Congresswoman Louise M. Slaughter.
I've been doing things around the house this morning with c-span on in the back ground. She is leading the fight to make it illegal to pay women less for equal work. Damn, that seems like a no brainier... 2008, people.. hello?? The knuckle dragger on the right, just keeps on standing up and demanding that the oil companies need to be able to drill offshore, same, same, same.
Number one , Ms. Slaughter is from Kentucky, and DEEP Kentucky at that. The hills and valleys of mining country are still in here voice, a MUCH needed sound of normalcy here in Upstate NY. The GOP powers that be in the NY State Legislature keep doing their best to gerrymander her out of power, but no matter how wacky they make her district look, she easily wins. Despite representing a historically Republican area, Slaughter is one of the most liberal members of the New York congressional delegation from upstate New York. Indeed, among Congressmen from upstate, only fellow Democrat Maurice Hinchey has a lower lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union. She is one of several Democratic congressmen and senators who post at Daily Kos, a Democratic-oriented blog. She is strongly pro choice, and has ALWAYS been a strong supporter of glbt issues, including marriage equality.
She is not my Congressperson. I am too far south . Don't even ask about mine, We are working hard to fix the problem. (Eric Massa for Congress)
A true voice for the good guys, there in Washington.
