Tom Latham Votes Against Motherhood
May 11th, 2008 at 02:53pm Geraldine
On Wednesday, Tom Latham joined 177 other House Republicans to vote against H. Res 1113, a resolution “That the House of Representatives celebrates the role of mothers in the United States and supports the goals and ideals of Mother’s Day.” This was part of an attempt of House Republicans to make an attempt to make some sort of statement about their disapproval of Democratic procedural tactics. So, how did Tom Latham show his contempt for such tactics? He did so by taking a stand against such radical statements as “we honor ourselves and mothers in the United States when we revere and emphasize the importance of the role of the home and family as the true foundation of the Nation.” It’s long been clear that Latham is out of touch with Iowa’s working families. This vote against motherhood only reinforces Latham’s continued contempt for Iowa’s working families.
