Write This Down Somewhere
The next time someone tries to tell you that this election isn’t important because Barack Obama is going to walk away with it so they don’t need to vote, show them this:
The Senate narrowly voted this morning to block a Republican challenge to President Obama’s birth-control mandate.
The legislation, sponsored by Republican Roy Blunt of Missouri, was voted down 51 to 48. It would have let employers refuse to include contraception in health care coverage based on their “religious belief or moral conviction.”
That’s how close women are to being controlled by religious fanatics. That’s close enough to raise a blister.
Donate to your Democratic candidate for senate. Here’s ours in Texas: Paul Sadler. Great Guy.
