AN OPEN LETTER TO WEST VIRGINIA SENATE PRES. MITCH CARMICHAEL AND HOUSE SPEAKER ROGER HANSHAW:
Know what finally would have placed a good face on the people of West Virginia for the whole country to see?
If both of you, on Martin Luther King Day, would have pledged your personal support for the proposed Fairness Act and explained why, especially at this time, it is most important for our state to finally do away with permitted discrimination.
Instead, you failed this past Monday to even offer resolutions in King’s honor in your respective chambers, and that means, once again, you failed the good people of West Virginia. This time, though, it didn’t involve yet another sell-out to big corporations, and it wasn’t salivating over the troubling ALEC agenda. No, this time you further solidified our embarrassing bad reputation by creating a rusted-old hashtag or brand or, for we older folks, a sickening slogan.
Pick your favorite:

Or, my favorite: #MountainStateHates
Sincerely,
