Wisconsin Pride

On, Wisconsin! 
On, Wisconsin!
Grand old Badger State!
We, thy loyal sons and daughters,
Hail thee, good and great.
On, Wisconsin! 
On, Wisconsin!
Champion of the right,
"Forward", our motto,
God will give thee might!

Wisconsin may be at a crossroads but it seems very appropriate timing for the liberal state to have the ban on gay marriage lifted.  But the question remains, will the ban be overturned? 

Being born and raised in Wisconsin, a state known for cheese, beer and the Green Bay Packers, it is unlikely that the ban will not be challenged.  Take a ride down any street in Wisconsin and you'll find a a church and tavern on every corner.  We eat fish on Friday nights and it must be fried like our cheese.  We wear blaze orange and camouflage year round. However, Wisconsin took a big step backward in 2006 with the gay marriage ban that our current governor signed into place.  In fact, most of us felt that hell would freeze over before the the ban would be lifted. The Polar Vortex this winter very well may be that hell.

Governor Walker, let's get this one right. Keep gay marriage legal in Wisconsin. Let's not play politics with people's lives.  This is a pretty simple call, I hope you can make the right one. Our state song, "Champion of the right, "Forward", our motto." Our sons and daughters are counting on us.
