He’s The Only Republican...

Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker is the only Republican I would vote, he is an old time Republican; financially conservative, socially liberal.

Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker is sending $500 to the "Yes on 3" campaign to uphold a transgender protections law that he signed.

Baker this week sent the money, a donation from his personal account and not the one used for his 2018 re-election campaign, the "Yes on 3" campaign confirmed. Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito, a fellow Republican, also sent $500 to "Yes on 3" from her personal account.

"I think we should keep it and I've donated to Question 3," Baker said during the WGBH-TV debate on Wednesday night.

Baker noted he spoke to reporters after the bill signing. "I made very clear I was enthusiastic about the opportunity I had to sign it," the governor said.

Nationally the Republican Party is on a crusade to criminalize us and force us back into the closet. it seems the Republicans are in a race to see who can pass the most draconian laws.

Unfortunately Republican Bob Stefanowski hasn’t said a word about our rights and no news is very, very bad for us. A couple of things I do know, the ultra-religious conservative family organization that fought us tooth and nail to prevent the passage of our gender inclusive non-discrimination law has endorsed Stefanowski. The other thing is that he is an admirer of Trump’s policies.

Democratic elected legislators are pro Baker. He is an old time Republican who is a pro people advocate. Democrats are for the people and Republicans are for the money today. Lt.Gov. Polito is the same type lady. They deserve our vote.

Quotes

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless.

A right delayed is a right denied.Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction.

Martin Luther King Jr.

No one is born hating another person… People must learn to hate and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
Nelson Mandela

We can disagree and still love each other, unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist
James Baldwin

There is a fine line between free speech and hate speech. Free speech encourages debate whereas hate speech incites violence.
Newton Lee

The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.
Albert Einstein

"The point is that there are always obstacles, whether they seem insurmountable or merely bothersome. The question is not how difficult the path, but whether in your heart, you wish to undertake the journey."
Zandru's Forge

Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.
Mahatma Gandhi

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

You've Got To Be Carefully Taught
You've got to be taught
To hate
And fear
You've got to be taught
From year
To year
Its got to
Be drummed in your dear little ear
You've got to
Be carefully
Taught
You've got to be taught
To be
Afraid
Of people
Who's eyes are oddly made
And people who's skin is a different shade
