Recommendations on sharing your story
· Be concise.
· Think about one or two personal points to make. This can be about your own family, relatives, or friends who are lesbian or gay.
· Stories or examples that are related to health care, family leave, or end of life decisions are especially helpful in bringing to life the reasons we need these protections.
· Always end by thanking them for their support of domestic partnership protections.

Subject: Thank You for Supporting Domestic Partnership Protections
Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,
I am writing to thank you for your support of the domestic partnership protections included in Governor Doyle's budget. Your leadership on this issue will have a major impact on this important step towards LGBT equality.
As your constituent, your support personally means a lot to me as these protections will greatly impact the lives of so many gay and lesbian families in your district. No one should stand in the way of a committed couple being able to take care of each other. I appreciate knowing that you will fight to keep these critical protections in the budget.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
|
