“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.
Travel where you will.
Guess this means we need to visit Mississippi
B******t. Makes me wants to go right now.
F**k those 3 states.

Is the government going to give Mississippi to Islamic terrorists?
Who do these people think they are?
Does this ban include Out of Body visitations?
We can end most of the hate and violence in this country with drug legalization. People are going to do drugs regardless of laws. Making drugs illegal only makes them more glamorous and drives up the price. This causes the small percentage of people who cannot control themselves to lose everything and become desparate. This puts a lot of dollars in illegal dealers pockets thus creating other types of crime including large scale police corruption. I have come to understand that police shoot mostly out of fear. The main cause for police fear stems from illegal drug activity. When cops pull people over they do not know if they have a gun, are on drugs or might have enough drugs on them to put them in prison for 20 years. This makes for volitile and dangerous situations. In general people who experiment with drugs are not negatively effected. A small percentage have it in their DNA and cannot control themselves. Those people need prevention through awareness and rehabilitation. Arrest and incarceration only prolong and compound their issues. The solution is prevention through awareness and rehabilitation not through arrest and incarceration. I asked a girl from Peru if she did cocaine since they have tons of pure cocaine available for so cheap. She was offended and stated that most people in Peru do not do cocaine because it is bad for you.
I travel where I want. Thank you. Inside America that is
