Rachel Maddow 4/21/14

she called out Oklahoma on her show today....banned the minimum wage, denied sick time/pay, denying marriage equality, even to considering stopping straights from the joy of marriage to prevent LGBT citizens from marriage ...limiting solar power to make/fine people who are creating solar power. Why is so in this state? I have nothing against Oklahoma ? to be clear .my total knowledge is 'Saving Grace' and that musical broadway show, I am sincerely asking what happened? How do you not leave? I ask sincerely and with hope for all of us here in the United States.

Those of us who are progressive and rational are in the extreme minority to the point that our votes don't count squat on election day. Our state legislature only wants to spend time on legislation that is unconstitutional or totally ludicrous. The Republicans and Fallin kept the bill banning cities/towns from establishing a higher minimum wage so quiet that the first time most people heard about it was when it was signed. It is truly like living in a third world country.
