EVERY Democrat in the Arizona legislature voted AGAINST the "anti-gay/religious blank check law"

Just want to point out that the vote for SB 1062, the "religion blank check to discriminate" bill was along party lines.

In fact EVERY SINGLE democrat in the AZ legislature voted AGAINST it. And of course, EVERY REPUBLICAN but two voted FOR it.

Don't worry, Brewer will certainly veto this abomination. Even Republican Jeff Flake is urging her to veto.

The REAL significance of this bill is that it exposes the extremest bigots in the GOP. I hope every ad for these seats brings up this thing. This is an albatross around the neck of the GOP.

Arizona democrats I am one need to do a lot more then that! I have suggested a blockade of the borders as arizona is always under boycott for its racist behavior.

It would give business the right to deny service based on "religious beliefs."

for Pennsylvania to follow them. Teabaggers control both the PA State Senate and House and the teabagger-moron Corbett is Governor.
