Petition for Ellen Degeneres to Come to Madison WI

Video petition for Ellen Degeneres to come to Madison, WI to speak at the Breaking the Silence Rally on the National Day of Silence, April 25, 2008. Because frankly, it would be amazing.

Hey everyone! Unfortunately, Ellen Degeneres did not show AND the march to the capitol was cancelled due to threats of severe storms. Instead, we gathered a bunch of people in the LGBT Campus Center in Memorial Union and had a discussion about people's experiences during the day and held a memorial for Lawrence King.

Is there some kind of petition to sign somewhere?

Nope, sorry! We were just hoping Ellen's producers would notice us. I suppose the number of views and comments serves as somewhat of a petition for her producers to note the interest on campus/the world.

Cool video. You might want to change the end title overlay though so it doesn't say "subtitle text here."
