I did go so far to check that the yarn and fabric products I use are not made in Indiana. And quite frankly, if I find anything else in this house that comes from that state it will be used no more. And as far as the religious people who think they have been bullied into silence…religion has no place in government. You have a right to your beliefs but keep it in your homes and churches and don’t force it on the rest of America. Separation of church and state - and if religion wants to play politics they should start paying taxes.

I did go so far to check that the yarn and fabric products I use are not made in Indiana. And quite frankly, if I find anything else in this house that comes from that state it will be used no more. And as far as the religious people who think they have been bullied into silence…religion has no place in government. You have a right to your beliefs but keep it in your homes and churches and don’t force it on the rest of America. Separation of church and state - and if religion wants to play politics they should start paying taxes.
