Update Profile/Email Address link at the bottom of every edition, so you can update your own email in just seconds
New link style, so those of you who get the plain-text version see all the links

Improved spam protection and opt-in system, so you'll all get the Newsletter, and get it fast. (If you joined ages ago and are just now getting it for the first time, this is why!)
"Forward this Kate Clinton Newsletter to a friend!" link at the bottom of every edition, so you can make sure your friends and family are in the know. This one's our favorite, and we hope it's yours, too.

It's been quiet... We know you're out there protesting somewhere...
Let's put some fun in our own fundamentalism! Use your imagination! Tell us some of the witty, gay civil protests you've done in our all-new HA [Humor Activism] Corner.
We do recommend for example that you adopt a church in your neighborhood and while you're out on your round of Saturday errands, if you see a wedding going on, make a visit. When the minister gets to the part about "Are there any objections to this union?" stand up and make a little speech. You don't need to know the people. Something along the lines of, "I don't think anyone should be able to get married, until all people can get married." Then go off to the grocery store.
We'd love to hear a story about some young lesbian rappellers scaling the face of Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota and hanging the banner that says, "Four Men for Freedom of Choice."
Read on for our first HA story:

PTown begins!
Kate kicks off her summer long run of It's Come To This! at the C&A in Provincetown with Carol and Darlene Bryant.
Pee-Pee Pants: Now There's an Endorsement!
We loved your show and the only problem, and one you might be familiar with ( and can add to your dialogue if you want), is that I laughed so hard, I peed my pants several times... one of the nicer side effects of being "a quart low in estrogen"... hee hee... you looked fabulous, just the same as you did when I last saw you at Luther's in the 1980's. It was still worth "pee-pee pants," as they are fondly called in our little home.
And now we are inspired to become groupies, and perhaps show up on your little soiree with Olivia this fall. Thanks again, and keep up the pressure on our fearful leader.
