Example Email:

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.
