State of Wisconsin - LRB 3156/1
Deadline: Friday, May 14th, 2021
This bill prohibits University of Wisconsin System institutions and technical colleges from requiring students or prospective students to be tested for, or receive a vaccine against, the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, which causes COVID-19, as a condition of attendance or presence on campus.
Wisconsin United for Freedom stands firmly on the side of health CHOICE, and believes that Wisconsinites should be free to decide which medical procedures they will participate in, especially when those medical procedures carry very real risks. These medical procedure decisions should NEVER be a condition for education. This bill will allow our students to have the privacy they are entitled to and prevent discrimination in order to attain an education within the University of Wisconsin System.

Dear Representative / Senator,
I am writing to request your support for LRB-3156/1 which will prohibit University of Wisconsin institutions and technical colleges from requiring students be tested for, or receive a vaccine against, SARS-CoV2 coronavirus as a condition of attendance. Each person should have the right to decide whether or not they wish to participate in any medical procedure and their choice should not result in discrimination or exclusion. This bill returns vaccination and testing decisions back to the individuals while maintaining their medical privacy.
As your constituent, I strongly encourage you to support this important piece of legislation.
Please contact Senator Stafsholt’s office at 6-7745 or Representative Gae Magnafici’s office at 7-2365 to co-sponsor this legislation.
Sincerely,

Dear Representative,
I am writing to share my support of AB132. This bill is a common sense medical privacy bill. For example, currently, a postcard from the state or local health department containing private medical information regarding immunizations could be placed in a mailbox for anyone to accidentally see. Having your medical information displayed while in transit with the US Postal Service is not acceptable. This bill protects our medical privacy from being disclosed to others, during a time when our medical privacy is of the utmost importance. This common sense bil simply requires a sealed envelope.
Please vote “yes” to further ensure the privacy of our protected health information.
Sincerely,

**Please note: We understand the biggest impact comes when constituents write from the heart. The below emails are example emails you can use to cut and paste to make things easier for those who wish to support this bill. Feel free to construct your message with your own personal story of discrimination, your own thoughts and feelings on this LRB (bill before it has an assigned bill number), and write why this is important to you.
Dear Senator and/or Representative,
I am writing to share my support for LRB 2140 / LRB 2956.
I strongly believe in prohibiting discrimination against any person based on vaccine status. It is completely unacceptable for either the government or the private sector to impose upon you the requirement to show proof of vaccination to simply be able to participate in a normal, free society. LRB 2140 / LBR 2956 details which types of situations, like schools, insurers, or those seeking housing or treatment, people could potentially be discriminated against based on their vaccination status.
As your constituent, I kindly request that you consider being added as a co-sponsor of LRB 2140 / LRB 2956. Please email Senator Jacque at Sen.Jacque@legis.wisconsin.gov or contact Senator Jacque’s office at 6-3512, or please email Representative Clint Moses at Rep.Moses@legis.wisconsin.gov or Rep. Moses’ office at 6-7683.
