Leaving a Legacy for Equality

Sen. Johnson,

We, as South Dakotans from every community on both sides of the river, in urban, rural and reservation areas, thank you for your service to the people of South Dakota.
We ask you now to leave a lasting legacy of full equality for all citizens in your home state and across the country; we ask you to join us in full support of Constitutional marriage equality.
Whether it was ensuring our veterans had full access to healthcare guaranteed to them by their service to our country, protecting our country by keeping Ellsworth Air Force Base open and funded or defending Native American women from abusers, you have established yourself as an advocate for those without a voice.
We ask you to continue that legacy of standing up for what’s right by ensuring lasting legal protections for all citizens of the United States.

Why is this important?

As a LGBT Native American in South Dakota, served by the tireless efforts of Sen. Tim Johnson, it’s important for our senator to leave a lasting legacy of legal marriage equality that will protect and defend the rights of all LGBT citizens in South Dakota and the United States.
Please join me in inviting our senior senator to make one more stand for doing what’s right for all citizens of the United States.
