This is a video from my new show, Counterpoint PA, the only grassroots progressive newscast exclusively about Pennsylvania politics.
In Counterpoint PA's homage to Keith Olbermann (starting at 5:40), conservatives protest the granting of marriage licenses to LGBT couples for the first time in Pennsylvania history because LGBT marriage is "inherently unequal" and marriage is really just about producing children. Then, after recently giving progressives a win on LGBT equality by saying she won't defend the state marriage equality ban, PA Attorney General Kathleen Kane (D) lets us down on voting rights by saying that she will defend the voter ID law that could suppress voter turnout by the hundreds of thousands and disproportionately disenfranchise minorities, which is a violation of the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Last week I posted Daily Kos blogs about the LGBT marriage licenses and marriage equality ban court battle to come and the voter ID law trial that just ended which you can check out to get the full story.
~ the show's website appears to be infected with malware at the moment, so stay away for now, I'll edit this once it's fixed - my apologies for that and for this video being out a couple days late, and my thanks to Daily Kos, DKos Pennsylvania, and all my viewers for working with me through my technical difficulties (I very desperately need a new microphone)...this is, after all, a grassroots show in the grassiest rootiest sense of the word for now ~
