Can’t make it any easier for you than this:

Honorable Mike Pence

Governor of Indiana State House Room 206 Indianapolis, Indiana 46204-2797

Dear Governor Pence: Regardless of the original intention of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, we are deeply concerned about the impact it is having on our employees and on the reputation of our state. All of our companies seek to promote fair, diverse and inclusive workplaces. Our employees must not feel unwelcome in the place where they work and live.

As we seek to attract and retain great talent from Indiana and around the world, it is critical that we make it clear that Indiana is the welcoming state we all believe it to be. As leaders in the Indiana business community, we call on you to take immediate action to ensure that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act will not sanction or encourage discrimination against any residents or visitors to our state by anyone.

By immediately enacting new legislation that makes it clear that neither the Religious Freedom Restoration Act nor any other Indiana law can be used to justify discrimination based upon sexual orientation or gender identity, our state’s elected leaders can provide the reassurance to the people of our state, our nation and the world that is needed at this critical moment.

Sincerely,

William S. Oesterle Chief Executive Officer Angie’s List, Inc.

Joseph R. Swedish President and CEO Anthem , Inc.

Tom Linebarger Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Cummins Inc.

Tim Hassinger President and CEO Dow AgroSciences

John C. Lechleiter Chairman, President, and CEO Eli Lilly and Company

Jeffrey H. Smulyan Chairman, President and CEO Emmis Communications Corporation

Daniel F. Evans President and Chief Executive Officer Indiana University Health

Jack Phillips President and CEO Roche Diagnostics Corporation

Scott McCorkle CEO Salesforce Marketing Cloud

You are SOOOOOOOO correct! This is a textbook case of classic Alinsky roll-em tactics.
