses from forcing such implants on employees, privacy advocates say.
A proposal moving through the state Legislature would prohibit anyone from requiring people to have the tiny chips embedded in them or doing so without their knowledge. Violators would face fines of up to $10,000.
The plan authored by Rep. Marlin Schneider, D-Wisconsin Rapids, won approval in the Assembly last month. The state Senate on Tuesday is scheduled to consider the measure, which would allow for the implants if the person gives consent.
Gov. Jim Doyle would sign the bill.
Schneider aides say the legislator wants the law in place before companies and governments could use them to keep track of their employees.
"I don't think most people had thought about this as an issue, but it's scary. It's reality now," said Michael Schoenfield, an aide to Schneider. "Companies can or will be ordering their employees to have chips implanted. We want to stop that before it begins."
VeriChip Corp. of Delray Beach, Fla., is the only company with federal approval to implant such chips in people. The company so far has implanted 2,500 people worldwide with chips the size of a grain of rice under the skin of their upper arms, said spokesman John O. Procter.
Thompson endorsed this application last year as a way to give hospitals easy access to patients' medical records when he joined VeriChip's board of directors and vowed to "get chipped" himself.

That speaks volumes about how serious we are about our Christianity. Look how far we have fallen in two generations. We kill babies before they are born. We have all kinds of relations outside of marriage. We are now "normalizing" homosexual behavior and talking about "gay marriage". We worship at the altar of "TOLERANCE".
Ironically it is WI too. That is where the NAIS initiative started

WI is the state pushing microchipping of animals.
Well, there was a report out that FEMA is secretly recruiting pastors to use Romans 13 to brainwash their congregations into accepting Martial Law.

I shudder to think of our futures if these stories prove to be true.
