In response to the protest by Baldwin and Barrett, Nass promised to introduce a resolution supporting the BSA when the newly elected Wisconsin legislature started business in 2001. AJR 12 is the resolution he promised. It was drafted and circulated to prospective sponsors in December 2000, even before the new legislature was sworn in. Nass, the resolution's author, most recently introduced failed legislation in the 1999-2000 session to ban domestic partner health insurance benefits in the public sector. Clarenbach publicly came out of the closet after he left office.
Membership is open to all who support that goal.
The text of AJR 12 follows. Introduced by Representatives Nass, Hundertmark, Petrowski, Ott, Ziegelbauer, Duff, Ainsworth, Gundrum, Wade, Ladwig, Leibham, Jeskewitz, Grothman, Albers, Sykora, Kreibich, Suder, Walker, Owens, Urban, Gronemus, Kedzie, Vrakas, Freese, Skindrud, McCormick, Plale, Staskunas, Gard, Pettis and Townsend, cosponsored by Senators Decker, Zien, Roessler, Schultz, Farrow, Baumgart, Cowles, Lazich, S. Fitzgerald, M. Meyer, Darling and Harsdorf. Referred to Committee on Rules.
