president obama is not expected to win any of those states come november. some of that has to do with white voters in the south refusing to support a black president. but many people are also unhappy with president obama's policies on energy and coal. in other news, congressman brad sherman came up with a clever idea to get pictures of his family into the media. it is so clever, we'll give it to him. he sent two version of a mailer to jewish voters. one with his mom and one with her photo shopped out knowing it would spark possible controversy and it did. in a video posted on buzzfeed sherman explains this was totally intentional. the strategy, he says, is that people will see his family and vote for him. he's running against a fellow jewish democratic congressman in a redistricted district here in california. it would be california's 30th district. that primary is june 5th. both men howard berman and brad

sherman are present congressmen and now they're forced to run against each other. we're online in chat. you can join us to talk about this and anything else you want. current.com/stephaniemiller. we'll be right back. some we'd been experimenting with for years others...we just found a cool ingredient. many we brewed just once to see how they would taste. why? -- because at sam adams we love beer. ♪ ♪

inhalers for sudden symptoms. tell your doctor if you have kidney problems glaucoma, trouble urinating, or an enlarged prostate. these may worsen with spiriva. discuss all medicines you take, even eye drops. stop taking spiriva and seek immediate medical help if your breathing suddenly worsens your throat or tongue swells you get hives, vision changes or eye pain, or problems passing urine. other side effects include dry mouth and constipation. nothing can reverse copd. spiriva helps me breathe better. does breathing with copd weigh you down? ask your doctor if spiriva can help.

[ ♪ circus ♪ ] representative gwen moore who voted no on the fake violence against women act. republicans, it was unbelievable. she said this fake violence against women bill does not only rolls back current versions to

help victims of domestic violence. it ignores groups of women under the republican bill gay and transgender women and immigrants are left unprotected. the partisan given is not what was meant to be accomplished. representative gwen moore joins us now. good morning representative. >> thank you so much for having me stephanie. >> stephanie: thanks so much for coming on. i've seen you on tv talking about this. you've been so impassioned. you said it wasn't a game when i was abused. it is not a game now. so you speak from experience. >> oh, absolutely stephanie. i wish -- i swear i wish that i could say the abuse that i suffered is something that's rare but it is not. certainly sandy adams the author of the violence against women acts bill was a victim. victimization of women is as american as apple pie. i think people accept it as you

know men's right to passage men's rights as boyfriends and husbands. i even had a minister you know, once preach in church that he did not want men calling him at 3:00 in the morning asking him reverend, where's that passage weis obey your husbands. weis obey your husbands as someone had once done. he admonished the parishioners to note please do not call me in the middle of the night asking me for that reference to be misused. i think that you know, that this bill is very, very frightening. i'm 61 years old stephanie. and so i've experienced abuse from you know, for as long as i can remember back in childhood age 4 and 5 years old. all the way through as a young adult. long before -- 20 years before the violence against women act was enacted on a bipartisan

basis. and many of the provisions that were in this law are in current law because this hasn't passed are in current law, would have helped me and a number -- helped me in a number of ways. it would have provided prosecutors with the tools. it would have educated prosecutors. educated folk. there was no such thing as hot lines and domestic violence shelters. back in the '70s and '60s and '50s when i was being abused. and this bill really triggered and restimulated some terrible memories that i had of being abused. i told the story on the floor of having been raped a young man came by the house and you know agreed to take me to the chicken shack to buy some fried chicken. and instead took a detour behind some dark buildings raped me,

choked me, choked me. almost to death. and i did the right thing. i went to the hospital. they did the rape kit or the examination. i went to the police. filed a lawsuit. went to court. and stephanie, i was on trial. they talked about how i was dressed, the fact that i had teased him. i had gotten in the car with him. how i had a baby out of wedlock. i was on trial. he was, of course, found not guilty. the violence against women act reversed all of those kinds of things and certainly you know this bill rolled back in a number of ways. as a watch color and as a minority, i'm particularly offended by what it does to women in the shadows women who are minorities. >> stephanie: well congresswoman, i think that your personal story too is so

compelling because you know, it also -- you know makes a lie out of -- when people think it doesn't happen to smart women or educated women or -- you're a united states congresswoman and it happened to you. so as you say to now like try to -- i mean this should be something that's nonpartisan. house this get to be partisan? the violence against women act? since when? >> you know, it became partisan because this bill was put into the queue as literally a part and parcel of the whole tea party ideology which is very gendered, which is very anti-immigrant anti-lgbt. and is very male gendered-oriented. as a matter of fact, this bill was altered in ways to please some of the men's groups and i don't knock all men's groups. i think men need rights but there are some very rabid men's

groups that weighed in on this. and altered it in a very significant way. for example there's gender neutral language in the bill, stephanie. and sandy adams of course describes this as being a good thing because it doesn't pick one victim against the other victim. what are we pretending not to know here? >> stephanie: that's one of my provisions is where they alert the abuser of an immigrant -- a woman -- since when -- as you said on the floor, the republicans are playing games with women's lives. >> that is very chilling. three women -- you know, their member on the other side who was debating me when i was trying to put forth my motion to recommit, talked about some poor woman who was murdered in the parking lot

of the police station. >> wow. >> exactly! women are more at-risk of dying when they're trying to get away from their abusers and there's never a more important time to just believe the victim, give her cover shelter services take her at her word than when she's trying to get away because she's more at risk of dying at that point than at any other point in trying to break off an abusive relationship. and this is the point at which they give abusers power. it is chilling! >> stephanie: representative where are we now with this? you obviously voted no as you should have on this. as you say fake violence against women bill. now what happens? >> well, the senate, as you know passed the real bill 68-31. every single woman including all of the women in the united states senate, democrat and republican, voted for it.

we often call things bipartisan when one single person from the other party votes for it. but here's a case. 68-31. clearly a bipartisan bill that comes out of the senate. this bill passed -- my hope is that there is a conference committee where the senate will have the stronger hand and stronger position to be able to say we want our bill to be the bill that gets an up-or-down vote because we have a truly bipartisan bill. and as a matter of fact, 23 republicans voted against the fake. -- against the fake bill. we can claim bipartisan opposition to the house bill. and if there were a conference committee, i would certainly fight to try to be on that conference committee. and to fight for the senate's position.

and then if the republicans in the house and they are the majority, they clearly have the ability to vote down the re-authorization of the violence against women act, if they choose then to vote it down, then that will be just more evidence that there is in fact a war on women. i know that there are -- there are very many people including democrats who thinks -- who think that it is sort of -- you know, lacking in civility. >> stephanie: this is almost a literal war on women at this point. yeah, you're absolutely right. >> i don't know what to call it. >> stephanie: i've done work for -- raised charity -- work for charities for shelters for domestic violence. i think it is an issue that's just so -- you know, it is so resident for so many people. one of the levels is economically empowering women so they don't ever feel like they have to put up with this. but i think this is like a

minimum that the law should protect them. i mean this just seems like a no-brainer. i can't believe we're even debating this. >> well, i can't either. i'll tell you why because it is not as if you know, there were wild-eyed, you know left wing protestors, socialists as republicans like to call those of us who are progressive out demanding these provisions to include native americans who are twice as likely as other women to be abused and beaten. i mean these tribal lands are sanctuaries for abusers because the tribal councils don't have any authority. it is not like you know they're these wild-eyed communist types that demanded that we include lgbt language in the bill or that we provide more -- or we try to protect young women who are -- particularly at risk on college campuses.

these provisions were suggested by the fbi the department of justice the police. >> stephanie: all of the socialist groups is what you mean. >> all of the socialist groups exactly. >> stephanie: representative -- thank you so much -- first of all for having the courage to talk about your personal experience with this because i think it is just -- it makes this issue resonate and it is so much powerful. we always love having you on. please come on more often. >> thanks, stephanie. be well. >> stephanie: thank you. representative gwen moore of the state state of wisconsin. [ applause ] >> a member of congress can share a story as personal as that, it resonates so much more. >> stephanie: that's what i mean. it doesn't just happen to just poor women or just -- uneducated women or just -- it happens to everybody. god bless her. i love her!

i can't even believe. i can't even begin to say how -- >> stephanie: you know what? i hope that this even mobilizes people to get out and vote. >> caller: i'm calling for them this week because -- i live in illinois. come on. wisconsin had one of the greatest educational -- for the long time. they've decimated it. truly decimated it. >> federal law trumps state. >> stephanie: keith in milwaukee confronted one of the flyer guys. >> caller: hi, guys, hi, steph. yeah, it turns out i know the guy. i was on the panel once with him. when i saw this, i was livid. i called him up to let him know hey, this is just -- it is funny because the guy, he was -- i'm not talking -- he was telling

me -- i turned from being -- he starts telling me about how people are calling up and they're ripping -- telling him that f you. but the thing is he said he's getting -- i didn't do anything. then he goes on to explain that he helped the guy who put this thing together get the open record request. this is something wisconsin, you can go after information on people and it is like he is -- he used it on me. and so get this, this guy is the only teacher's salaries. [ indiscernible ] >> stephanie: by the way ann romney, i love when she talks about the economy. >> i love the fact that women are talking about deficit

spending and the economy. >> stephanie: it is so precious. >> they're using this statistics and the polling and asks people how important the economy is for you and that kind of thing. and what you think about the economy and in a totally separate question, they're asking you the importance of reproductive rights or whatever and they're comparing that and saying more women care about the economy than their own reproductive rights. they're twisting the statistics to reflect that. and that's what she's talking about. the right wing to fight off the war on women is saying you know, we're for women because we're for solving the deficit. >> stephanie: they're better on the economy. however newt gingrich's private ventures are going bankrupt. oh dear. >> p.s., none of you guys ever -- >> stephanie: as is his campaign fund, bankruptcy proceeding underway in atlanta will determine the one company owned by calista gingrich will lose a payout that constitutes
