31 GOP Men Vote Against "Violence Against Women Act". Susan Sarandon Supports "Unite Against The War On Women" Rally

By Kathleen

It's finally nearly here! Saturday April 28th is the day that the GOP has been dreading for weeks as it is the day when women and supportive men across every state in America finally get the chance to remind those who have been systematically stripping women of their rights that "Enough is Enough".

The war on American women is real. It affects women's health issues, women's reproductive rights, crimes against women and workplace equality. It also interferes with an American woman's relationship with her doctor.

If anyone doubts that the war on women actually exists then they need look no further than the not so subtle attack by the 31 GOP senate men who voted yesterday against the Violence Against Women Act. Marco Rubio who is presently rumoured to be a possible running mate for Mitt Romney also voted against the act.

GOP Senate members who voted against the Violence Against Women Act:

Barrasso (R-WY)
Blunt (R-MO)
Boozman (R-AR)
Burr (R-NC)
Chambliss (R-GA)
Coburn (R-OK)
Cochran (R-MS)
Cornyn (R-TX)
DeMint (R-SC)
Enzi (R-WY)
Graham (R-SC) Grassley (R-IA)
Hatch (R-UT)
Inhofe (R-OK)
Isakson (R-GA)
Johanns (R-NE)
Johnson (R-WI)
Kyl (R-AZ)
Lee (R-UT)
Lugar (R-IN)
McConnell (R-KY)
Moran (R-KS) Paul (R-KY)
Risch (R-ID)
Roberts (R-KS)
Rubio (R-FL)
Sessions (R-AL)
Shelby (R-AL)
Thune (R-SD)
Toomey (R-PA)
Wicker (R-MS)

I hope that this further campaign against women will encourage some of our readers to attend a rally in their state where they will get the opportunity to connect with others who believe that the war on women has to stop. If any readers do plan to attend an event please send us photos and reports and I will post as many of them as I can.

If you want to attend and add your voice to speak out against the suppression of women's rights the following list shows the time and place of the meetup points across the states of the USA. More info at www.unitewomen.org:

The Academy award winning actress Susan Sarandon has shown her support for the cause by appearing in a hilariously funny video. Viewing is not safe for work as it is a little risque but it does get the point across.

What matters to us is the truth

"The chief thing is to have a soul that loves the truth and harbors it where it finds it. And another thing: the truth requires constant repetition, because error is being preached about us all the time, and not only by isolated individuals but by the masses. In newspapers and encyclopedias, in schools and universities, everywhere error rides high and basks in the consciousness of having the majority on its side."-- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in a letter to Johann Peter Eckermann, December 16, 1828

Sensational revelations in the "Trig emails" about Sarah Palin's pregnancy

POST 1 - CLICK TO READ: Lisa Demer, journalist at the Anchorage Daily News, asked all the right questions about Sarah Palin's pregnancy with Trig, and asked directly for Trig's birth certificate - but was met by stonewalling and insults from Palin's staff
POST 2 - CLICK TO READ: More discoveries in Sarah Palin's released emails: Palin's team wanted to launch "pre-emptive strike" against ADN-story about Palin's pregnancy, was shocked that Lisa Demer tried to put together a "timeline" of Bristol's pregnancies and contacted schools and hospitals

POST 3 - CLICK TO READ: Newly released email suggests that five weeks after Trig's official birth, Sarah Palin didn't have a birth certificate for Trig

- UPDATE: Palin's spokesperson wants to "cut the ADN off" if they continue to ask questions about Trig's birth

- UPDATE 2: ADN-editor Pat Dougherty to Bill McAllister: "The judgment of your office to go after the Daily News on this Trig stuff would constitute malpractice"
