Former Congressman Lee Zeldin speaks out about protecting girls/women and voting NO on Prop 1.
Zeldin recently said in a post on , “On the November ballot in New York, Kathy Hochul and Albany Dems added Proposition 1, which would change the state constitution to establish a right for boys to compete in girls sports, access girls bathrooms, and change in girls locker rooms. Protect Women and Vote NO on Prop 1!” Read the post HERE and make sure you “like” & “retweet it”.
Our Attorney Bobbie Anne Cox filed a lawsuit to keep Prop 1 off the November ballot. She won the lawsuit in the Supreme Court, but the Appellate Court reversed the decision. Now the Court of Appeals refuses to hear the case. Attorney Cox agrees with Lee Zeldin and wants to protect girls/women sports. Read her post HERE. Then “like” & “retweet it”.
