We already supposedly did that by electing “Christian conservative governors” like Mike Pence in Indiana and Asa Hutchinson in Arkansas but notice how quickly they folded when the big corporations-business elite demanded it last month.

They and their Republican legislatures caved in on religious freedom laws just like that.

I don’t care about the faith of leaders as much as their commitment to our Constitution and its First Amendment freedoms including speech and religion.

America should be a country where religious people can say gay people will go to hell and a country where gay people can say that religious should go to hell.

Combining Christianity and the Republican Party was proven to be a very empty combination last month.

Thank you for writing to us about this campaign.

After careful review by our team, we have found the “Support Sweet Cakes By Melissa” campaign to be in violation of our Terms and Conditions. The money raised thus far will still be made available for withdrawal.

While a different campaign was recently permitted for a pizzeria in Indiana, no laws were violated and the campaign remained live. However, the subjects of the “Support Sweet Cakes By Melissa” campaign have been formally charged by local authorities and found to be in violation of Oregon state law concerning discriminatory acts. Accordingly, the campaign has been disabled.

Regards,

The GoFundMe Team

Morgan

We’re here to help! I’ll try my best to respond within 5 minutes during normal business hours.

“loss of appetite” and “weight gain”

Sounds like they go both ways. Or is that redundant?

Don’t just wring your hands and moan, “Oh, what’s to be done?” Fight back!

I agree?

It looks like funds may not go specifically to the Kleins...

“If you want to help Aaron and Melissa and other Christians deal with blatant discrimination, make a donation to our “Persecuted Christians—USA” fund below.”

The gofundme account is not found. Any idea what happened to it?

Seems there’s a market opportunity for a Christian/Conservative alternative to GoFundMe.

After GoFundMe shut down the "Sweet Cakes by Melissa" account, Samaritan's Purse took up the cause.

God bless them, they are very upright and honest, and this is a good place to give.

Reading about this case and the judge's malicious handling of it have given ME many of those symptoms. Maybe I should sue the judge.

Those two lesbians sound like the most fragile and vulnerable things since orchids in a snowstorm. In life, most of us get used to slights of one sort or another, and we don't expect to be paid $135,000 in punitive damages. If the local newspaper makes disparaging comments about conservatives, am I entitled to damages?

Alan McCullough sounds like a real piece of work, a sadist, a fascist, and a bully. He almost seems psycho, the way he has piled on the damages.
