VIDEO : Meryl Streep Makes Equal Opportunity Plea to Congress; Is Virtually Ignored

Meryl Streep has revealed she received only five responses after writing personally to all 535 members of the US congress calling for the introduction of new equality laws.
The three-time Oscar winning actor told an audience at the Telluride film festival, where her film Suffragette screened this weekend, that she was virtually ignored by the 435 representatives and 100 senators who make up the bicameral legislature.
