Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson Finks Out On Religious Freedom Restoration Act In a move that will infuriate the very people religious liberty laws are meant to protect, Arkansas Republican governor, Asa Hutchinson, refused to sign the Religious Freedom Restoration Act the Arkansas state legislature passed that as of last week he fully supported. Instead, he has asked for changes to the bill in order for it to mirror the 1993 act signed by then President Bill Clinton. What is important from an Arkansas standpoint is one, we get the right balance and secondly, we make sure that we communicate were not going to be a state that fails to recognize the diversity of our workplace, our economy and our future, Hutchinson said at a news conference at the state Capitol. Theres all those progressive buzzwords again. The goal, of course, is to make it next to impossible to discriminate against gays and lesbians in the business sector specifically in the wedding industry where religious business owners have opted to not do commerce with gays and lesbians seeking to marry. Hutchinson is the second Republican governor this week to experience the national microscope from the gay lobby on this issue. This move comes days after Indiana Governor Mike Pence came under fire for signing a law that is similar to the legislation passed by the Arkansas legislature. And still, lost in the argument is the irony of suspending one groups rights in favor of anothers using the concept of individual liberty.

He doesnt care what the voters want, or what their elected representatives have passed, hes going to buckle to a gay lobby and a corporate CEO. Guess Arkansas voters now know who he really represents, dont they. If he keeps buckling on the issues that he was elected to protect, then he will find himself looking for another job! Shame shame shame on him! Spineless and stands for nothing so he buckles for anything!
