Lest we must not forget those Senators and those that essentially said that if we pull the wool over their eyes for six months it is okay for women not to receive equal pay.
I've just seen some new analysis on the Ledbetter case. I am not sure why some of this information slipped by me, but I did want to draw some more attention to this matter.
We have members of our United States Senate who felt it important to fillibuster new legislation that would have given those such as Lilly Ledbetter more time to bring forth their claims of unequal pay. By doing some research on this matter, I discovered some disturbing comments that Jeff Sessions made. That is nothing unusual, but for some reason we continue to give him another look over.
Jeff Sessions has an extensive record of making insensitive remarks regarding civil rights. He also has a fine record of protecting special interests especially those concerns of his big business cronies. In this particular instance those two characteristics of Jeff Sessions come together in symphony like unison.
I'm going to again ask for some help in sending Sessions home. I know that a lot of people have assumed that Jeff Sessions cannot be defeated with his deep pockets. Based on polling information that was given last week, the only reason that is the case is because people do not know about his record. They also do not know about Vivian Figures the candidate that we have running against him.
I am asking for progressive voices to help me draw attention to this race as any help would be appreciated. We cannot give free passes to people like Sessions that do not care about working people regardless of how red that state may be perceived.
Here is the article which re-sparked my attention to this matter:
