Dear Elaine Chao,
It is public knowledge that in 1993, your husband, Senator Mitch McConnell, pulled his sponsorship of the Violence Against Women Act prior to it came up on the Senate Floor for a vote. That said, I am hoping you can you please explain the following votes cast by your husband, Senator Mitch McConnell?
2010
Mitch McConnell, voted against Al Franken's Anti-Rape Amendment (S.Amndt 2588)
Seriously, who votes against laws to help prevent government contractors from allowing gang rape against their employees?
Why did your husband, Minority Senate Leader Mitch McConnell vote Against an Anti-Rape Amendment? WTH? WHO VOTES AGAINST PREVENTING RAPE!?!?
Not to sound snarky, Elaine, and not to judge you in any way but I do wonder how any woman can stay married to a man who votes against preventing rape.
Why did your hubby pull his sponsorship from the Violence Against Women's Act in 1993 before it came on the Senate Floor for a vote?
1993

April 2012

Why did your husband vote against the Violence Against Women Act every single time it came on the Senate Floor for a vote? WHO VOTES AGAINST PREVENTING VIOLENCE???

Wow! Is there any way you can explain why your hubby, Mitch McConnell, once again, ditches women and votes against equal pay?

2007:

For the life of me, I cannot understand why your husband, Mitch McConnell voted against Children's Health Insurance Program. WHO VOTES AGAINST CHILDREN'S HEALTH INSURANCE FOR GOD's SAKE!?!?
2014:
Mitch McConnell, voted against Protect Women's Health From Corporate Interference Act of 2014 (S 2578)
Really? Why did Mitch McConnell ditch women with his vote against Corporations to dictate the health coverage of women employees?

Next, Elaine, can you please explain the votes your hubby made that harmed American, including Kentucky, workers?

2012:

2010:

How in God's name can anyone vote against bringing jobs back to America? Why did your husband vote against the anti-outsourcing bill which would have prevented tax payer dollars from being used to ship America's, including
Kentucky's worker's jobs overseas?
Elaine, my advice to you is this: Before you go making anymore campaign ads for your hubby, you actually look at his actual voting record ... after all, I'd hate for you to continue to look like a GD liar in those campaign ads.
