Senate Republicans Unite to Defeat Equal Pay for Women: Amy Siskind
Fresh off their November election victories, which enjoyed majority support from women for the first time in decades, Republicans in the U.S. Senate promptly failed in their first opportunity to show theyre serious about issues important to female Americans, writes Amy Siskind, president and co-founder of The New Agenda.
For the first time since 1982, exit polling showed women voters favored the GOP in the 2010 election. What does the GOP do with this historic opportunity? Blow it! according to Siskind.
(LOL, suckers)
This week, the Senate refused to debate the Paycheck Fairness Act, which aims to lessen the disparity between mens and womens salaries. Although the vote was 58 in favor and 41 against, the motion needed 60 votes to proceed. Not a single Republican voted to hear the billa stupid move on the GOPs part, Siskind argues.
Wise up there GOPif you have any hopes of taking the White House in 2012, youll need women voters. But after shooting down the Paycheck Fairness Act today and perpetuating a boys club in Congress, you aint showing us much.
