Oshkosh Area LWV Presents Forum on Civil Union Amendment

Amending Wisconsin’s constitution on marriage and civil unions: Is it necessary? Is it desirable? Who would be helped? Who would be harmed? These are questions that the League’s forum hopes to answer on Monday, October 16 from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the J. P. Coughlin Center, 625 E. County Rd Y. This forum addresses the referendum question which is on the November 7 election ballot.

Forum speakers are Gregg Underheim, State Representative; John Bermingham, Oshkosh attorney; Bob Pederson, CEO of Goodwill; Reverend Carol DiBiasio-Snyder, pastor; Susan Werblow, parent; and Aaron Scherer and Paul Smith, committed couple. These speakers represent business, faith and government. The forum is open to the public and free.

Following their presentations, there will be a 30-minute question and answer session. In the interest of time and because the forum is being taped, questions from the audience will be written and read by the forum moderator.
