Where Are The Women? The Women Are

I Firmly Believe That If You Help A Woman, Then You Educate A Child, You Help The Family. Because Women Are Very Focused On Health Care And Education And On The Family. So If You Help A Woman, You Help The Family, You Help The Village, You Help The Country. And So Empowering Women Is A Very Important Part Of Moving, Not Just Women Forward, But The Economy Of The Nation Forward. Particularly In Very Substandard Nations.

We Cannot Ensure That Women Will Be Free Of Discrimination In The Workplace And Everywhere As Long As Women Are Not Universally Defended Under Our Constitution. As It Stands Now, The Equal Rights Of Women Are Subject To Interpretation Of Law. That Is A Risk Our Mothers, Sisters And Daughters Cannot Afford.

I Asked, "what Do You Think The Most Important Advancement Was For Women In Recent Years?" And The Majority, The Item That Polled The Most, Was Hillary Clinton's Run For President.

We Need A Mayor Who Knows How To Balance A Budget, Who Understands The Urgency Of Delivering All The Services That A Great City Needs, Who Understand The Need Of Working Families.

One Of My Mentors Was Patricia Schroeder, And One Night She Came To Me On The Floor And She Said To Me, "why Are We Sitting In Congress, When A Lot Of Women Would Try To Do It And Couldn't? Why Are We Here And Others Aren't?" And I Thought Back And Said It Was Because My Father Believed In Me And She Said The Same Thing, She Said Her Father Believed In Her And Thought She Could Do Anything.
