45% : A group of Indiana Republicans has sent a letter of censure to U.S. Senator Todd Young after he voted in favor of federal legislation designed to protect same-sex marriages.
41% : Richey's letter also took aim at the "progressive left" and called the Respect for Marriage Act an "unnecessary bill, which will have a chilling effect on religious freedom and further undermine the traditional family."
35% : The letter claimed that Young had changed his mind on the issue after previously stating that same-sex marriage should be handled at a state level rather than by the federal government.
33% : The letter went on to note Indiana Republicans' previous support for Young and his conservative voting record, saying: "We appreciate your opposition to abortion and your support of the right to bear arms, but this vote, on your part, could destroy support for you across a wide spectrum of Republican voters."
28% : In his op-ed, Young acknowledged that some people in his own party "have let me know they are disappointed in my decision" but he defended the bill's protections for people of faith as well as same-sex marriage.
