Leelanau Whippersnapper » Michigan Secretary of State http://leelanauwhippersnapper.com The Northwoods Is No Place For A Pink Flamingo Wed, 21 Jul 2010 01:55:36 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 A Name to Remember http://leelanauwhippersnapper.com/2010/01/a-name-to-remember/ http://leelanauwhippersnapper.com/2010/01/a-name-to-remember/#comments Sun, 24 Jan 2010 05:18:55 +0000 leelanau2010 http://leelanauwhippersnapper.com/?p=761 Found this on a blog today, seems my fair state of Michigan has yet another wingnut seeking to become the next Secretary of State.  It seems that RepubliKKKans in Michigan are hell bent on continuing to do whatever they can to run on platforms of hate and fear.

I will make it a priority to ensure transgender individuals will not be allowed to change the sex on their driver’s license in any circumstance.

The name is State Rep. Paul Scott, (R-Grand Blanc) and you all need to be sure that you don’t mark is little bubble in the election booth.  I don’t talk much about transgender issues primarily because it doesn’t really relate to me.  However they are the T in GLBT and part of broader Gay, Lesbian, Bi, and Trans community.  An attack on one is an attack on all and I have lost most of my patience for political leaders who continue to prey on minorities in this state and in this country.  For Mr. Scott, the above “priority” made it to the top of his list of things he wants to accomplish.  Let’s make sure he doesn’t get that opportunity.  Perhaps we can start addressing some of the issues in the image below rather than worrying about whether or not the person in the stall next to you might have once had a penis.  The statistics below are only 3 years old and I can bet they’ve not changed much.
