Chip in today to elect Dem govs across the country >>
Democratic governors are leading the fight against Donald Trump and his administration – and they need your help. Trump and his allies have hundreds of millions of dollars to attack our candidates, and we have to make sure we’ve got the resources to fight back. With 36 races on the map this November, 80% of Americans will cast their vote for their next governor. We need to invest NOW to expand our map, win in battleground states, protect our blue firewall of Dem govs, and flip critical states from red to blue. Can Dem govs count on you to chip in right now?
RFRA Groundhog Day, Starring Mike Pence
RFRA Groundhog Day, Starring Mike Pence
Rise and shine, campers. It’s Groundhog Day….again.
And just like last February, Indiana Governor Mike Pence is stuck in a mess of his own making.
In the last year since signing the discriminatory RFRA law, Pence has woken up each day confronted by the same storm of public outrage sparked by his job-killing anti-LGBT agenda. Headlines describe the backlash from the business community and polls show a rebuke of Pence’s failed leadership. Yet Pence remains oblivious to the problem, as if he wakes up every morning having completely forgotten.
Last week, news broke that Indiana’s tourism economy suffered a $60 million hit due to the 2015 RFRA debacle. And yet, Pence still refuses to take a position on LGBT civil rights bills being discussed in the legislature.
On this Groundhog Day, will Mike Pence finally emerge from hibernation and join the business community in supporting equality?
Watch out for that first step, Governor, it’s a doozy.
