Republican Assault on Women Co-Sponsored by Senator John Cornyn – Blunt Amendment

It’s time to change the old, white, white-haired men’s club. It’s time to change the agenda from culture wars to jobs, from wars against  the middle class to jobs…and health…and education…and the environment. A recent spotlight on gender issues — including an all-male hearing on birth control and a number of hotly-contested state abortion bills [...]

Republicans: Don’t regulate the environment or big corporations BUT regulate contraception!

The “get the government out of your face Republicans” are once again trying to get into your bedroom. In the interest of supporting the Catholic Church’s stance on contraception, Republicans are attempting to exempt Catholic institutions from providing contraception to the female employees under employee health insurance programs.

How do they feel about the first amendment and the freedom of speech…and your right to know what’s going on in Congressional hearings? Apparently they are not a big fan as they had [...]

Cornyn Playing Softball with Lobbyist

Senator Cornyn seems to be proud of the video below as he sent it out in his Lone Star not-so-weekly newsletter. Watch it while keeping these points in mind. The interview is a setup!

Did You See Senator Cornyn’s Jobs Survey for Dummies?

Hey dummy…please choose from one of my talking points?  I don’t know who created Senator Cornyn’s job survey which was published in his not-so-weekly Lone Star Weekly e-newsletter. If you participated in the survey and answered anything but other, you gave the Senator a talking point that he will use to enrich the rich.  Let’s [...]

Senator Cornyn votes against helping Teachers and Firefighters

It’s really amazing. John Cornyn and the Republicans are against any kind of jobs bill, including the pared down version that they refused to even consider yesterday.  Thursday’s $35 billion measure combined $30 billion for state and local governments to hire teachers and other school workers with $5 billion to help pay the salaries of [...]
