Only 38 states to go. Obama is going to do more damage to the fabric of America in his final 7 months in office than any other President in history…
The ink was barely dry on President Obama’s guidance regarding gender-neutral bathrooms – the administration told U.S. public schools on Friday to let transgender students use bathrooms and locker rooms according to gender identity – when opposing voices started shouting.
And at least 7 of those voices in 6 states—so far—belonged to high-ranking state officials, beginning with North Carolina, where HB2 brought the controversy to the forefront:
North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory (R)
– Says the U.S. Justice Department is displaying “overreach” by warning legal action and withholding federal funds unless HB2—which limits bathroom/locker room use to the gender on an individual’s birth certificate—is scrapped.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R)
– Has declared that he will be working closely with North Carolina’s governor in opposing the federal guideline.
I announced today that Texas is fighting this. Obama can't rewrite the Civil Rights Act. He's not a King. #tcot https://t.co/vDgfQPZXjR

Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick (R)
– Has stated that Texas does not want any “dirty money” tied to policies that amount to extortion:

Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson (R)
– Advised schools in his state to ignore the guidance:

Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange (R)
– Says the issue should be decided by parents, teachers, and principals—not by federal bureaucrats.

UPDATE: Six more states have joined in protest against Obama’s unlawful transgender bathroom decree, they are: West Virginia, Arizona, Kansas, Nebraska, Utah, and Maine.
The number of states who will fight back will certainly increase, as the public becomes more and more active, contacting their legislators and governors, demanding they stand up to King Obama.
