Flood of CEOs, corporations speak out against Georgia's voting restrictions
Axios ^ | Shawna Chen

Posted on 04/03/2021 5:35:27 AM PDT by ImAbelieverinfreep

Microsoft: "We are concerned by the law’s impact on communities of color, on every voter, and on our employees and their families.

"We share the views of other corporate leaders that it’s not only right but essential for the business community to stand together in opposition to the harmful provisions and other similar legislation that may be considered elsewhere."

“”””Microsoft: “We are concerned by the law’s impact on communities of color, on every voter, and on our employees and their families. “We share the views of other corporate leaders that it’s not only right but essential for the business community to stand together in opposition to the harmful provisions and other similar legislation that may be considered elsewhere.”””””


What Microsoft wanted to say, but could not, is:

“Microsoft and other corporations spent billions to dollars to get rid of Trump and the MAGA in 2020 so we could continue our Globalism and Free Labor Express. We refuse to let State Legislatures enact new laws that make election fraud difficult. Those laws are not ‘fair’ for the cheaters, like us.”

Another good reason for succession.

The question is, is this just more talk? Will it be like those 10 million guns Freepers kept threatening the violent leftists with?

Enforcing election laws that require everyone to show an ID is color blind and only discriminates against cheaters.

Kemp was on Fox & Friends this AM and pointedly said that the CEO of Delta has not named ONE SPECIFIC ISSUE in the new law that he has a problem with.

Instead, the “Big Lie” (hey, the left can use the term, so can we!) is that the new law is “voter suppression” and “Jim Crow 2.0”.

NOT ONE CEO or representative of a single company objecting to any of this has been SPECIFIC about what they object to. Instead, they just object - because it’s all part of the left’s plan to keep elections open to fraud. Hence, they need to destroy ANY attempt to make elections more secure by doing basic, simple things like requiring id.

Oh, and you need an ID to get on a Delta plane or buy an Apple device, so there’s that..

Nothing says democracy like billionaire CEOs telling duly elected officials to act against the will of the voting public. Maybe they can run for Congress if they have strong opinions.

This appears to be part of a larger plan..

Rile people up about “voter suppression” and “Jim Crow 2.0” (neither of which are even remotely true) via woke celebrities and CEOs of major companies like Delta, Apple and MLB..

Advance HR 1 to the Senate, where the left knows for certain Republicans will object to it.

Use the same woke celebs, fake news media, major corporations to push for “voter rights”.

Kill off the Filibuster, under the guise of HR 1 being “voting rights” and not letting the same “horrible” thing that happened in Georgia happen in other states.

It’s all SO. TRANSPARENT..

Sounds like Microsoft needs to stop making IT and get into politics full time.

Considering most of its American employees are filthy H1B Indians and Communist Chinese and its CEO was an H1B Indian...

Eggzactly. It’s just a knee-jerk reaction by Delta et al to demonstrate that they are simpatico with the Woke narrative.

And the ‘ignorocity’ continues unabated. Sadly it’s nearly impossible to sever all ties with these assclowns since it’s hard to know how many and which pies they have their tentacles in. But where possible..............

Tucker showed a memo from delta before the law got so much attention and it sure looked like they supported it. Until the wokenistas called mx ceo on the carpet. So mx ceo, when you stepping aside to let snoop dog take over?

It’s amazing how absolutely racist it is to be against a bill by saying essentially that black people are too stupid to follow the guidelines.

But that’s really not the purpose of all of this, is it...

Microsoft must be chaired by a lot of democrats to voice this viewpoint. Democrats are the only ones objecting to eliminating ways to cheat with this Georgia law, or did you notice too?

Do you (or anyone) have a bullet point list of what this bill changes, and how it affects all GA voters?

I would like to book mark this so I can quickly post it to different social sites.

This was absolutely predictable. (So why did it happen?)

Maybe we can all use our shiny new COVID passports as a voter ID!

Well, we all know Susan Rice has been put in charge of the push to universal mail-in voting. She’s a militant Marxist and they didn’t pay the airlines tens of billions of dollars with no strings attached.

How’s this for a pandemic:

Rampant ignorance and mind-numbing stupidity.

Idiots are everywhere. And sadly, running big businesses. May God have mercy on America and Americans.

More proof that Georgia is right.

Our real rulers ate against them.
