Lucas --
Virginia has GOP nominee E.W. Jackson, who calls progressivism "an agenda worthy of the Anti-Christ." Colorado has right-wing recall activists declaring it's "time to hunt Democrats."
And now Michigan has a House Education Committee chairperson who talks about laying off teachers by saying "Pigs get fat, and hogs get slaughtered:"
Click here to watch the video, and then please sign our petition denouncing Michigan Republican Lisa Lyons' extreme attacks on teachers and working people!
Michigan teachers earn an average starting salary of $34,724 – less than half of what Republican Rep. Lisa Lyons makes as a state legislator. But according to Rep. Lyons and her GOP allies, that makes teachers "pigs" to be "slaughtered." And she's not the only Republican who thinks so.
Michigan House Republicans were so proud of Rep. Lyons' remarks that they posted them to the GOP Caucus' official website.
The only way to stop attacks like these is if we come together to make sure Republicans pay a price for their extreme rhetoric – thank you for speaking out.
Sincerely,
Kevin Boyd
