Know that your Senators Roy Blunt of Missouri and Pat Roberts, Republicans, both, voted against the Violence Against Women Act yesterday, in the Senate.
Fortunately, it did pass in spite of the fact that these two men are part of the group of 31 Repulicans who voted against it. Why they would want to be against a law fighting violence against women, I can't say, honestly. I'll have to do some research.
First things, first, it's just good to know.
Secondly, however, it's good to keep in mind, next time voting for these people comes up again, of course.
