No Hoosier should ever have to forget the legacy of the great Mike Pence! In commemoration, we the people of this great Hoosier State (Indiana) propose the name of the recently discovered 'Hoosier Cavefish' be also forever known as 'The Pencefish'.
The Hoosier cavefish (Amblyopsis hoosieri) is a subterranean species of blind fish from southern Indiana in the United States. Described in 2014, A. hoosieri was the first new species of cavefish from the U.S. to be discovered in 40 years.
The "Pencefish" moniker is derived from a trait shared between the species and Indiana Governor Mike Pence, both of which have have a facial orifice used to expel feces.
Please help make this dream a reality for the people of Indiana and their great leader, Mike Pence. By signing your name, you are telling the fine folks at Wikipedia that you and all of your friends/family consider this great species "The Pencefish."

What's worse than having a fish that poops out of its face named after you? Having a governor who thinks you rate below that fish in priorities and basic rights.
I hold much respect for this noble fish. Perhaps the pencefish will make an effective governor some day.
Such a fitting tribute for such and utterly disappointing human being! BRAVO SIR!
Proud Hoosier here. A useless, bottom feeding fish with no sight ... this is a perfect representation of our State leader.
Somebody think of the poor fish!! What did it do to deserve the punishment of being named after Mike Pence?
Bigots should not be as second in command.
It's really the only name we could give it.It nothing else seems to fit.

West Lafayette, IN As a constituent, I can't tell you how fitting an honor this would be.
