Today's LEGISLATOR OF THE DAY
* * * drum roll * * *
Bart Stupak (MI-D-01)
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. Stupak is in a very conservative District, which he wrested from the Republicans in 1992. He is one of several pro-life Democrats, but he voted yes on hate crimes bills in 07 and 09 and yes on ENDA in 2007.
Please call and ask him to support ENDA, HR 3017, in 2009.
