I think it is important that we elect some big-deal lesbians soon. Do you know we’ve never even had an out lesbian serving in the Senate? This is sad. Especially since the amount of gay people in government directly correlates to how successful gay legislation will be, and I care about gay legislation, and I heard you might, too, since it’s what prevents us from doing things like getting married, and being happy. Also what makes me happy is the vision of a lesbian government takeover. But I digress.
Tammy Baldwin, a Democrat from Wisconsin, might be running for Senate. And she might become the first out lesbian to serve there. And girl, she better run. And you better tell her! You can encourage her to run by singing this petition, and I really think you should.
Baldwin has grappled with history before. And she won. She’s currently serving as a Wisconsin Representative in the House, and is the first woman ever to be elected by WI’s people to do so.
And Baldwin’s experience dealing with gay issues is promising, to say the least: she is the Co-Founder, Co-Chair of the Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus, a leader on ENDA and hate crimes legislation, and even authored of a piece of legislation extending benefits to same-sex partners of federal employees.
Tammy Baldwin running would be one small step for gay rights, and one giant leap for the aforementioned lesbian government takeover. So get signing.
This woman is so freaking amazing. I wish I could vote in WI. Or in America. :p
“lesbian government takeover” sounds like part of the gay agenda that the Republicans are still madly scared of.
Also it sounds like the name of a good indie movie. Maybe Riese would watch it.
Would this movie have these two characters in it?
Hee! I was just thinking Lesbian Government Takeover sounds like a good name for a punk band.
i said it the other day and i’ll say it again: tammy baldwin for president.
If she runs, I’m totally changing my voting registration back to Wisconsin to vote for her. I’ll just say I live in my mom’s basement.
can i pretend to move in with you so i can vote for her too?
Totally. There’s like, two whole sections of that basement. I also have a garage up for grabs.
Dibs on the garage! That wy I could vote for Tammy and help vote out Scott Walker!
Sweet. The idea of turning my mother’s house into a hotbed of lesbian political activity makes me absurdly happy. Muahahahah.
Can I share the garage? I’ve always wanted to be in a garage band, and, while I have the right software, recording it in my room just isn’t the same (garage bands get their unique acoustics from rakes and tools hanging on the walls.)
Only if you promise to do awesome things like actually having a band in the garage. Of course, you’ll need to clear that with MB since it’ll be her garage too you know.
Can I play the rake in the garage band?
i can twang on a hose like nobody’s business
I’m pretty sure there are both hoses and rakes in that garage. Maybe a canoe too.
You’re both approved. I will play trashcan drums.
SHOTGUN THE CANOE!
Oh so much yes. This is already turning into an excellent situation. Hahaha.
“You can encourage her to run by singing this petition, and I really think you should.”
where do i upload my mp3?
omgyes.
If this lesbian government takeover actually happened I would be a very happy babygay. VOTE FOR TAMMY!
I would love to have the chance to vote for her! She’s a pretty cool lady.
Additionally, here is a video of Tammy Baldwin dancing in front of a library on my college campus during Madison’s Pride festival: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7YDaXqyL-Y
I live in Wisconsin and I was thrilled to vote for her on November 6th.
