Could Disney Workers Help Vote Ron DeSantis Out of Florida?
I wish Disney had spoken up BEFORE the bill was signed.

............After originally remaining silent on HB 1557, which aims to ban the discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity in certain grades at Florida schools, Disney eventually came out against the legislation and vowed to seek to have it repealed.
In response, DeSantis, who signed the bill into law on March 28, has frequently attacked the company, including saying it had "crossed the line" with its opposition to state legislation.................
"Disney employs 77,000 Floridians. DeSantis won his race in 2018 by 32,000 votes," tweeted attorney Daniel Uhlfelder, who is also running for Florida attorney general.
In 2018, DeSantis did indeed beat Democrat Andrew Gillum by 4,076,186 votes to 4,043,723, a margin of just 0.4 percent of the total ballots cast.....................
....................The outcome of Florida's gubernatorial election this year could have national implications. DeSantis is the most popular option among potential Republican presidential candidates in the 2024 election if former President Donald Trump is not in the race, according to a poll released last month.

(17,863 posts)difference in party affiliation between the Disney employee population and the general Florida voter? In general the creatives and younger people are going to be strongly opposed the law, but there are a mix of other groups that are either neutral or in favor of the law.

(67,108 posts)This entire thing is insane, that we now ban words too along with books. Yet another total WTF. Please, someone tell me how he simply overrules the first amendment, plus promotes lawsuits against free speech. Does a governor just overrule the first amendment? ... does it only apply to congress?
