W.I.P Squared (Plus PLEASE READ? PLEASE?)

A Work in progress about a Work in Progress. Meet Laurie, the mechanical child of George Harvey and Conor lively, the recent subjects of a lot of these posts.

And now for the disgusting news: An elderly gay couple in Sonoma County, California, have been forcibly separated and had all their belongings sold by the county, despite having all the proper paperwork - wills, medical directives, etc - correct and in place.

Story Here
Basically, these men have been together twenty years, but after one of them (Harold) fell, the state separated them, took their home, forced the healthy one (Clay) into a nursing home and auctioned his things. What the eff?

A lot of people have re-blogged this, but they seem to be missing a key point. I shall attempt to remedy. This story is really depressing, but if you read it, please don't only comment about how sad it is. It is sad, yes, but you can take action! You're more powerful than you know!

Please write a letter to the local paper, the Press Democrat (owned by The New York Times) asking them to do some investigative reporting on the Greene v. County of Sonoma case. So far they have ignored the story.

Send a letter to the editor at letters@pressdemocrat.com. Include the story and a link to this post.

You know what? Free sketches for anyone who blogs this and writes a letter! To be done and uploaded Thursday!
