Republicans Vote Against equal pay for equal work for women like Sarah Palin.

Dear Sarah Palin:
Thanks to your Republican friends in the Federal Government who voted against a Bill that would give equal pay to Women, you as a Woman no longer have the right to have equal pay for equal work. Apparently, the Republican Men in congress believe that you women don't deserve equal pay for equal work. I wonder why that is? Why not ask a Republican Male next time you line up to vote?
As a Man I guess I'm lucky! When I work I get paid exactly what I'm worth. You ladies however, thanks to all male Republicans in Congress and the Senate, are now back to being second class citizens. You are again on a par with Gays and Lesbians and immigrants who are all struggling to claim equal rights within society. Oh! And speaking of the military! If an American War Vet returns with his legs blown off, He or She will have to survive without government assistance because the Republicans voted against a Bill that would have helped the Vets survive with more money and slightly more dignity. Yes, it has been a busy week for the "Party Of No"! They are doing more to damage the poor and middle class people of the United States, than any other group on the face of the Earth!
To be fair, however, they did vote to maintain an existing Bill that allows Tax-Cuts for the Super Rich. Apparently Taxing the Super Rich is a non-sequitor.
Joseph --
This afternoon, a discriminatory policy that deprives our military of qualified troops, endangers our national security, and violates the simple American principles of integrity, fairness, and equality was allowed to remain law.
Every Republican senator but one -- Senator Susan Collins -- voted to prevent the passage of legislation to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
Several of them had previously claimed to support repeal, but voted "no" today.
It's a frustrating setback, but here's the good news: We are just three votes away from moving forward on repeal.
And Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and our allies in the Senate are promising another vote on repeal before Congress heads home for the year. There is still a chance for this to pass.
Allies in the Senate are not done fighting. The President is not done fighting. And I know you're not, either.
Write the Republicans standing in the way in the Senate -- and tell them to get on the right side of history.
There's no question that today's vote was disappointing.
But we also have a lot of reasons to be proud today.
The letters to the editor you wrote and the phone calls you made -- and the 582,000 petitions you signed -- have been crucial in building support for repeal.
This morning, OFA volunteers delivered those petitions to Senator Collins' office. And this afternoon, she voted to move this bill forward.
Now your work can help make sure we secure the votes necessary to finally put an end to this unfair policy.
One final push might be all it takes.
I know we still have a lot of fight left in us. Write Republicans now -- and tell them to stop standing in the way:
