How can somesone be against GANG-RAPE?

Morning:

I saw this story on he Daily Show a couple nights ago after work. I was chillin at home with the lady and John Stewart, the best news reporter in the land(how sad is that the best news is on Comedy Central?) and he starts talking about this story.

"In 2005, Jamie Leigh Jones was gang-raped by her co-workers while she was working for Halliburton/KBR in Baghdad. In an apparent attempt to cover up the incident, the company then put her in a shipping container for at least 24 hours without food, water, or a bed, and “warned her that if she left Iraq for medical treatment, she’d be out of a job.” Even more insultingly, the DOJ resisted bringing any criminal charges in the matter. KBR argued that Jones’ employment contract warranted her claims being heard in private arbitration — without jury, judge, public record, or transcript of the " ( for more on the story go here -----> http://thinkprogress.org/2009/09/16/jones-sue-kbr/)


Now AL Fraken proposed a bill that would make it illegal for companies to make you sign any document that would prevent you for suing them if the contract "restrict their employees from taking workplace sexual assault, battery and discrimination cases to court."

The ammendent passed 68-30... 68-30... that means 30 people thought it was wrong for you to be able to sue a company if you were sexually assualted at work. Like Jaime's cased, as case where she wasn't just raped, but GANG RAPED, then put in a box without food or water for a day. How the fuck do you vote against this? Honestly? I mean it just comes down to having some sort of moral fiber and compassion. 30 Republicans(wait for the list at the end) though this bill was a bad idea?

WHY?

WHY?!

I don't understand. How conservative does someone have to be to be Pro-gang rape to save some company money? This is ridiculous. I was so mad when I read up on this story I broke my cigar mid smoke. If your senator voted against this, call or email him and ask why. I am.

Here's Jon Stewart with the comic relief:
