BREAKING: House Republicans Block Paycheck Fairness Act

This is disgusting.

EVERY SINGLE House Republican just voted to block the Paycheck Fairness Act.

This bill is critical to helping close the wage gap for women in the workplace, but Republicans don’t think that’s an issue worth caring about.

We’ve got more work to do to get this bill passed. Will you step up and help make sure that women receive equal pay for equal work?

Your support has helped us elect a record-breaking number of women to Congress and forced Republicans to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act.

Now, we need you to step up again, overcome blatant Republican sexism and get this bill passed.

Let’s do this.

Honestly, I know a few women that hate shit like this because it means they cant do it without government help. I cant help but understand where they are coming from. REally liberal minded girls too.

Besides, ALL of these assholes in congress are all insanely sexist anyways, so it comes back to "why the hell are we asking these sociopaths for anything?"

These things need to be done if for no other reason than to serve notice that their tenure is limited - much more swiftly with poor performance.
