OR-Sen: Jeff Merkley (D) Fights Back To Stop The Hobby Lobby Filibuster

DailyKos:

Received this e-mail today from Senator Jeff Merkley (D. OR):

You’re all plugged in to what’s happening around the country. So you’ve probably heard all about the recent Hobby Lobby decision. But just in case, here’s the gist: The Supreme Court recently ruled that employers like Hobby Lobby can assert religious objections and refuse to cover birth control in their employee health care plans. That's just wrong.  Bosses don't belong in our bedrooms or doctors' offices. This week, we’re fighting back with legislation to undo the decision. Add your name today and join thousands of supporters with your voice! http://www.jeffmerkley.com/... The decision is offensive, and as the husband of a nurse I’ve heard first-hand accounts of what happens when basic health services aren’t covered. Our bill – the Protect Women’s Health From Corporate Interference Act – says bosses have no business standing between employees and their doctors. But we already know the far right is preparing to obstruct our work with more filibuster abuse. So let them know what they’re up against. Sign today and help us fight the Hobby Lobby decision! http://www.jeffmerkley.com/... Make sure they hear you! Jeff Merkley
