Ending Workplace Discrimination

Equality means equality for all. Period.


This week we released our first ad of the general election season. Please take a look.

Equality means equality for all. Period.

It is deeply unsettling that the majority of states still condone the legal firing of employees based solely on their sexual orientation or identity. This unjust practice is allowed to continue every single day despite overwhelming opposition from the American public. In fact, nearly 80% of Americans favor basic workplace protections for LGBT employees.

Despite wide-ranging support for the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), Washington remains stalled by an extreme vocal minority, a minority of which my opponent, Congressman Dold, is a part. Please make sure to watch the video and also sign our petition telling Congress to pass ENDA now. Together we can put an end to this subjective and prejudicial practice once and for all.

Signing this petition took less thank 10 seconds - thank you for making it so easy and addressing this issue. It is unbelievable that in 2012 this is still a fight we have to fight - yet here we are.

Almighty Congressman Dold (blessed be upon his name) is very clear about this: government should get out of people's business (complainance with Labor Laws) and get into people's bedrooms. Dold knows exactly how you need to live your life because God speaks to him only and tells this pshychopat exactly what we need to do, how to think, how to dress, etc. I just hope the government, and God, never visits businesses owned by people like Dold.. I'm confident Dold's smiles and polished words and nice commercials will work again and you stupid sheep will fall for it. Admit it people...you need Dear Leader Dold to teach you how to live your miserable lives and if you are nice, he might let you have a picture of him above your bed, Almighty Robert J. Dold, mommy's little punk with big dreams. The insolence of some of you to question Dold's policies...how dare you? Accept him, adore him, vote for him and then get lost, you peasents :) I am outraged that some of you impudent insects refuse to let His Majesty Dold (praise be upon his name) have control over you bodies! You are lucky he even let's you do it during the week when you should be working for him instead hahahaha

How vile can you be to insult Christians everywhere! As an acknowledged believer in the new Godless, socialist, fringe Democrat Party, it's type like you who have finally awaken Americans to how far the Democrat Party has fallen. Keep it up, the more losers like you post, the more that Democrat centrists and independents will see how morally, ethically, and politically corrupt the Democrat Party has become and will vote Republican.
RB August 26, 2012 at 06:49 pm
Margie, please don't call Democrats Godless. You're stooping to a low level. Just because you don't agree in society benefitting from Government, the wealthy paying their fair share, and the rights of all individuals does not mean that those of us that do are Godless. I have a God who loves me and even you very much thank you.
dold's supporter August 26, 2012 at 11:32 pm
Margie, sister...calm down, will you? Your priest forgot to tell you humans are the crown of the Creation and thus are not to be messed with, or discriminated against? Humans are off-limits when it comes to discrimination...Even gay people are humans and if your priest doesn't preach that at your church...you're wasting your time.
We do not talk here about "Christians." We talk about the little guy Dold, and his ambitions. Democrats are just as bad as Republicans but at least they accept blacks (even though they are darker than your priest) and women (even though they talk just as much as your priest) and immigrants (even though they smoke while mowing your lawn) and working-class people (even though they can't afford one fundraiser for your congressman). Capish sister? People like you called Jesus "godless," remember? People like you executed the guy because he was hurting the productivity at your Church-sponsored criminal activities. People like you have one millon labels and not one solution to our problems...only hollier-than-you people like Dold. Hope for advancement of the human race and God will smile on you. And tell your priest not to abuse the East-European housekeeper just because she doesn't speak any English to say "your Eminence, try Viagra, it might work even on you" hahahahhha. Attacks against Dold are not attacks against the Church unless Dold is your god...

Margie is right on. The anonymous individual hiding behind the pseudonym of "Dold Supporter" seems to have hit the nail on the head... the Democrat Party has all but been destroyed by the fringe groups. I am a Democrat and always have been. I've actively worked phone banks and stuffed letters for Democrat candidates. But that was before the Party was turned upside down by the godless, socialist fringes. I may still be a Democrat, but there isn't a Democrat on my radar screen that will ever get my vote... including President Pinocchio!
Mark Stein August 26, 2012 at 11:44 pm
Anyone who refers to "Democrat candidates" isn't a Democrat. That's a Republican thing.
Mindy D August 27, 2012 at 12:20 am
To Mark Stein: When you say that anyone who uses the term "Democrat candidates" isn't a democrat, you're wrong. If it's a Republican "thing," so be it. I stopped using the term "Democratic" after I saw how un-democratic the Party has become, especially under President Pinocchio.
dold's supporter August 27, 2012 at 12:23 pm
Yeah, Democrats are godless...Republicans by contrast have so much faith...they even pray for the children they molest. Now, that's faith. That's Republican Party to you: slightly nicer than the Taliban. Mindy...you just wait for the nice Republicans to deal with you and your body...after the election for right now they need your vote. Badly.

Dold Supporter sounds like a rational tolerant and enlightened liberal. It's typical for guys like him.

RB, You do not understand Heller or McDonald or the Second Amendment. The Supreme Court never saidRead More we can't carry an RPG either! Wilson has been going on for over 6 years, but it will strike down Cook Counties infringement and we will once again...collect Millions in Legal fees.
RB June 19, 2013 at 09:54 pm
RPG was used as an example of limitations. To quote from the majority opinion inRead More Heller...."Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose"
Dan Cox June 19, 2013 at 10:11 pm
RB Yet, the Supreme Court has not deemed what that limitation is, because the writters of the SecondRead More Amendment, wrote it for the protection of the citizens, against a Tyrannical Government. If we want to really get to the heart of the matter, there is no limitation as to "WHAT" we may Bear, depending on the "purpose." Now if you wish to fall back on the Militia arguement... Illinois State Constitution, Article12, Militia..."Every resident of the State of Illinois, is a Member of the Illinois State Militia." Secondly, the Bill of Right's is for the citizens, not members of the Military, like the Army National Guard, obviously.

There is nothing historical about this house. The historical house was torn down in order to buildRead More a modern house which vaguely resembles the home that was owned by Lyman Wilmot. But calling this new construction "an important part of the history of Deerfield" is a travesty.
annette kalcheim June 14, 2013 at 07:39 am
Mara, So sorry you feel this way. We feel that this really improves the neighborhood. Tried toRead More keep much of old structure, but Igor's rehab and lack of upkeep, made it impossible. couldn't even keep floors, all warped from water and walls full of mold. City did nothing to stop Igor from combining two distinct properties. I am having a champagne lunch Wed. June 19, 11:30 to 1:30. Would love for you to come and see the house. Maybe that will change your mind. Annette Kalcheim
Mara Meyer June 15, 2013 at 09:33 pm
Annette - my first statement was "beautiful house" so I have no qualms with your outcome -Read More however, this is a re-do, re-creation not the original house. But good luck! I am sure you will find a buyer quickly!
