Three women go to Mexico one night to celebrate college graduation, get drunk, and wake up in jail, only to find that they are to be executed in the morning, though none of them can remember what they did the night before.

The first one, a redhead, is strapped in the electric chair and is asked if she has any last words. She says, "I just graduated from Trinity Bible College and believe in the almighty power of God to intervene on the behalf of the innocent." They throw the switch and nothing happens.
They all immediately fall to the floor on their knees, beg for forgiveness, and they release her.

The second one, a brunette, is strapped in and gives her last words. "I just graduated
from the Harvard School of Law and I believe in the power of justice to intervene on the part of the innocent." They throw the switch and again, nothing happens. Again they all immediately fall to their knees, beg for forgiveness and release her.

The last one is (you know it), a blonde, is strapped in and says, "Well, I'm from the Louisiana
State University and just graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering, and I'll tell ya'll right now, ya'll ain't gonna electrocute nobody if you don't plug this thing in."

VERMONT ENACTS MARRIAGE EQUALITY; national right wing announces it will target New Jersey next

This morning, both houses of the Vermont state legislature overrode the Vermont Governor's veto of the marriage equality bill - and the process in Vermont is now over. Marriage equality will take affect in Vermont on September 1st. After nine years of a civil union law, Vermont legislators have seen that civil union laws do not provide equality and will NEVER provide equality as real marriage equality would.

Meanwhile, the National Organization for Marriage has sent an email to its members across the country asking them to email New Jersey legislators. All of us in New Jersey must now redouble our efforts to fight back and win marriage equality here in our own home state.

Here you write to New Jersey state legislators telling them to look at Vermont's lead - and that you've had enough.
