USDA Inspector Fails Meat Packer Over Marriage Equality --- ===

2/15/2017 USDA Inspector Fails Meat Packer Over Marriage Equality  Alliance Defending Freedom President, CEO, and General Counsel Michael Farris sent a letter Wednesday to President Donald Trump that asks him to sign the proposed religious freedom executive order and reverse a U.S. Department of Agriculture order that prohibits a family-owned Michigan meatpacking facility from including religious literature concerning marriage on a breakroom table.  In 2015 Dr. Ryan Lundquist, the USDA site inspector threatened to remove all inspectors if West Michigan Beef Company owner Donald Vander Boon didn’t permanently refrain from placing in the company’s breakroom religious literature supporting marriage between one man and one woman that the department deemed “offensive.”
