Sean Patrick Maloney for Congress

“Sean worked closely with me in the White House,” President Clinton said in the call.  “He has seen us and been part of a team working in the aftermath of disasters, so he’ll be especially valuable in Congress in New York as we work to build our way out of the aftermath of Sandy.”

“The Ryan budget takes a dangerous and cavalier approach to disaster funding,” Maloney said.  “There would be significant reductions in the resources available to FEMA.  And if those cuts were in place right now, FEMA’s ability to bring lifesaving assistance—and very tangible types of assistance like debris removal and assistance to people on the ground to buy diapers and get groceries, and things like their ability to coordinate the National Guard, state and local people who are in the front lines—all of those things would  be reduced significantly.  This is an issue where you see the consequences of Tea Party ideology.”         

“Rape is a horrible crime – period,” said Maloney.  “Sadly, this latest attack on women’s health from Tea Party candidate Richard Mourdock isn’t surprising.  I hope that the Congresswoman will join me in rejecting these despicable statements, and will call on Mitt Romney and her Tea Party ticket to withdraw support for this extremist.  Women in the Hudson Valley deserve a Congressperson who will put Hudson Valley women ahead of Tea Party ideology.”

Yesterday, Nan Hayworth again demonstrated exactly how dangerous her agenda is for women’s health, and how out of touch she is with the issues that matter to women and families in the Hudson Valley.  Nan Hayworth wants to cut off funding for the preventive health care services like birth control and breast cancer screenings that Planned Parenthood health centers provide.
