Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., joined forces with 18 GOP governors to reject President Joe Biden's environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) "agenda," claiming the push is a "direct threat" to the economic freedom of American retirees.
Governors in Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming formed the alliance Thursday in what they described as an effort to ensure American retirement funds are not used for "woke" investments.
"Yet again, President Biden put his political agenda above the wellbeing and individual freedoms of hardworking Americans," the Republican governors wrote. "We as freedom loving states can work together and leverage our state pension funds to force change in how major asset managers invest the money of hardworking Americans, ensuring corporations are focused on maximizing shareholder value, rather than the proliferation of woke ideology."
"The proliferation of ESG throughout America is a direct threat to the American economy, individual economic freedom, and our way of life, putting investment decisions in the hands of the woke mob to bypass the ballot box and inject political ideology into investment decisions, corporate governance, and the everyday economy," the states said.

Your pappy Francis is evil.
Good for DeSantis.
Red state coalition looks more like real America than the others
Ever notice that?
That’s a good task for DeSantis. Stop the squandering of tax dollars on leftist special interests.
“ Sounds like a new Confederacy is about to form. A new union of Red States to counter the excesses of the Deep State”
I like your thinking
You really have a problem. You sound like a flaming liberal hater.
You are called a religious bigot because you are one. All high and mighty with your Psalms signature line….and spewing hatred and bile in every direction at other religions than yours. Disgusting.
Deception is the whole point of everything I have posted. That is my bias!
desantis is winning while trump is whining...
your bias is your own willful ignorance...
the internet has all the information you need about desantis...
maybe you could try using it to educate yourself instead of proving your ignorance...
Snicker. He not running right. He out forming alliances.. moving mountains, healing the sick..holy, holy, holy.. got it..
I’m not catholic and he isn’t anything to me, he may be a POS but not all catholics are
The House never voted on TPP.
You are a filthy LIAR, like your idol, Trump.
desantis is teaching people how to do things right while you’re whining...
your hypocrisy is on full display...
Golly gee I was told I could find everything concerning your holy one on the internet. And now from the state that gave US snarling Arlen to depressed Fetterman, call me a liar.. you guys are showing your primary colors..
You are a fool.
You think DeSantis is being pushed on us. He is not.
Many of us are CHOOSING DeSantis because he is the real deal and enacting conservatism.
Reagan and Trump got support from the RINO wing because they were popular and politicians jump on bandwagons.
All you have to hang you hat on are things like who is supporting DeSantis or who was at his inauguration.
You cannot dispute one policy that DeSantis has enacted because they have all been totally conservative.
If you want to get us to leave DeSantis, stick to issues than cast dispersions. It is not working for Trump and it is not working for you.
Whether Trump, DeSantis or FReepers, somebody needs to build a stream of anecdotal stories at the level the average person can understand that communicate the stupidity of “governance”.
Example: FPL FEDERALPOVERTY LEVEL currently has groups. Between 100% and 119% of FPL. Between 120% and 131%. etc.
Welfare amount ... uh, scratch that, ENTITLEMENT amount is determined by which FPL group a victim is in.
Biden’s CMS is requiring state medicaid to write code to change from placing the entitled in groups to the very specific amount of a person’s income to the FPL.
Each state Medicaid has to spend big bucks (90% Fed money, 100% taxpayer money) to make this change. It suits no purpose except to make the states jump when CMS says “jump”.
It does not serve the entitled. Less money is available for them. It does not serve the taxpayer. It does not serve the Staff of Medicaid.... they are super busy with a bigger change that is nothing except the whim of the bureaucrats above them.
The states are the implementers of the Biden bureaucracy. The R governors have the opportunity to expose the idiocy of the Biden mandates that states are paid to execute (with Biden’s money .... or is it the money of the same taxpayers the governors govern.
