Interested in what is happening in Kansas with this LGBT discrimination bill

[MuseRider]

passed by the House and sitting in the Senate?

Tonight Al Jazeera America 9:00PM central time Tom Witt, executive director and lobbyist for Equality Kansas (formerly Kansas Equality Coalition)

CNN tomorrow morning 7:30AM central time. Tom Witt again. **these times were what he told me as he left but we do not know exactly the time the interview will show (we think these are the times for it to show) so if this is incorrect I will let you know as soon as possible.


Now I know what you all think of my state and we have earned the reputation we have but I want you to know that this state blew up over this.

It has been killed in the Senate as is. The outcry was large and loud after it passed the House. I don't think anyone ever thought it would pass out of the House even. The work of Tom and EQKS was rapid and strong. We are getting stronger every year and we may lag behind most states but we are catching up slowly thanks to the work of these people.

Just thought you might like to hear from the man who has been in the middle of the entire mess for the last 8 years or more.

1. This is great news to hear and it could only be made better if it

Turns out to be true.

I'm in Missouri and the conservatards have started to act up in Jeff City as well. I can't tell if the styoopid is flowing from west to east or vice-versa.

2. It is true, the Senate president said today that the bill as it is

will not be voted on. At this point I think whatever they end up with will be inclusive and probably not end up to be much of anything since the people have spoken. That is what happened the last 2 years that they tried this. We end up with a new Religious Freedom bill that is as weighless as the years before. I wonder how many years in a row they will try this crap? Tonight there is an article from a lot of the church leaders in this state calling this bill a fraud using it as a bill based on religion.

We create our own stupidity here, after all this is Koch brothers home territory and with Brownback in the governor's office it is all religion and corporate positive all the time.

3. Here in Missouri there's "Impeachment" talk with regard to

Gov Jay Nixon over his direction to proxess the tax return s of same-sex couples.

4. We have that shit to deal with too

but no Impeachment option.

They, the legislators, never seem to learn but maybe that is good because the people here seem to be fed up enough with it to at least speak up.

6. He did great last night

and this morning. I am really proud of him. Not sure if he is coming home now or later but I will be excited to hear what he thinks about the process.
