Happy Friday to you all! Before you embark on your Holiday weekend, I wanted to pass along this e-mail I received from Keystone Progress regarding Tea Party U.S. Senator Pat Toomey (R. PA):
The Senate has one last chance to get this right. They have one last chance to stand up for human trafficking victims.
A Senate bill, supported by both parties, has already been introduced that would help survivors of sex trafficking get their lives back on track, but Senator Toomey, along with other anti-choice Republicans, has refused to support it unless survivors are denied access to abortion care.
We need to send a strong message, so we’re collecting petition signatures to be delivered to Republican senators. When we stood together against a federal abortion ban, Republicans caved in to the pressure from the people. They might just do the right thing--but only if we make them.
Tell Senator Toomey: don’t play politics with trafficking survivors, and pass a clean Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act!

The Senate is currently on recess, which means senators are at home, listening to constituents like you. They’ll have one last chance to understand why some of the most vulnerable victims in the world deserve our support and access to the resources they need.
When they hear you speak out against their political games on human trafficking, they’ll know they’re being held accountable. The only way anti-choice senators are going to change their stance is if they hear from their constituents. The only way they’ll help trafficking survivors get the health care they need — and deserve — is if anti-choice Republicans hear from YOU.
Sign the petition today and tell anti-choice Republicans: stop playing politics with trafficking survivors, and pass a clean Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act!

We’re going all-out because these survivors deserve no less. Thank you for being with us.
