Joe Sestak, Best Choice for US Senate

To kick off Mother's Day weekend, Joe Sestak brought his campaign and his mom to South Philadelphia to focus on women's issues. South Philly Moms got something they REALLY want - A TRUE DEMOCRAT!

I had the chance to say a few words about Joe Sestak for US Senate:

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.

Joe Sestak's stance on women's issues is consistent, and illustrates his deep integrity; he does not blow with the wind.

We don't need another Blue Dog Democrat. We don't need another Senator whose only concern is political survival, who will horsetrade away rights and protections for women. We need a Senator who realizes women are half the population, not just another special interest group.

We need Joe Sestak in the US Senate!
