"We are One"

Call for Resignation of Richard Floyd for calling for violence against the transgendered.

 Hi, State Rep. Richard Floyd threatened to "stomp a mudhole" into any transgender woman who uses a public restroom in Tennessee. "Stomp a mudhole," according to Urban Dictionary, means "To tear someone a new ass, to beat them to near death or to otherwise hurt someone to the point that they can not fight back." We cannot tolerate such hate! That's why I signed a petition to The Tennessee State House, The Tennessee State Senate, and Governor Bill Haslam, which says: "State Rep. Richard Floyd does not have the right to threaten transgendered women in his state.

Hate speech like this should not be tolerated!

Stop the cycle of hate now!"

Will you sign this petition?

I agree! That degree of hatred is totally unacceptable and should not be excused. The best way to unseat this guy is to not only write to him to tell him to resign, but to  write to the majority leader, the minority leader of his legislative body, the governor and the Congressman in the US House and both U.S.Senators. Write letters to the editors of all the local papers of his district.

Raise Hell. Raise it frequently!

From faraway Oztralia, I gladly put my name to this petition.

Sigh, another hit list I have put my name to.

But the end justifies the pain in-between.

The gentleman would be breaking the law in Australia, unless he said it in Parliament of course.
