Where has Deborah Pryce been now that she is retired from Congress? Pryce now works for
SZD Whiteboard which is described in the following manner at their
website:
SZD Whiteboard is a consulting enterprise with roots in one of the legal industry’s most forward-thinking providers, Schottenstein Zox & Dunn, Co., LPA.
Located in Columbus and Cleveland, Ohio, the group provides growth and development strategies to corporations, organizations and state and local governments through operating groups that focus in the following areas:
- Government relations, lobbying and public policy consultation....
Funny thing is, SZD Whiteboard is NOT listed as a lobbying group at the
JLEC (Office of the Legislative Inspector General Joint Legislative Ethics Committee) even though it list lobbying as one of its activities.
In an article at
Politico, Deborah Pryce said the following:
“Let’s see what they call it this year when we have so many Republican women elected. And look at these women who we’re going to elect,” Pryce said. “They’re no shrinking violets. These women are going to be household names. They are no Patty Murrays by any stretch of the imagination...."
Sen. Patty Murray is running for re-election from the state of Washington. It really is too bad that there are no female fighters like Patty Murray in the Republican Party. Republican women always seem to take a backseat to men in the GOP. They wait for instructions from Boehner and McConnell.
Pryce is not someone I'd take any advice from considering how she knew about the page sex scandal and lied about it: (See
BuckeyeStateBlog)
Sen. Patty Murray is facing Rossi in the upcoming election. Republican Dino Rossi must hate women. He is against women having reproductive rights. In a
Seattle Times article, Rossi said this:
Pressed at the Spokane breakfast forum, Rossi said he opposes abortion
for "anything other than maybe rape, incest or life of the mother."
Maybe?
Maybe? Women would be at the mercy of Dino Rossi making up his mind? Maybe? Try telling that to your daughter if she was raped.
In the past, Dino Rossi supported old John McCain's plan for health care. Unfortunately, the Rossi and McCain plans hurt women.
...Rossi, like McCain, has opposed policies that would improve women's health. Though it is now state policy, Rossi voted against requiring insurance plans that cover prescription drugs to cover prescription contraception. He also doesn't believe that pharmacies should be required to fill prescriptions for FDA-approved birth control. Rossi voted against funding family planning services for low-income people even when research shows that for every dollar spent on family planning services we save $4 in related health care costs. Like McCain's, Rossi's approach to health care harms women.
Reducing access to basic health care has a devastating impact on women. According to the Guttmacher Institute, women of childbearing age spend 68 percent more in out-of-pocket health care costs than men, in part because of reproductive health-related supplies and services....
If women want safe, affordable health care, vote for Patty Murray.
However, if you want some right wing man telling you if you can use birth control or maybe have an abortion following a rape/incest, vote for Dino Rossi.
Women should encourage their friends to vote for candidates who support reproductive freedom. We don't need to move backwards with people like Dino Rossi.
