Republicans: Start Respecting Women!
You NEED to watch this video, but be warned. It's disturbing and shocking.
Republican Linda McMahon is running for the US Senate, and she's funding her race with the millions she earned peddling the "entertainment" you just watched. Sadly, McMahon is not alone on the GOP ticket:
Sharron Angle, running for Senate in Nevada, suggested that women who are raped - including teenage incest victims - shouldn't be allowed to consider an abortion. Instead, they should just turn "a lemon situation into lemonade." Outrageous.
As a district attorney, Colorado Senate candidate Ken Buck refused to prosecute a rape even though the accused rapist admitted to police that the woman said no multiple times. He said a jury could think she just had "a case of buyer's remorse."
Republicans are running candidates who have an utter lack of respect for women. Urge RNC Chairman Michael Steele and his party to start respecting women and women's issues!
Dear Michael Steele,
Republican Linda McMahon is running for the United States Senate, and she's funding her race with the millions she earned peddling the outrageous violence, explicit sexual content and extremely misogynistic "entertainment" to kids watching the World Wrestling Federation.

But this is only the most recent example of disturbing Republican views on women and women's issues. Sharron Angle, running for Senate in NV, suggested that women who are raped - including teenage incest victims - shouldn't be allowed to consider an abortion. Instead, they should just turn "a lemon situation into lemonade." Outrageous.
I'm writing you today to urge you to talk to your candidates and urge them to start respecting women and women's issues.
