So..I've added more time-consuming positions to my roster: Outreach Ed coordinator for our GSA. Fun fun :) But that doesn't mean there isn't still an open invite to y'all...come visit, we love you and miss you and want you to come! In other news, my hair is a beautiful shade of nuclear red


It looks pretty pinkish in this pic, but in person it's more of a vividly intense shade of red. Gotta love Hot Topic ;) and Connor, my gay boy who did an exquisite job

EVERYONE: please..a favor..give a call to your legislators and tell them to support Gov. Doyle's veto of DOMA (and if you still don't know what DOMA is, send me an email - ljung279 at uwsp dot edu) If you need help discovering who your legislators are, CLICK HERE. It'll cost you less than a quarter and all you have to say is something as brief as "I'm calling to oppose AB 475 and SB 233 - the "Defense of Marriage" Act - and want my legislators to do the same." or as elaborate as:

Dear Senator ______,

My name is _____________ and I’m a student at ________.

I’m calling you to request that you support the Gov's veto of Senate Bill 233, the Defense of Marriage bill. This bill changes the definition of marriage from “a husband and a wife” to “one man and one woman.”

This bill would effectively change nothing, and is perceived as an attack on LGBT families, regardless of intent. If you want to strengthen the institution of marriage, I have plenty of suggestions, and this is definitely not one of them.

Please help make Wisconsin a welcoming, inclusive state by voting down this bill.

Thank you for your time and I appreciate the Senator’s consideration of this important student issue.


Note: If you call during business hours and talk to a live rep and they asks you: What are some ways to strengthen the family? You can say:

-provide a living wage so parents do not need to work more than 40 hours a
week

-offer relationship counseling to couples both before and during marriage

-help create a culture in which couples do an equal share of housework

-provide quality, affordable childcare

-prevent and end domestic violence

You can also call the Governor and make sure he upholds his previous statements that he will not support DOMA His number is Phone: (608) 266-1212 OR Fax: (608) 267-8983
