Delaware Governor Markell Signs Transgender Nondiscrimination Act | The New Civil Rights Movement

John Butts@JBMedia:
Democratic Governor Jack Markell wasted no time in signing the Transgender Nondiscrimination Act passed by the Delaware Senate earlier today in a 11-9 vote. Delaware is now the seventeenth state to provide transgender nondiscrimination protections.

The bill prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender identity in matters of employment, housing, public accommodations, public works, contracting, and insurance. The new law also adds crimes against transgender victims to the existing Hate Crimes statute.

Dana Rohrabacher: Marco Rubio Can't Be Trusted On Immigration Reform, Using 'Weasel Words'
John Butts@JBMedia:
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) sees Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) as an untrustworthy and dishonest leader of the Republican effort on immigration reform, he said during a recent interview with conservative outlet World Net Daily.
"Rubio is so mixed up and so confused," Rohrabacher said. "I think he has given up his rightful place to advise any of us in Washington what to do, and he’s given up any right to be trusted by the American people."http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/17/dana-rohrabacher-marco-rubio_n_3454039.html
