OK Indiana and Gubner Pence. We will fight your disgusting new Sharia Law.
I sell on eBay. I am now going to refuse to ship to Indiana and I will post the reason on my item description page. If just ONE potential customer gets the message it will be worth it.
I'm challenging others to do your part in your own way.
DUers: This is Hugh! Even George Takai has offered to lead a boycott of Indiana. Let's show the naïve (or stupid) Mike Pence that he has gone too far.
= new reply since forum marked as read
Many National organizations are gearing up to boycott the NCAA will soon be making an announcement. Twitter is going viral over that asshole.
Thank you once again for your actions. 
There is a jewelery, precious metal, gift store in Winchester, IN that me, my wife, brother and some friends have been a customer for years. In my case more than 15 years because they had good prices on Black Hills Gold. We also bought other gold and silver from them.
I called them today after a friend called me that was over there on Thur. afternoon. They were talking to the owner and he said that he supported it and thought pence would make a good president. My friend didn't say anything. He just put his items that he was going to buy on the counter, said that it's too bad he does and walked out. Knowing my friend he probably had a good amount of money he was going to spend as his wife's birthday is April 4 and he's no cheapskate and has a good job.
I called the store, the owner knows me by name and I just came out and asked him if supported the law and he said no. Then he denied that he had a conversation with my friend. I told him I couldn't stand liars and bigots and hung up.
I then called a flea market that we had started setting up in last year ad told them we would be pulling out until the law changed. They offered us a real good deal but I told them I won't spend another penny in that state until the law changes. They told me that 4 others had pulled out Thurs. also.
We were, or to be precise, my wife, is wanting to take a break for a few months then maybe start doing a few festivals that we haven't done for a few years. I'm hoping by then I'll be up and be able to help her. Those festivals are fun to do.
Maybe if enough small vendors around the state do this it'll make a difference. I know I'll be in contact with all that I know around the state to keep up what's going on.
Hit 'em where it hurts. 
Don't worry about depressing me - it is so nice to be remembered! 
You flatter me!
Everything you report is exactly as I remember it - really, what happened?
I will tell you this, and I think this happened in a lot of places. My Dem State Rep. was a very popular, local guy. Ran a real campaign, debated issues, knocked on doors. He beat another local guy. The guy he beat was in Daniels's camp. I can still see the way they behaved around here during the campaign - they were horrid!
Anyway, Daniels made sure that our guy was redistricted out of a job. Poof! Our local Dem's district was gone.
Gerrymandering at its finest.
Depressing.
Great to discuss issues with you, I hope to be around more often!
And it sure has had a lasting impact. Dramatically balanced for the GOP - and apparently for the tea party wing of the party.
Agreed, very depressing.
On a personal note - I agree - it is very nice to cross paths, and discuss issues with you!
Pretty sure that what folks today mean by "sharia law" is "religious law." "Sharia law" does not necessarily mean must have an execution.
means the moral code and religious law of a prophetic religion.[2][3][4] The term "sharia" has been largely identified with Islam in English usage.[5]
Sharia (Islamic law) deals with several topics including: crime, politics, and economics, as well as personal matters such as sexual intercourse, hygiene, diet, prayer, everyday etiquette and fasting.
Adherence to Islamic law has served as one of the distinguishing characteristics of the Muslim faith historically, and through the centuries Muslims have devoted much scholarly time and effort on its elaboration.[6] Interpretations of sharia (fiqh) vary between Islamic sects and respective schools of jurisprudence, yet in its strictest and most historically coherent definition, sharia is considered the infallible law of God.[7]
Sharia Law is a significant source of legislation in various Muslim countries, namely Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Iran, Brunei, United Arab Emirates and Qatar. In those countries, harsh physical punishments such as flogging and stoning are said to be legally acceptable according to Sharia. There are two primary sources of sharia law: the precepts set forth in the Quranic verses (ayat), and the example set by the Islamic prophet Muhammad in the Sunnah.[8] Where it has official status, sharia is interpreted by Islamic judges (qadis) with varying responsibilities for the religious leaders (imams). For questions not directly addressed in the primary sources, the application of sharia is extended through consensus of the religious scholars (ulama) thought to embody the consensus of the Muslim Community (ijma). Islamic jurisprudence will also sometimes incorporate analogies from the Quran and Sunnah through qiyas, though many scholars also prefer reasoning ('aql) to analogy.[7][8]
The introduction of Sharia is a longstanding goal for Islamist movements globally, including in Western countries, but attempts to impose sharia have been accompanied by controversy,[9] violence,[10] and even warfare.[11] Most countries do not recognize sharia; however, some countries in Asia, Africa and Europe recognize sharia and use it as the basis for divorce, inheritance and other personal affairs of their Islamic population.[12] In Britain, the Muslim Arbitration Tribunal makes use of sharia family law to settle disputes, and this limited adoption of sharia is controversial.[13]
The concept of crime, judicial process, justice and punishment embodied in sharia is different from that of secular law.[14] The differences between sharia and secular laws have led to an ongoing controversy as to whether sharia is compatible with secular forms of government, the human right "freedom of thought," and in general "women's rights."[15][16][17]
