President Obama Signs Anti-Rape Law by BarbinMD Mon Dec 21, 2009 at 01:20:04 PM PST dailykos.com Despite objections from 30 Republican Senators, Al Franken's amendment that prohibits government contracts with companies that enable rape has now been signed into law: The White House Press Office sent out a statement today announcing that President Obama signed the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2010 into law on Saturday: H.R. 3326, the "Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2010," which provides FY 2010 appropriations for Department of Defense (DOD) military programs including funding for Overseas Contingency Operations, and extends various expiring authorities and other non-defense FY 2010 appropriations. Within the Appropriations Act is Sen. Al Franken’s (D-MN) amendment prohibiting defense contractors from restricting their employees’ abilities to take workplace discrimination, battery, and sexual assault cases to court. And while those 30 Republicans will probably take this as an opportunity to continue complaining that they didn't anticipate that there would be political blowback for being corporate sponsors of rape, I'd like to use it to offer kudos to Jamie Leigh Jones for having the courage to come forward and fight. * Permalink :: * Discuss (237 comments)
