BREAKING: REPUBLICANS WON'T TELEVISE TOMORROW'S WOMEN'S HEALTH HEARING

First, Republicans held a hearing on women’s access to birth control coverage with five men and NO WOMEN.

Now, In a last-minute move, House Republicans have apparently changed their own rules to prevent Congressional television cameras from filming the testimony of Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown law student that Republicans refused to let testify last week on women's health issues.

We're calling on Speaker Boehner, Majority Leader Cantor, and House Administration Committee Chairman Dan Lungren to immediately reverse their decision to deny Sandra the right to have her testimony televised.

Immediately sign our petition to reverse this disgraceful decision.
