Against Bob McDonnell’s Executive Order No. 6

Awareness and Action

You knew in the 2009 General Election that very conservative Bob McDonnell had a plan, a plan that he wrote about in his thesis (see August 2009 posting). Well, the devastation continues …

In the wake of an ex-Vice President of the United States publicly stating that torture is ok and admits to condoning it, now we see the new Governor of Virginia and his Attorney General emboldened to endorse and promote discrimination. This is wrong, so terribly wrong.

On February 5th, 2010 Governor Bob McDonnell enacted an Executive order under the radar. This order took “sexual orientation” out of the list of things that a state worker cannot be discriminated against. Basically, any state worker can be fired for their respective sexual orientation (GLBT). This executive order supersedes the former Executive Order No. 1 by Timothy M. Kaine in 2006.
