We have won the battle...

You know how it goes (we may have won the battle, but who will win the war?). It looks as though SB 68 has no chance of getting to the Governor's desk anytime soon! Congratulations to everyone who has joined me in the cause to stop discrimination in Kentucky! The sources that I've heard from say our legislators were overwhelmed with calls and messages of opposition to the bill sponsored by Senator Tapp. In the end, even though the bill passed committee (in a practically secret meeting), the message of reason was heard and the legislation moved no further... all thanks to our hard work.

Now there are still two days left for the legislature to meet, but that makes it virtually impossible for this bill to become law. Again, thank you for all of your support in defeating this discriminatory bill and showing Kentucky that the age of unequal rights is coming to its end.

Now, we must not move on and think the fight is over. Senator Tapp has already claimed to support sponsoring the same bill next session. We must continue to show all representatives and citizens that we will no longer allow hate-filled ignorant policy stand in this state.

For the future, my activism and Facebook groups (which you can find links to over to your right) will continue. In the meantime, do a few things:
1) add me to your friend list on Facebook, or follow me on Twitter (craigcammack) so I can keep you updated
2) support other groups and organizations that help our fight
3) never forget what we have been able to accomplish together... we altered the course of history in our state and helped Kentucky's children.

Thanks again for joining and always feel free to reach out to me.
