Hawaii Lawmakers Receive Coal For Voting Against Same-Sex Marriage

[Hawaiianlight]

The lawmakers each received a black box with green tissue paper in the mail; enclosed was a red pouch with a hard black substance. According to Hawaii News Now, a typed note inside read: "You left a piece of your heart at the State Building when you voted on SB-1 [the marriage equality bill]..... Your lifestyle choice of judging others and ignorance is very unfortunate. Good luck in the next election."

2. Excellent, they need to be shown the door next election. They do not represent

people, they represent usually their own selfish interests, crackpots and $$$$$ interests, looking for power and fame while doing little to serve the people and to promote equality and fairness in the US. In short, they FAIL!

4. Hahahahaha!!! If we did that in Idaho, Pennsylvania coal mines would double their profits overnight!

The Democrats have tried to add 2 words to the state's Constitution for about a decade now.
The 2 words?

"And gays"

To add them to the anti-discrimination part of the state's Constitution.

Yet, the Republicans in the state legislature have refused to vote to add those 2 words year after year after year after year!!
And the Republicans have a super-majority in the House and in the Senate.
For years.

It's sad.
It's pathetic.
And it's wrong!!

6. By mailing that coal......

...they could be considered guilty of spreading a toxic waste.

- But then if it's used to eradicate a pest, I guess that's a price we'll just have to pay.....
