President's Bold and Clear Vision Stands in Stark Contrast to GOP Schemes
Press Release | January 25, 2012

National Stonewall Democrats Executive Director Jerame Davis release this statement following President Obama's State of the Union address on Tuesday:

"Equality is a value at the heart of our movement and tonight, the President described a blueprint for America that is undeniably pro-equality - everyone should have an equal opportunity to succeed and everyone should pay their fair share. This bold and clear vision for America's future stands in stark contrast to the tired and disproven schemes being peddled by the GOP. From a sensible and fair tax policy to rebuilding America's infrastructure, the President's blueprint for a lasting economy is exactly what our country needs to put millions back to work and make the American Dream a reality for generations to come."

Romney Can't Win For Losing
Press Release | January 21, 2012

National Stonewall Democrats Executive Director Jerame Davis released the following statement regarding the results of the South Carolina GOP Primary: 

"Mitt Romney's phony, plastic persona is not playing well with the GOP base. They don't seem to want a corporate raider with no core values of his own who will say anything to get himself elected. South Carolina Republicans would rather nominate an ethically challenged serial philanderer who resigned his last position of power in disgrace like Newt Gingrich. It's rather stunning, if you think about it."

"I'll agree with Romney on one thing he said tonight - this race just got a lot more interesting."

Rick Perry's One Last Oops!
Press Release | January 19, 2012

Texas Governor Rick Perry has ended his bid for the GOP presidential nomination and has endorsed Newt Gingrich. National Stonewall Democrats Executive Director Jerame Davis issued the following statement in reaction to the announcement:

"Rick Perry has embarrassed himself repeatedly on the campaign trail and his exit from the campaign is no different. As the final act of idiocy in his quixotic bid for the GOP nomination, Perry chose to endorse Newt Gingrich - a thrice married serial philanderer who demanded an open marriage with one of his previous wives. It just goes to show how closely he holds his much touted 'family values.' Oops!"

Huntsman Exit Signals Retreat of Reason from GOP Primary
Press Release | January 16, 2012

In reaction to Jon Huntsman's exit from the Republican presidential nomination contest, National Stonewall Democrats Executive Director Jerame Davis issued the following statement:

"Jon Huntsman was far too reasonable and thoughtful for the GOP base, but his worst transgression was having served as President Obama's Ambassador to China. The last gasp of bipartisanship has escaped the lips of the Republican Party today. His exit signals the final retreat of reason from the Republican presidential nomination contest. 

"Though expected, his tepid and tenuous endorsement of Mitt Romney was underscored by Romney's decision not to bother showing up to receive it. It seems Romney treats his electoral endorsers about as well as he treated the companies he demolished at Bain."
