The other day I wrote about a law being considered by the State of Arizona, the "Religious Freedom Restoration Act" SB1062,  which passed the legislature along party lines 17-13.  The bill is awaiting the signature of Gov. Brewer.  The bill is designed to protect businesses, corporations, and people from lawsuits who refuse to provide services based on sincere religious beliefs.  The bill was written by the Center for Arizona Policy and the Christian legal organization Alliance Defending Freedom. 

The public immediately took the bill to be aimed at the LGBT community and caused quite an uproar.  So now, Sen.Steve Pierce (R) has had second thoughts and he and two other Republican Senators have sent a letter to Gov. Brewer asking that she veto the law.  Senator Pierce said, "I screwed up. I'm trying to make it right."

Why the sudden change of heart you may ask?  Something near and dear  to all politician's hearts - MONEY.  Money trumps religion every time.

Turns out Arizona business owners have spoken up about fears that the bill would scare business from the state including their bid for a Super Bowl in coming years.  "Sources" say that several businesses have already pulled out of Arizona because of the controversy.
