    Wednesday, March 9, 2011 Union Station, East Hall Washington, DC The Congressional Caucus for Women’s Issues was founded on April 19, 1977, by a small, bipartisan group of Congresswomen who gathered in a room in the U.S. Capitol to discuss the problem of spousal abuse. In the years that followed, the ever-increasing numbers of women elected to Congress have continued to meet to discuss and act on a wide range of issues affecting women and their families.

A project of People For the American Way WWW.pfaw.ORG WWW.RIGHTWINGwaTCH.ORG Introduction NORTH CAROLINA Reaping the rewards of anti-incumbent sentiment, Republicans Renee Ellmers made enormous gains in the House of Representatives in the 2010 elections. While the majority of Americans agree that the vote was no mandate for the Republicans’ agenda, the new GOP House leadership, empowered by the most far-right Freshman Class since 1994, is nevertheless looking to impose a radical agenda. The House GOP’s Freshman Class provides an extreme far-right backbone for the GOP’s agenda—many newly-elected members based their campaigns on propagating anti-government extremism, appealing to bizarre and debunked conspiracy theories, denigrating gays, immigrants, and Muslims, and pledging to repeal multiple amendments of the U.S. Constitution. In this profile of the “Ten Scariest Republicans Heading to Congress,” People For the American Way looks into newly elected members of the House, from Tea Party all-star Allen West to anti-gay activist Vicky Hartzler to Bush-crony Tim Griffin. The “Ten Scariest” include incoming congressmen who have been clouded by ethics scandals, lied about health care reform, and have ties to extremist groups. Among the ten, all share rapidly anti-choice and anti-equality views, enthusiastic support from the Religious Right, and reactionary economic ideas. Now, as members of the new GOP majority, the radical Freshman Class will have significant clout to promote Tea Tea Party activist Renee Ellmers defeated Democratic Rep.
