Yes, Dorothy, you aren’t in just in Kansas anymore — you’re in Kentucky, Texas, Minnesota, Florida, South Carolina…and no, it’s not the knock on the head while the tornado dislodged your humble farm house, it’s a nationally coordinated plan to deprive trans and non-binary Americans of their Constitutional rights. Hold on to your hats, pop that Dramamine, tighten your seatbelt for the gale force winds in “Inside the Secret Working Group That Helped Push Anti-Trans Laws Across the Country” and The Anti-Trans Hate Machine: A PLOT AGAINST EQUALITY
Governor Beshear’s Visit to West Louisville
Hey, fellow Kentuckians! I’m excited after attending Governor Beshear’s electrifying re-election launch party today in West Louisville. Trust me; it was off the charts! I couldn’t contain my enthusiasm and want to share every bit of that energy with you. Get ready because we’re about to dive headfirst into a movement redefining Kentucky for our generation and beyond!
Inspiring Engagement and Unstoppable Grit:
Listen up, folks! We can’t afford to be passive observers anymore. It’s time to take action, be heard, and make a difference. Colonel Pamela Stevenson’s words hit me hard when she said, “I’m standing square in the middle of who I am.” That’s the spirit we need—unyielding determination and unwavering authenticity. Let’s channel that energy and fight tooth and nail to protect our democracy.
Celebrating Victories and Unleashing Our Potential:
Imagine a Kentucky where we’re not just playing catch-up but leading the charge. Governor Beshear and Jacqueline Coleman have lit a fire lifting our state’s economy and bringing investments that will put Kentucky on the map as the center for electric vehicles. Jobs will be popping up left and right, and opportunities will be knocking at our doors. Let’s give a round of applause for the victories we’ve achieved and gear up for even greater triumphs!
Inclusive Growth and Empowered Communities:
Enough with leaving certain neighborhoods behind! Congressman Morgan McGarvey hit the nail when he talked about inclusive prosperity. It’s time to bridge those gaps and ensure every Kentuckian feels the economic boom. And you know what? Governor Beshear gets it too. He’s ensuring West Louisville gets the largest investment it’s seen in the past 150 years with a major new hospital campus. That’s our commitment to uplift and create wealth in our communities.
Resilience: Our Secret Weapon:
Kentucky, we’re some tough cookies! We’ve faced challenges head-on, from the pandemic to natural disasters, and guess what? We’re still standing tall. Lieutenant Governor Coleman reminded us of our resilience and that it’ll keep us pushing forward. We won’t back down in the face of adversity. Instead, we’ll rise stronger, united as a force to be reckoned with.
Answer hate and fear… with love and compassion, empathy, inclusion.
Governor Andy Beshear
Embracing a Future Built on Love and Compassion:
No more dividing lines, no more spreading hate. It’s time to bring people together. Governor Beshear said it loud and clear: “Answer hate and fear… with love and compassion, empathy, inclusion.” Let’s create a Kentucky that embraces diversity, where every voice matters. Together, we’ll build bridges, not walls, and fight for an equitable and just future for all. That’s a governor that has our back in the LGBTQIA community.
Kentucky, we have the power to make a real difference. This election is our chance to shape the future we want to see. So, join me on this exhilarating journey as we rally behind Governor Beshear’s re-election campaign. Together, we’ll break barriers, rewrite the rules, and pave the way for a vibrant, inclusive Kentucky filled with endless possibilities. The time for action is now, and I know we’re ready to rock this! Let’s do it!
