David Valadao to get it right from the cows mouths it may or may not surprise you, some are more out spoken then others but some are closet case bigots when someone calls them out on the carpet about it, and some with not make it there main campaign theme  like some has in the passed, full equality under federal law is coming more and more everyday though these few &quot;red&quot;pockets that are left in this country will take longer to come around kern tulare counties , porterville , parts of Indiana, just to name a few   



&quot;dear MR station 

Thank you for contacting me to express your support for H.R 3017, the Employment Non-discrimination Act. Iam pleased to discuss this bill with you.

H.R 3017 prohibits employers from discriminating against employees based on actual perceived gender identity or sexual orientation. There are protections already in place to prevent discrimination.

The U.S supreme court has ruled repeatedly that the constitution provides equal protection under the fifth and fourteenth amendments. In its sex discrimination decisions,the U.S Supreme court not only has defined the applicability of the equal protection guarantees of the constitution and the nondiscriminatory polices of federal statutes, but also has rejected the use of gender stereotypes and gender hostility in the workplace and in schools. Therefore i do not believe this legislation is necessary.

though we may not agree on this issue, I appreciate our candid discssion. please feel free to call or write agian if you have any additional questions or concerns. You may also visit my website at www.nunes.house.gov for current information on house activities.

           sincerely,
     devin nunes&quot;
