Texas Tampon Massacre...If you are Pissed Off. Sign Here

From my email:

Please sign our petition demanding an open investigation into the conduct of Texas state troopers who confiscated the tampons and diabetic supplies of protesters at the state capitol on Friday. Click here to sign the petition.

You can bring a gun into the Texas State Capitol with a concealed handgun license—but not your tampons, maxipads or diabetic supplies?

On July 12, as the Texas state Senate voted on a devastating anti-choice measure, state troopers ordered all women seeking to enter the building to surrender their tampons and maxipads.

In at least one case, a woman was also ordered to remove her diabetic supplies. “I’ve never been so humiliated in my life,” she said tearfully.

It is bad enough that the Texas state Senate is assaulting a woman’s right to choose. But whoever authorized this outrage must be held accountable.

Petition here:

http://campaigns.dailykos.com/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=483

Sign our petition demanding an open investigation of the Texas state troopers’ conduct, and that appropriate disciplinary action be taken.

Keep fighting,
Chris Bowers, Daily Kos

I'm a 60 year old man and this shit just reeks of sickening. How full grown men would follow those so called orders to humiliate those women and themselves I'll never know.
