“Thou shalt not travel to Mississippi” demand the governors of Washington, New York, and Vermont. Mississippi’s new legislation is believed to be mean spirited and discriminatory and thus these governors feel it is in their power to limit travel of their own citizenry.
Reminiscent of the big brother behavior of the Mayor of San Fransisco, who made similar demands of city employees banning travel to North Carolina, these governors are overstepping their authority.
The mayoral panties are all twisted up because North Carolina has passed legislation preventing anti-discrimination protection for lesbian, gay and transgender people thus nullifying a Charlotte ordinance that allowed for transgender bathroom use of the opposite gender.
City workers were banned by the Lee from “non-essential” travel to North Carolina, Truth and Action reports.
The Mississippi legislation is viewed as discriminatory against the LGBT community, yet in actuality it protects all citizens of Mississippi from government over reach by protecting “sincerely held religious beliefs and moral convictions of individuals, organizations and private associations.”
Citizens of Mississippi who hold religious convictions are given the freedom to exercise their faith without repudiation. Under this legislation, people of faith will be protected if they deny wedding services to same-sex couples. It also allows employers to take their religious beliefs to inform such work place values such as dress code and bathroom or locker access.
The legislation does not remove civil rights from any one group, but strengthens the First Amendment for all.

That’s hilarious and dumb to go out to tell you what you can and can’t do. They are loony as a bed bug!
Where are the intelligent people! Idiotic and unlawful !
America there’s a lot of concern where we are heading with our 2016 election – here’s the picture we are creating –
Democrats – we are fixing to nominate a crook that should behind bars in a prison – where she should be eaten up with her conscious –
Republicans – hopefully we the people wake up before it’s too late – if we fail Donald Trump – then we will be enabling the GOP to force a nominee through corruption – as they will not go with the majority of the votes candidate – so in essence we are electing a crook for the POTUS – how do we explain our ignorance to our future generations – how do we explain the imbalance in our liberal Supreme Court – we can’t afford to continue down this road – we have young families struggling to pay up to $10 or more a day for their children’s school lunches when illegals sit opposite the table and eat free lunches. What’s really sad is what about American kid that’s ashamed to sit down at the lunch table because he hasn’t any money to get a lunch. No legal American child chooses to go hungry either. Do you see any illegal immigrants being required to serve jury-duty while hard working working class loses income from serving and held in contempt of court if they choose not to do so. We the people need to wake up before it is too late and vote for the FUTURE of OUR people not the politicians people.
Crazy none the less!
