I do care a lot about Women’s Issues because my I have two very personal experiences in my immediate family of rape.

I think it’s urgent that we talk about women’s issues and gender inequality and address them. The treatment of Sarah Palin is a perfect example of the urgency. So, perhaps one day, I won’t find my future granddaughter in this situation.

Nothing changes for women, it’s always a cycle—and each time around it doesn’t get easier.

I have to weigh in other things when I cast vote, but I tend to place women’s issues pretty high.

If I don’t fight for women and ask that you fight with me, who will fight for us? How are we as women, empowered?

I believe in equality, nothing more.

Don’t get spooked by the “get your barefoot self back in the kitchen woman!” Freepers. They are few and far between.
