Email from Nancy Pelosi: no women? Sign the PETITION


XXXX --

We almost couldn’t believe it. Today, at a House Oversight Committee hearing, House Republicans convened a panel on denying access to birth control converge with five men and no women. As my colleague Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney asked, where are the women?

Join me in our call to Speaker Boehner, Eric Cantor, Chairman Issa and all House Republicans to demand that women be brought to the table when discussing women’s health issues. Help us gather 50,000 signatures before Congress heads home tomorrow.

Sign the petition >> http://www.dccc.org/pages/wherearethewomen

Thank you for standing up for what’s right and joining our fight.

Best,
Nancy Pelosi

When they were doing the Health Care hearings, they did not allow anyone to speak for Single Payer.
Today's proceedings are just more blatant.

Our elective representatives simple do not represent us any longer. We need to make our government afraid of us again.

Why do "men" insist on prying into women's wombs?

How would these "men" feel if they didn't have access to penis pills?

It seems they need to be more concerned with their own bodies. Like what is wrong with them that they have to take pills to get an erection?

Chairman Issa, You do NOT belong anywhere near a woman's decision on how best to serve her own personal needs. Shame on you and the GOP's ploy to take control of a woman's right to choose what is best for her. This is NOT the Republic of Gilead!

I HATED that movie, "A handmaid's Tale". I honestly think that they're using it for a blueprint of what they want this country to look like.

Their erections are not casting a spell on us. We are on to them.

Sorry but these "men" cannot control us. If they think they can they have another thing coming.

I also would like to apologize and acknowledge that not ALL men are like this, that is why I put "men" in quotation marks.
