In reply to the discussion: Stop pretending racism is confined to Florida [View all]Bettie
(16,075 posts)61. Steve King is not my rep...I'm in Bruce Braley's district
I don't know what kind of mental illness is running amok in his district.
But, I know that there are calls to boycott Florida. I also know that there seem to be very serious issues in the legal system there.
I don't necessarily agree with the boycott, but I also understand the reasons why people would go that direction.
From your comments, I figured you were from there.

Looking forward to the same discernment and tolerance being exhibited toward Texas.
