The Democratic Party
-----------------------
Robert --

This week, the Senate voted overwhelmingly to reauthorize
the Violence Against Women Act. Here's how the vote went:
Sixty-eight in favor, thirty-one against.

Each of the 31 senators who voted against it were
Republican men.

Every time these guys get the chance to put women's health
before politics, they fail to.

Democrats are facing an important FEC fundraising deadline
this Monday at midnight.

I should add that these 31 men are the only senators to
ever cast a vote against reauthorizing this act: The Senate
reauthorized it unanimously twice in the last twelve years.

The Republican party of today is a different breed
altogether.

If it comes down to scoring points with the GOP base or
protecting women, they're going to choose the base every
time.

Next, this legislation goes to the House.  The House GOP is 
planning on introducing a bill with the same name, but their 
version of the Violence Against Women Act will likely strip 
out the very provisions protecting Native Americans, undocumented 
immigrants, and LGBT Americans we just fought for.

Before the House votes on the bill, before the GOP even
introduces it, we need to spread the word far and wide on
how they're trying to dupe us into thinking they're doing
the right thing. From now until November, we're going to
call them out on the air, online, and on the ground.

The Democratic Party is planning to make sure everyone knows
who's really fighting for women this year.

Join the fight by making a contribution today:
