I do not know many
people in congress,
the ones I do know
my followers know
my feelings about
them.
I know
Representative Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut well
(Since 1991),
and
I will stake
my reputation on her honesty!
When she speaks we
should listen!
Representative Rosa
DeLauro is not a democratic person,
she is not even an
Independent person
or a
republican person!
She is a ‘People Person’!
House bill would
withhold funds from World cup Men’s team
until women’s team earns equal pay
2026
Two
Democratic congresswomen on Tuesday introduced a bill that would block federal
funding for the 2026 men’s World Cup until the US Women’s National Team earns
“fair and equitable wages compared to the US men’s team.”
The legislation, co-sponsored by Reps. Doris Matsui of
California and Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut, comes amid the team’s longstanding
battle for equal pay.
Months before the tournament, members of the Women’s
National team filed
a lawsuit against the US Soccer Federation,
claiming they deserve to be paid what the American men are paid for their
international performances. In one hypothetical case cited in the lawsuit, if
the women’s and men’s teams both won 20 straight games in a season, the women
would make 38% what the men do.

WASHINGTON - Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, of
West Virginia, introduced a bill Tuesday that would prohibit federal funds from
being used for the 2026 World Cup unless the men's and women's national teams
are paid equally.
Manchin's
office issued a press release stating that the senator was inspired to create
the bill after receiving a letter from Nikki Izzo-Brown, head coach for women's
soccer at West Virginia University.
