But not so fast, dear Republican senators and congressmen. Trump may have verbalized his misogyny, sexism and abuse of women into an open microphone, but over the past decades you \u2015 YOU \u2015 have LEGALIZED it. He may talk of \u201cgrabbing\u201d&#160; sexual organs, but YOU have created laws that legally grab control over women\u2019s bodies. Trump may brag about his power over women; YOU, the Republican legislators (and your backers, the Christian Right and rich businessmen), have made sure women aren\u2019t paid the same as men, don\u2019t have paid maternity leave, or can\u2019t get easy access to birth control.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: ; margin: 0in; line-height: normal\"><font face=\"Arial\"><font style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Trump has been called \u201cdisgusting\u201d for his remarks. But you, by actually blocking women\u2019s equal rights, you\u2019ve been rewarded for your misogyny with re-election, campaign cash and future lobbying jobs. <strong>You think by disowning Trump now that we, the people, are going be grateful to you. But we know that Trump is only the natural result of a Republican culture that has viciously fought the women\u2019s agenda for years. Trump hasn\u2019t destroyed your party; he\u2019s your end game, the grim reaper from the seeds you have sown, showing up now to preside over your demise. Defeating Trump, or pushing him to drop out, is NOT what will make this right for the majority of us Americans. Like any good doctor, we need to remove the cancer from its source, and that source is you.<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: ; margin: 0in 0in 0in 0.375in; line-height: normal\"><font face=\"Arial\"><font style=\"font-size: 12pt\">It is an assault to pay women less.
