We, as a nation, as a community and as an American family, must take action to change minds, change hearts, and, finally, change policies. The attack 3 years ago in Orlando was a terror attack and a hate crime. Congress can stop others and save lives by finally taking action. — PolitiTweet.org

86 percent of Americans support #NetNeutrality , which helps level the playing field for #smallbiz and start-ups. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

The Senate should protect American consumers by reinstating #NetNeutrality ... Democrats and Republicans should be fighting side-by-side on behalf of individuals and small businesses. — PolitiTweet.org

Men should be actively defending the rights of women in this country, not scheming to take them away, as @senatemajldr continues to do. Women are a majority in this country and they deserve respect and equality in all aspects of the law. https://t.co/ynNfT34k67 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

The #EqualPayAct became law 56 years ago, yet we are still fighting to close the #wagegap. I cosponsored the #PaycheckFairness Act to deliver on this promise. Women and moms deserve equal pay for equal work. #MomsEqualPayDay — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Moms who work full time get paid 69¢ for every dollar dads make – even less for moms of color. Equal pay means better outcomes for women, people of color and families – better outcomes for Americans. When women succeed, so does our nation. #MomsEqualPayDay https://t.co/hkvGtglSQU — PolitiTweet.org

America has come a long way in furthering the rights of the LGBT community, but there is still much work to be done. If we do not defend their constitutional rights, we are failing them. https://t.co/piBxCRDLT3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Coming together in support of our LGBT brothers and sisters continues to be a critical component of fostering a culture of equality. During Pride Month, we spotlight the LGBT civil rights movement and celebrate the courage, strength and resilience that defines this community. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Celebrating @CapitalPrideDC ? For 50 years, since the days after the Stonewall Riots in 1969, LGBT men and women, have moved out of the shadows to rightfully reclaim their rights as Americans and, more importantly, as human beings. https://t.co/Lrw1Rc3kM8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Thoughts & prayers may provide some consolation but we need to take definitive action so no other families have to lose loved ones to gun violence. We must put an end to the suggestion that Americans must choose between constitutional rights & the safety of their families. https://t.co/74VW8pQ9iP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

It is both frustrating and appalling that Republican leadership in Congress continues to block movement on legislative measures that could save lives. We need to close the loopholes that make it easier for people who should not have weapons to buy them. https://t.co/YNnCLuvMAx — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Today we #WearOrange for all those who have been lost to gun violence. Whether on the streets of Baltimore, our schools, houses of worship or other everyday places that have been invaded by bullets, we cannot allow this to become the norm. — PolitiTweet.org

Billy Forbes Jr. of Bryantown, MD was a radio operator in the 29th Infantry Division. Lester Lease of @CumberlandMD was a sergeant in the 29th when he landed at Omaha Beach. Read more about these brave Marylanders and more on #DDay here: https://t.co/fkS4LA0Ma7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Sacrifices made by Americans on D-Day turned the course of the war. It planted the seeds of rebirth for Europe & the Trans-Atlantic partnership that has brought freedom to so many people around the world. 75 years ago, these brave men &thousands like them changed the world. #DDay https://t.co/d4p3mqJcnK — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Honored to be in Normandy for #DDay75thAnniversary to greet many American veterans who were young guns 75 years ago, storming the beaches of Normandy to defend freedom and end the Nazi reign of terror. What they witnessed on the beaches that fateful day cannot be forgotten. https://t.co/K44Cd8npBt — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

We need to pass comprehensive immigration reform, but that does not erase our immediate responsibility to give predictability and safety to people who are in an uncertain status. We need to stand up for American values of compassion and diversity. https://t.co/DWDfSNp44o — PolitiTweet.org

Real children with real families are stuck in limbo until the Senate acts. These are mostly individuals who came to this country as children and have known no other country than the US ,or they have been in this country lawfully for decades due to ongoing violence at home. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

America's strength is in our values, which means protecting people who are in danger. The Senate has an obligation to act to protect DACA, TPS and DED recipients who are only in jeopardy today because @POTUS put an expiration date on their backs. https://t.co/Xrd6gaPlIW — PolitiTweet.org

If the gender wage gap were closed nationwide, it would cut the poverty rate for working women in half and add nearly a half trillion dollars to our economy. Recognizing women for their contributions to our society and economy makes sense for women, their families and our nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Nearly 250yrs of treating women as less than equal has taken a toll on the women of our nation, their families and our economy. As we celebrate 100yrs of women voting & earning a voice in our electoral system, let's dedicate ourselves to closing the gender gap wherever it remains — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

For 144 years, male-dominated legislatures kept women from casting a vote because they were looked upon as less than equal with men. Today, those same forces are trying to rein in women’s rights with respect to women’s access to reproductive health care. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

How a nation treats its women is a barometer of that nation’s success. Empowering women is one of the most important things we can do for the future of our country. Core to this is the constitutional right women have to make their own choices about their own health and well-being — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

We must correct this injustice and finally recognize the equality of women under the law w/ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. Congress can remove the deadline for ratification, which means only one more state would need to ratify the ERA for it to become law. #ERANow — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Securing the vote was only the first step. 100 yrs later, more women are entering the workforce and more are filling leadership roles at record levels. But most Americans are shocked to learn the Constitution does not guarantee women the same rights/protections as men. #ERANow — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

The 19th Amendment was introduced more than four decades earlier, in 1878. It would take a little over one year until three-fourths of the states ratified the amendment, guaranteeing women the right to vote. https://t.co/Mo8IGXKBKo — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

On this day, 100 years ago, the United States Senate finally ratified what would be the 19th amendment to the Constitution, sending it to the states for ratification. The amendment prohibited the states and the federal government from barring women from voting. — PolitiTweet.org
