Well, if this goes through, I’ll be asking my husband for 2% more of the business, and we’ll be a female owned electronics manufacturer. Think that’ll help? Not unless I can talk him into still doing everything he’s doing now.

Section 703 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964:

DISCRIMINATION BECAUSE OF RACE, COLOR, RELIGION, SEX, OR NATIONAL ORIGIN

SEC. 703. (a) It shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer--

(1) to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of such individual's race, color, religion, sex, or national origin; or

(2) to limit, segregate, or classify his employees in any way which would deprive or tend to deprive any individual of employment opportunities or otherwise adversely affect his status as an employee, because of such individual's race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

To this day, Democrats continue without ceasing in their opposition to the Civil Rights Act.

This is going to turn out great for me.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

This has already been a requirement of defense contractors for more than a decade.

Isn’t the government bailout just grand? Thank you George Bush for starting this disaster.
