Isn’t this the same state that gave birth (all be it a c-section) to Governor Ventura? And now the current gov wants to roll back gay/trans rights that have been in effect in for many years. Let all say: Franken for Governor!!!!!

Don’t you just love the quote by the National Religious Broadcasters Association guy?

He claimed “ENDA would ‘impose a substantial, unconstitutional burden on religious organizations”.

They would no longer be able to discriminate based on sexual orientation. What a horrible burden to endure!

How about making it illegal to fire someone to bump the stock price? I’m all for gay rights, but there’s a bigger story going on – that whole economy thing we built in the ’50s has taken a major crash, and it doesn’t appear we’re going to be able to real estate, coffee make or blog our way out of it.

All the countries who have done a better job than us empowering the worker also have no problem with gay rights. It’s because of fraternity.

I think we need to focus on the source.

How about fire someone to bump a stock price? Seems that’s maybe a priority too. I’m all for equal rights, but seems lots of folks are missing the big picture – the countries going down the tubes. There aren’t going to be jobs for straight folks or gay folks.

[...] Our own Al Franken pointed out at a hearing last week that Minnesota is one of the states where workers are protected against discrimination, and after over 15 years, the sky has yet to fall. Watch his remarks below [via MN Independent]: [...]

Al speaks out about discrimination in the work place and bat-shit crazy michelle calls for the mugging of representatives in the halls of congress.

Al has done more since January than michelle has done her entire career – including her stint as a state senator.

We need more Als.
