After news of the mass-texting began to circulate, Representative Jud McMillin (R) claimed that his phone was stolen in Canada and out of my control for about 24 hours. I have just been able to reactivate it under my control. Please disregard any messages you received recently. I am truly sorry for anything offensive you may have received.
But his Canadian girlfriend stole my phone defense apparently didnt convince many of his Contacts or at least, not the ones who mattered and so Tuesday night he released a statement in which he said that the time is right for me to pass the torch and spend more time with my family.
During his five years in the legislature, McMillin has crusaded to protect the integrity of the institution of marriage, but the Advocate reported that the woman on the video he texted was not, in fact, his wife. According to his campaign website, he claimed that the family has always been the foundation of our strength of community and that (i)n these times of turmoil the rest of the country could learn something from our example.

.....On his campaign website, he listed marriage discrimination as one of his top issues.
"I will protect the integrity of the institution of marriage. I believe that a marriage is a union of a man and a woman before their peers, government, and most importantly, God. In southeastern Indiana the family has always been the foundation of our strength of community," he said. "Our relationships with our wives, husbands, parents, children, siblings and other loved ones provides the glue that binds our common purpose. In these times of turmoil the rest of the country could learn something from our example."
If Hoosiers want to learn something from McMillin's example, they should discover that when you want to dictate morality, you'd better have some outstanding morals of your own.
McMillin doesn't.
