Nancy Sinatra, the iconic “These Boots Were Made For Walkin’” songstress, over the weekend announced her support for Tammy Baldwin, a U.S. Congresswoman who is now running to become the first openly-gay U.S. Senator. Sinatra, daughter of Frank Sinatra, via Twitter very generously posted a link to The New Civil Rights Movement’s article on Congresswoman Baldwin, and followed that up with four tweets on Baldwin’s political positions.

Rep. Baldwin (D-WI) is running against former Republican governor Tommy Thompson, who served as U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services under George W. Bush.

Tammy Baldwin has a reputation for taking on corporate special interests and has made fighting for the middle class her top priority

Tammy opposes Republican plans to fund tax cuts for the wealthy by cutting Social Security and Medicare.
