Received this e-mail today from decorated Admiral, former COngressman and U.S. Senate candidate, Joe Sestak's (D. PA) campaign where he highlights Tea Party Senator Pat Toomey's extreme anti-woman voting record in the U.S. Senate:
My name is Mary Toomey. Although he’s not a relative, I share a last name with Sen. Toomey -- but I don’t share any of his views, especially as a woman who believes in women’s rights.
The other Toomey opposes bipartisan bills such as:
The Violence Against Women Act, which gives legal protections to victims of
sexual assault and domestic violence;
The Paycheck Fairness Act, which ensures women’s equal pay for equal work; and
funding Women Business Development Centers;
and wants to:
abolish Roe v. Wade and jail doctors who observe it;
eliminate women’s free preventive care such as prenatal care and mammograms;
defund Planned Parenthood; and
gut the Employment Non-Discrimination Act that prohibits employers
from discriminating against women.
It’s no wonder that his voting record has him tied with Senators Rand Paul and Marco Rubio as the most extreme in Washington.
I support Admiral Joe Sestak – as the National Organization for Women and other women’s rights groups did – because of Joe’s advancement of women’s rights as a Congressman. The Joe I know is accountable to the people – all people, regardless of gender, race or sexual orientation.
As opposed to my namesake, Sen. Toomey, who is trying to turn back the clock on the progress made for women’s rights, the Admiral will fight to improve them and end obstructionism in the Senate.
Please join me in being a part of Admiral Joe’s campaign for leadership. Click here to contribute $5, $10, $25 or whatever you can to support him seeking the U.S. Senate. Together, we can bring progress to Washington.
