Talk:Al Melvin (politician)

Semi-protected edit request on 27 February 2014
Please replace "In February, 2014, Melvin was interviewed by Anderson Cooper on CNN, regarding Melvin's support for Arizona bill passed by the state legislature that has been characterized as allowing religious people to discriminate against others, if their beliefs were offended by those other people."

with "In February, 2014, Melvin was interviewed by Anderson Cooper on CNN regarding Melvin's support for a recent Arizona bill passed by the state legislature. This bill has been characterized as allowing religious people to discriminate against others, if they feel their religious beliefs are threatened. The bill states:

' "Unreasonable burden" means that a person is prevented from using the person's property in a manner that the person finds satisfactory to fulfill the person's religious mission.

...

A PERSON THAT ASSERTS A VIOLATION OF THIS SECTION MUST ESTABLISH ALL OF THE FOLLOWING: 1. THAT THE PERSON'S ACTION OR REFUSAL TO ACT IS MOTIVATED BY A RELIGIOUS BELIEF. '

For example, a religious manager may refuse to hire a person who expresses a different belief that the manager feels is threatening. "

The reason for this change is that there are several grammatical errors. Also a short quote from the bill and an explanation of what it means will help to improve this article.

 * There is a Wikipedia article on Arizona SB 1062, which links to the full text of the bill. Wbm1058 (talk) 21:12, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

This article was edited to link to Arizona SB 1062, which describes the bill in detail. This article, which is a biography of a politician, doesn't need to get into a more detailed description of the bill, as that may be found by simply linking to the article about the bill. The grammar was fixed. Wbm1058 (talk) 21:29, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

Added his date and place of death
I added his death information as well as the reference source, but I'm not sure I did it correctly. I'd appreciate it if someone could tidy it up for me. GinnieAS (talk) 04:35, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
