Protecting Our Women in Uniform

Tags: Why Women, Chellie Pingree

Last year, I sat in my Washington office and listened to five women tell painful stories of how they had been sexually assaulted while in uniform. Each one of them had been a committed professional, each one had dreamed of a career in the military, each one had dedicated their life to serving our country. Each one was not only the victim of an assault, but also a victim of a very flawed system for responding to these attacks.

This week, members of the House returned to Washington for a special session to cast key votes ensuring critical funding for their home states. Democrats stood up for the heroes of our communities: teachers, firefighters, police officers, and many more civil servants.

With the Republican line-up looking more and more like a front for BP, their heavy hitters such as Joe Barton and Michele Bachmann should look out for one of our own, Cong. Chellie Pingree.
