Rep. Bill Sali has done the impossible. In just the month of July, he has alienated elderly Idahoans (both men & women) and all women living in Idaho.
On July 15, Sali voted against the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act (HR 6331). The bill 1) improves patient access to preventive and mental health services, 2) enhances low-income benefit programs, and 3) maintains access to healthcare in rural areas.
On July 31, Sali voted against the Paycheck Fairness Act (HR 1388). The bill amends the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to provide more effective remedies to victims of wage discrimination on the basis of sex.
Sali is bought and paid for. He has never voted in a way that would benefit the average American family if it might cost a corporation some money. Why? Sali is unable to resist the $1,000 and $5,000 handshakes with corporate lobbyists.
