RALEIGH, (SGRToday.com) - Senate Leader Phil Berger's campaign committee has created www.standwithmccrory.com to support Gov. Pat McCrory's signing of House Bill 2, the subject of intense criticism.

The site urges citizens to sign a petition supporting the governor.

"The ACLU and other radical, left-wing special-interest groups are suing North Carolina to create an extreme national mandate forcing women and young girls to share locker rooms and bathrooms with grown men," reads the site.

"Thank NC Governor Pat McCrory and Legislative Leaders for fighting to keep our children safe and passing a common-sense law to stop grown men from sharing locker rooms and bathrooms with young girls."

Critics say the bill, signed into law by the governor, discriminates against transgendered individuals.

The website also presents "The Facts About North Carolina's House Bill 2":

    Protects Women and Young Girls from local laws and extreme groups trying to force them to use the same bathrooms and locker rooms as men

    Protects Individual Rights by adding statewide anti-discrimination, safety, and privacy laws.

    Protects Businesses and the Taxpayers from the overreach of radical local policies and implements statewide discrimination protections that are stronger than federal law.
