Enough is enough!

The GOP evidently want to degrade women as individuals and as a whole. Why is it acceptable to them to limit witnesses on women's issues to only men. This misogynistic uncivil discourse needs to be stopped NOW-----and there seems to be a big GOP lack of concern about abusive language used by fellow Republicans.

I have read that the GOP has introduced:

46 bills on abortion
113 bills on religion
73 bills on family relationships
36 bills on marriage
72 bills on firearms
467 bills on investigation

And----they blocked the American Jobs Act!!!

I think I remember a Fox pundit who thinks women in the military should “expect” to be raped. And then there's Rick Santorum‘s, “Why can’t you just make the best out of a bad situation?” That's his quote about what he’d say to rape victims who want abortions.

This book is a work of fiction but it WILL make you think. People who want Santorum should definitely read the book.

Diver Dave--Thanks for mentioning my Amazon Bestselling novel, The Last American Martyr. I believe that all working Americans will be able to identify with the main character, Thomas Soles. I think this is a book that all thinking Americans will appreciate.

Thanks again.
