Kerry Petition - Reopen the WH Women's Office

[sandnsea]

When Bush took office in 2001 he dissolved this critical resource for women.
Let's act now: If you agree that this door of communication should never have been closed and that women's voices must be heard, join John Kerry and call on President Bush to reopen the White House Women's Office- before January 2005!

2. women have their place in a right wing world

and it's something we should all worry about. i hear right wingers always talk about laura bush being good because she stays quiet and doesn't give her opinions like hillary always did.

3. That makes me scream!

That attitude just makes me furious.

When I was in high school I had a bookmark that said "A woman's place is in the House and the Senate." Now I'd add "and the White House" but the sentiment is the same. Women make up half the population; shouldn't they make up half the elected representation?

I was never cut out to be a Stepford wife! :D

JK really is the best choice for Women. He's always been a strong feminist and advocate of issues that are important - right to choose, environment, and education.

Go JK!

6. Yes. He actually marched with women's groups in the early 70s.

When he was running the prosecutor's office in Mass. he hired almost all women and minority lawyers to fill the positions available.

The man is a beacon.

12. Sponsored domestic violence legislation

The legislation that created so many shelters, hot lines, and other tools to help abused women. Also one of the first rape victims units in prosecutor's offices back in the 80's. He has done so much for so many, it's a shame so many can just turn their backs on it all as if none of it ever happened or even mattered.

8. This makes me want to start a thread asking: "Laura is to Hillary like...

_____ is to _____."

But I would probably get banned! :-)
