ENDA
Wednesday, August 5th, 2009The American people believe in fairness and understand that employees should be judged on the merits, not on sexual orientation or gender identity. A January 2007 Hart Research poll found that six out of ten Americans support federal legislation to address workplace discrimination against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people. Yet, today, it remains perfectly legal in 29 states to fire someone based simply on sexual orientation, and in 38 states to do so based on gender identity.
In today’s difficult economy, no one should have to face the additional challenge of discrimination in the workplace. I urge you to support these common-sense protections and co-sponsor the Employment Non-Discrimination Act today.
I called Sen Charles Grassley today and asked Him to support as well as Co-Sponsor the Employment and Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA). I URGE EVERYONE to call Sen Grassley’s office at (202) 224-3744 and ask him to support as well as Co-sponsor this Bill.
