Silenced for saying vagina?! Demand Michigan Republican House leaders apologize!
|
|
The McGlynn,
Michigan’s Republican House Speaker James Bolger and Majority Leader Jim
Stamas are eager to regulate vaginas, so long as they don’t have to hear about
them.
Last week, they silenced Reps. Lisa Brown and Barb Byrum for wanting to speak
out about women’s reproductive health.
For saying the word “vagina,” Brown was barred from speaking on the
House floor. Byrum was barred before she even got the chance to give a
speech!
It is unacceptable that Republicans have used bullying tactics to shut down
debate about important issues. It’s happened in Wisconsin, Michigan, and around
the country.
With your help, we can publicly shame Michigan’s Republican leaders
and make others think twice before silencing debate in the future.
We’ll inform Michigan media about thousands of people demanding an apology —
and run online ads shaming Bolger and Stamas publicly.
Sign
the petition demanding that Stamas and Bolger apologize! Then pass this to your
friends.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
