To: Rick Perry, Michele Fiore, and Greg Abbott
GOP Leaders: Stop supporting Cliven Bundy!
Here's cowboy renegade Cliven Bundy's opinion on "the Negro": “They abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton... And I’ve often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things?"
It's not shocking that most of the defacto insurgent's supporters have now retracted their allegiance. What is surprising is that three of his biggest backers are ignoring his hate speech altogether: Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, Nevada State Assemblywoman Michele Fiore, and Texas Governor Rick Perry.
These Republicans claim virulent racism and violent military rhetoric are a "side issue," not at the core of a man who has threatened to use force to continue to cheat federal law. We say it's time for them to wake up and denounce this non-hero immediately. Will you join us?

Why is this important?
Surprise, surprise: the same Cliven Bundy refusing to pay taxes, who won't follow federal law, and is openly threatening militia violence, also happens to be super, super racist.
