Brownback (R-KS)
Bunning (R-KY)
Burr (R-NC)

Shelby (R-AL)

If you are a woman or if you are married to one or you have one as a sibling or an an offspring, I respectfully suggest that these people are your enemies.

Not all who voted for the bill were friendly, by the way. For example, Susan Collins of Maine voted for it; she is a reliable supporter of all things Republican, except around election time, when she tries to con Mainers into believing otherwise.

John McCain didn't vote. He says he is "all in favor" of equal pay for women, he is just not in favor of any mechanism to ensure it ever happens. That's sort of like being against murder but not willing to arrest anybody for it. McCain's remedy is "more training."

Women get paid less for the same work. That is a fact of life, a fact that the Republicans are happy to have remain the status quo.

Let's be plain about it: If you are a woman and you vote for a Republican, you are voting against your own economic self interest.

I wish you would re-post this article each and every day. It is far too important to let slide any way, shape or form, and I think it is a talking point of highest value for the dems. I can't imagine any excuse to oppose it.
