Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed Latest to Ban Travel to North Carolina
Newsweek ^ | April 5, 2016 | Lucy Westcott

Posted on 04/05/2016 2:04:03 PM PDT by kevcol

Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed is the latest U.S. politician to ban nonessential travel to North Carolina in the wake of the state’s enactment of the anti-LGBT House Bill 2 last month.

Reed's office issued a statement on Monday saying the travel ban is "a result of Governor Pat McCrory's decision to sign discriminatory and unnecessary legislation into law." Under the travel ban, all Atlanta city departments will no longer be able to make nonessential, publicly funded trips to North Carolina.
.
.
.
Other mayors of major U.S. cities have also cut travel to the Tar Heel State. Soon after McCrory signed House Bill 2 into law less than 12 hours after it was introduced, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee and Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser all barred non-essential travel to the state.

A number of governors, including New York's Andrew Cuomo; Minnesota's Mark Dayton and Connecticut's Dannell Malloy, have enacted state-funded travel bans.

Maybe he needs to give a speech to this voters and explain that it is alright for men to use women’s bathroom,, locker rooms and women fit clubs.

I;’m sure that will down very well with his voters there.

Maybe it is time for southern states to stop travel to the states which forced homo marriage and these laws onto us, and maybe it is time to stop travel o states which do not have good gun laws.

two can play this frigging game.

As the nation sinks further towards Genesis chapter 19.

Those enabling the push, good luck.

Actually luck will have nothing to do with the results as they join the insanity.

Meanwhile, I just saw this guy on TV about 4 a.m. this morning wanting you to send in your "miracle" $273. I guess that's not as good as the triple-favor seed of $1000. Send it to him, of course, via the address on your screen.

That’s what I was thinking.

The liberals OBVIOUSLY have no trouble declaring war on the right - that is, war on GOOD vs. perverted... when and how do we get to fight back? Who, with any power, is going to stand up and tell these addled-brained morons to go pound sand?

How about a counter ban.

It seems this is about blue zones struggling for business.

I howl with laughter at all these liberal mayors and governors now forbidding non-essential travel which indicates it WAS permitted prior!
Remember that on Election Day, folks. Libs running fast and loose at the pocketbook with YOUR hard-earned money. Sheesh.

Look on the bright side, is a boycott of N.C. by pervs, faggies, and GiBLTs, led by their enablers in government such a bad thing?

Just waiting for news of restroom beatdowns by enraged fathers.

It seems that non-essential travel is all the rage among low-level Liberal government workers.
We see a new proclamation against attending events in North Carolina on a daily basis lately. Hmmmm....

THen why is ATLANTA supporting the Saudi’s that Execute Homosexuals just for being.???

http://www.atlantatech.edu/communications/Saudi.php

Under the terms of the six-year, $8.2 million contract signed in Atlanta on May 29, 2012, the TCSG and three Georgia technical colleges – Atlanta Tech, Athens Tech, and Georgia Northwestern Tech, will collaborate with King Faisal University (KFU) in Alahsa, Saudi Arabia, to expand workforce training in the Middle East nation.

The CONTRACT IS STILL ACTIVE!!!

Headed to UNC-Pembroke to watch my daughter run in the Peach Belt track and field championships. Was going to spend two nights, but may have to stay 3 nights now.
AND......I think I can make it through Georgia without stopping, except to pee!

So far for almost EVERY ONE of these business’s, cities, states,... with a Simple Google Search I have found Strong Support for the Executing of Homosexuals by ALMOST ALL OF T^HEM. If they do ANY BUSINESS with the Saudi’s they Support Summary Execution for being Homosexual, let alone a mixed up transgender.

Why doesn’t the Governor and Legislature Fight Back?? A couple YOU-TUBE Commercials would STOP THEM IN THEIR TRACKS.

Fighting back is simple. We have two dangerous enemies we are currently facing; Islam and the Leftist kooks.

Pit them against each other. For example, spread the rumor that Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed has insulted Islam. That Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed has insulted the prophet Mohammed.

Post it on numerous sites across the internet, and eventually some Muslim will look up his name, and there will be that rumor that he insulted the prophet Mohammed.

We need to do this constantly with leftest. Spread the word that they have blasphemed against Islam, and let the Islamic neck choppers deal with them sometime in the future.

Groups need to go out of their way to plan vacations etc to NC... and publicly state the reason is they don’t want their children to be exposed to mentally ill men in their bathrooms or those who would pretend to be them to gain access to them...

IF you are a group already planning an event in Atlanta, all the more reason to cancel and change its location.

The overwhelming majority of folks don’t support this gay mafia nonsense, they just need to band together and act.
