She's on #TeamEquality. #WereWithHer
With the long Presidential primary season having drawn to a close, I'm so excited to announce SAVE Action PAC's biggest 2016 endorsement yet:
SAVE Action PAC is proud to endorse Hillary Clinton for President on November 8th!
Secretary Clinton has secured our endorsement after defeating another fantastic pro-equality candidate, Senator Bernie Sanders, in a vigorous and productive debate over a positive vision for the future of America. We welcome Senator Sanders' voice in favor of equality on the campaign trail this fall and commend him for his service to his country and LGBTQ Americans.
All on the same stage: Pam Bondi, Donald Trump, Marco Rubio and Rick Scott
This week, the Republican Party gathers in Cleveland to nominate Donald Trump for President. Last night, Melania Trump kicked things off with a speech plagiarized from Michelle Obama, that she claimed to have written herself with "little help."
This comes days after Trump announced his running mate, Indiana Governor Mike Pence, beloved by the anti-gay fringe for his legalization of discrimination against LGBTQ Hoosiers last year.
Those speaking in support of Trump and Pence include Florida's top Republicans: Attorney General Pam Bondi, Governor Rick Scott, and Senator Marco Rubio.

Florida's top anti-LGBT leader -- and his mega donors -- support Rubio.
I have some very bad news about the race for Senator for Florida coming up in November.
One of Florida's most notorious anti-LGBT activists, John Stemberger, has directed his network of anti-gay extremists and big-money donors known as "Florida Family Action" to support the re-election Senator Marco Rubio this November.
Will you help fight the tsunami of anti-LGBT cash headed Marco Rubio's way? Click here to give $25, $100, or even $250 now to the #TeamEquality Victory Fund so we have the resources to stem the anti-LGBT tide. >>

Marco Rubio: enough.
This week, we learned that Florida’s junior senator, Marco Rubio, has decided to take back his pledge to retire from the Senate.
It’s another broken promise, from a politician who just couldn't bring himself to deny he “hates” the Senate and won the honor of skipping the most votes of any senator -- so that he could devote his time to losing badly in a presidential bid called by many an “ego trip.”
Now, in a stunning display of ambulance chasing, Marco Rubio has used the Orlando tragedy as an opportunity to announce his intention to run for re-election -- while he voted to kill expanded background checks on gun purchasers days earlier.
That behavior says nothing of Rubio’s unique animus towards LGBTQ Floridians and Americans. Since arriving on the scene, Senator Rubio has:
> Pledged to end marriage equality if elected President
> Called the children of LGBTQ parents a “social experiment”
> Raised money for so-called conversion “therapy” -- a sham practice claiming to change sexual orientation which has been unanimously condemned by professional and medical associations as bordering on torture
> Vowed to pass a so-called “First Amendment defense act” explicitly protecting Kentucky’s Kim Davis and similar bigoted and discriminatory actions by public officials
The list of Marco Rubio’s toxic attacks on LGBTQ Americans spans more than a decade. We cannot allow this man to return to Washington for another six years. The future of our community depends on it.
