I've got Levin and Stabenow, now. Close, but no cigar. Why does ONE of them always have to be a CorporoDem? It just reinforces my adamant anti-partisan stance. If I can't be 100% true to being a Liberal, I won't ever call myself a "Dem" or "Rep" of anything else that harbors insider saboteurs.

Oh well.

My advice, Senator Boxer, is to document the claim. 500 bills? That is an incredible claim. I sincerely hope -- dare I say pray -- that you can document the claim.

If what you claim is true, why don't you put up a Web site whose sole purpose is to document the claims. That would do a whole lotta good in the battle which every one of us have no doubt. But it's those people with doubt, those women who have not pierced the veil of the Republican fog screen, who need to know the facts.

Please do it, Senator.

This has the laws for all states.


Here's an article about a recent march for women.

It's actually almost a thousand, I think.

That way the Repugs cannot accuse you of hyperbole. When they challenge your claim, you say, "Go to waronwomen.org where we document everything."

Do not forget, the Republicans are generally better financed, and better marketted than the Democratic brand. Our best weapon is the facts.

We use those facts to back up our rhetoric.

All of these disparate, uncoordinated, totally random and not connected at all (so stop saying that) events are being forced together by the libruls to try to make it look like Republicans are waging legislative war on women's health and economic status! This is just so despicable of Sen. Boxer to notice all this stuff, but since the librul media is just sooo in the tank for the libruls, the nation turns its lonely eyes to Fox, which is currently being destroyed by enemies of freedom in the UK. JimRob, save us! Sister Sarah, where are you? Help, help, help!
