Today's LEGISLATOR OF THE DAY
* * * drum roll * * *
C. A. "Dutch" Ruppersberger (MD-D-02)
For those of you who are wondering what ENDA is, it is the Employment Non-Discrimination Act of 2009, HR 3017, that would prohibit job discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. Wikipedia has a more thorough explanation.
This series is designed to give information about legislators who are undecided about ENDA, and need some education about it. Please contact them and ask them to support ENDA.
Rep. Ruppersberger is from a heavily Democratic district, and has run substantially without opposition. While he abstained on hate crimes bills in 07 and 09, he voted yes on ENDA in 2007. However, his office indicated in early July that he was still undecided on HR 3017.
