Richard Hanna, GOP Congressman, Tells Women To Give Their Money To Democrats

[WI_DEM]

As the only Republican Congressman at a rally for the Equal Rights Amendment on Thursday, Rep. Richard Hanna (R-N.Y.) gave women an unexpected piece of advice: Give your money to Democrats.

"I think these are very precarious times for women, it seems. So many of your rights are under assault," he told the crowd of mostly women. "I'll tell you this: Contribute your money to people who speak out on your behalf, because the other side -- my side -- has a lot of it. And you need to send your own message. You need to remind people that you vote, you matter, and that they can't succeed without your help."

3. He sounds like the last Repub I voted for

Senator Nancy Landon Kassebaum (R-KS).

She, too was a truly good Republican.

I voted for her twice and never regretted those votes.

4. he sounds moderate

good for him for speaking out. as for why he is a republican, his wiki page says he votes repub 85% of the time. He is a member of the LGBT equality caucus too. (I bet there are more like him but they are afraid to speak out.)
