We all know that, unfortunately, the media does not always portray the good things that are happening in Iraq and Afghanistan, and this will be a great opportunity for us to glean some information from the Iraqi women who are here for us to also take back to our constituents.
From Ginny Brown-Waite
As is the case with many Middle Eastern nations, women are nowhere near equal to men when it comes to basic freedoms and rights that we take for granted every day.
While Kuwait is not a democracy, giving only half the population a voice in their government is not a policy this Congress should support and one that I am glad that Kuwait's leaders are changing.
When given the chance, women have proven they will participate in the electoral process.
Allowing Texas to display the Ten Commandments on State property but disallowing Kentucky courthouses from doing the same is a poor and flawed interpretation of the U.S. Constitution.
American government was founded on a belief and a faith in God and in doing what is right and just.
First, women are more likely to live in poverty during their retirement years than are men.
Social Security is a plan that actually was designed in a much different time, in a different era, and with a different set of American demographics in mind.
I have the highest number of Social Security recipients of any Member of Congress, and it is always good to hear about how women in their districts are affected by any changes, by the need for changes in Social Security.
Under the current pay-as-you-go Social Security system, not one person is actually guaranteed benefits.
