Joe Sestak has a record of standing up on behalf of women. He is the pro-choice, feminist candidate in this race. He was one of only 5 Pennsylvania Representatives that voted against the Stupak-Pitts Amendment to the Health Care Reform Bill, an amendment that makes the right of a legal abortion essentially meaningless because it will effectively kill access.


He authored the Gender Equity Act of 2010 to redress economic injustices to women in the workplace and to help those who are caregivers in their families. He has co-sponsored important legislation for women including the Lilly Ledbetter Act and the Paycheck Fairness Act which extends the time women have to report pay discrimination.
 He is a strong supporter of the Equal Rights Amendment and full rights and privileges for civil marriages. He is pro-labor, a staunch advocate for small business and co-sponsored the Internet Freedom Act to establish net neutrality as the law of the land.

For all these reasons and more, the National Organization for Women enthusiastically supports Joe Sestak for the Senate.

1. Sestak has a better voting record for women's rights GLBT rights and the environment than

Spector. Go Joe!

2. Hi, mucifer. It was your posts in another thread on this race that

prompted me to get into gear and start looking up the candidates' respective records.

Joe ain't bad at all.

I'm hoping his support continues to rise. I think he'd make an entirely decent U.S. Senator.

4. I believe that the DSCC is supporting Arlen Specter. Think about that when they ask you for money.n

5. Oh yeah. DSCC mail goes straight to recycling bin now.

9. If it is postage paid snail mail, I send it back with a comment that I will not

support DINO's. I also do the same with emails.

that nifty Admiral fellow.
