Call Out 30 GOP Senators Who Voted Against Rape Victims
Target:30 GOP Senators who voted against amendment; CC: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell Sponsored by:Care2
On October 7, 30 Republican senators opposed an amendment to the Defense Appropriations bill that would prohibit defense contractors like Halliburton/KBR from getting federal money "if they restrict their employees from taking workplace sexual assault, battery and discrimination cases to court."
Senator Al Franken introduced the amendment to the appropriations bill to prevent a complete disregard for the rights of rape victims after hearing the story of a Halliburton/KBR employee who claimed she was gang raped but her employment contract prevented her from taking legal action.
Ten GOP Senators voted for the amendment, and it passed -- but the 30 others must know how outraged we are that they didn't vote for giving legal rights to rape victims! These senators are: Alexander (R-TN), Barrasso (R-WY), Bond (R-MO), Brownback (R-KS), Bunning (R-KY), Burr (R-NC), Chambliss (R-GA), Coburn (R-OK), Cochran (R-MS), Corker (R-TN), Cornyn (R-TX), Crapo (R-ID), DeMint (R-SC), Ensign (R-NV), Enzi (R-WY), Graham (R-SC), Gregg (R-NH), Inhofe (R-OK), Isakson (R-GA), Johanns (R-NE), Kyl (R-AZ), McCain (R-AZ), McConnell (R-KY), Risch (R-ID), Roberts (R-KS), Sessions (R-AL), Shelby (R-AL), Thune (R-SD), Vitter (R-LA) and Wicker (R-MS).
If you are a constituent of one of these senators, we'll send your letter directly to him. If your senators both voted for the amendment, we'll send your letter to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell -- who also voted against it and leads the GOP in the Senate. Sign today!
