We ‘refuse to comply’: Christian bakers won’t be bullied by gag order
BizPac Review ^ | July 7, 2015 | Michael Schaus

Posted on 07/08/2015 10:30:57 AM PDT by goodnesswins

It’s going to take more than a gag order from a state bureaucrat to shut up two Christian bakers under assault for refusing to make a wedding cake for a lesbian couple in Oregon.

As reported by Bizpac Review on Saturday, Aaron and Melissa Klein were not only hit with a $135,000 fine for refusing to bake the cake, but they were also ordered by Oregon Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian to stop speaking out about the case.

The Kleins, owners of Sweet Cakes by Melissa, told Fox News’ Todd Starnes they have no intention of obeying what they see as a clear violation of their First Amendment rights.

By what authority can a Labor Commissioner order people to not speak about a case once it has been resolved in his or her tribunal?

We have talked on these threads of adopting the Left’s Alinsky tactics to push back.

A noisy protest on Brad Avakian’s front lawn would be a good place to start.

Exactly. This pissant bureaucrat should take a long walk off a short pier.

Or perhaps we could all show up at the theater where his daughter is making her stage debut and....ummmmm....let our feelings be known.

That’s EXACTLY what Saul Alinsky would have done.

It can’t be long now until “it’s on.”

All we can hope is that there will be few casualties. But once that fuse is lit, anything could happen.

Not saying we SHOULD involve his daughter. Only that that’s the kind of thing Alinsky advocated.

Oregon Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian needs to be sued into the very fires of Hell for trying to steal the baker's free speech!

Oregon Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian, another tinpot tyrant like the tiny minded Sheldon Whitehouse who wants to put a gag order on anyone who disagrees with his (incorrect) scientific opinion about the Global Warming Hoax.

Oregon was having trouble
What a sad, sad story
Needed a new leader to restore
Its former glory
Where, oh, where was he?
Where could that man be?
We looked around and then we found
The man for you and me

LEAD TENOR STORMTROOPER:
And now it's...
Springtime for Avakian and Oregon
The Pacific Northwest is happy and gay!
We're marching to a faster pace
Look out, you'll lose the insanity race!
Springtime for Avakian and Oregon
Oregon's a fine land once more!
Springtime for Avakian and Oregon
Watch out, America!
