company is going to be sitting up saying that now. no other court has made that determination, connie. what does this mean for the future of separation for church and state? i think that s an excellent question. i have to tell you as a christian, i m so offended by the notion to be a christian means you want to harm women. as much of the polling has shown, the majority of americans who identify as religious americans people of faith, also oppose this ruling and opposed it before it came down. i want to make it clear here, they are not speaking for all christians, hobby lobby, when you decide to go after this essential woman s right to her reproductive freedom and to basic medical care. look at the options now. if you re not covered by private insurer, if you ve enrolled in the exchange or going to be dependent on organizations like planned parenthood, i talked to a number of people today and hopeful a lot more contributions
people out to vote for democrats. if it weren t for the union vote in this country, president obama would have lost to mitt romney. you could talk about organizing for america all you want, you leave the union folk home and leave the folks not going door to door and boots on the ground gone and leave that social networking out, obama loses. after citizens united, republicans got the money, but democrats have the people power and this is what s being attacked here. they are trying to put the last nail in the coffin. in recent years, we ve seen an assault on unions an organization, from scott walker as radical anti-union law to right to work states across the country. it is real and coordinated by big money republicans in special interests. it s your voice, folks. 24 states have now passed right to work legislation. tell me how that helps workers it doesn t. these states don t require public sector union workers to pay dues. the court made the big step
