Subject: Tell McCain: Stop insulting women Dear Readers,
Last Wednesday, Senate Republicans filibustered the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, a law that would have overturned an appalling Supreme Court decision that practically abolished remedies for gender-based compensation discrimination in the workplace. In opposing this legislation, Senator John McCain said that if women want better-paying jobs, they just need more "education and training." Then, he didn't even show up for the vote.
Let's tell Senator McCain that should stop blocking an up or down vote on the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act if he wants to ensure equal rights for women under the law.
Please have a look and take action.

Thanks!
ShantiFeel free to forward the above letter to others, it's simply the plea provided when you sign the petition. Now onto my own thoughts about Mc Cain:
John McCain lost my vote when he said he reversed his views on torture. As someone who lived as a prisoner of war, he used to oppose torture. Now he's fine with it as long as it's not Americans being tortured? That is a rather large thing to change your mind on, and to me morally and ethically inept. A disagreement worthy of moving one's vote. Then he said he would be happy if we stayed in IRAQ for 100 years, and proved himself supportive of continuing the trend towards Martial Law that Bush has taken this country on. I decided McCain was dangerous and worth opposing.
As Benjamin Franklin said, "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Now he's openly making sexist remarks? Is he TRYING to lose the election? I believe all humans should have equal rights and protection under the law. So please go to

take a look, and take action. Let McCain know how you feel.
