Wonderful Women Of The World

Good morning!
What’s Hillary Up to? That’s what I was asking myself last night and after perusing the net, this is what I found from the Huff Po.
As usual, I can’t seem to post the video from the write. If you want to see it please click on the heading below.
Hillary Clinton: Turn Female Economic Issues Into A Movement
WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Thursday that voters need to turn pay inequity and women’s economic security into a political movement in the November elections and beyond, pointing to an issue that could animate a future presidential campaign.
Clinton, the Democratic former senator and first lady who is considering another presidential bid, said policy issues like raising the minimum wage, equal pay for women and providing families with access to quality, affordable child care need to be prominent in the upcoming elections.
“When we can turn an issue into a political movement that demands people be responsive during the election season, it carries over,” Clinton said. “These issues have to be in the life blood of this election and in any election.”
Clinton spoke at a forum sponsored by the Center for American Progress, which was formed more than a decade ago by veterans of her husband’s administration, where she was joined by House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi of California, Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York and Patty Murray of Washington and others. The panel was moderated by Neera Tanden, the center’s president and Clinton’s former policy adviser.
Democrats are trying to persuade women to vote in the fall midterm elections as they work to keep their Senate majority. Female voters could hold the key in several competitive Senate races, including North Carolina, Iowa and Colorado, and Democrats are hoping female candidates in Kentucky and Georgia can help them win in Republican-leaning states.
For Clinton, who could become the nation’s first female president if she successfully seeks the White House in 2016, the round table discussion offered a window into what could become part of a future policy message. Clinton has long advocated on behalf of women and girls around the globe and promoted economic policies aimed at helping working mothers, such as extended leave for family and medical issues, raising the minimum wage and pay equity.
Clinton said if the level of employment among women was raised to the same level as men, the nation’s economy would benefit. Referencing the need to break the glass ceiling for women, she said the issue of economic security resonates with women and families across the nation.
“The floor is collapsing. You talk about a glass ceiling — these women don’t even have a secure floor under them,” she said.

The discovery that the head of the NFL is paid $44,000,000.00 a year while at the same time they don’t pay the NFL cheerleaders between $105.00 and $420.00 a year ( http://time.com/73676/the-ridiculous-things-nfl-cheerleaders-put-up-with/ ).
Once we see what white men think of women and what they will do if they are not forced to share the bounty of this country with others. White men control all of the NFL including how the league is treated tax wise. I’ll wager that 99% of you reading this know that the NFL is TAX EXEMPT. The NFL makes $9,000,000,000.00 a year but pays NO income tax. http://newday.blogs.cnn.com/2014/01/30/the-nfl-is-really-considered-a-non-profit/
I’m white, but I remember some black person that said white men have to be forced to share equality or they won’t. The NFL is a Postal Boy example of that.

If the white media gave police brutality against black men a tenth of the coverage they are giving this Ray Rice issue, it would stop almost over night.
just saying.

Hafa Adai:
In my U.S. history class, we just learned about the Great Awakening. Beforehand, the American colonists lost their faith in God and continued to be oppressed by England. To my understanding, the Great Awakening, quite literally, awakened the American colonies.
I’m a firm believer in God and how truthful his word is. I believe that when the 13 colonies restored their faith, it re-established their understanding of truth and justice and helped them realize the injustices of England, their colonizer.
Now, I believe that for Guam to hold a plebiscite, the people need an awakening, just like the American colonists did years ago. Indeed, there is some doubt expressed by many of Guam’s citizens, but I believe that we need to unite as one — no matter what political status Guam ends up pursuing, to address our future.
It is true that changing our political status is intimidating and not knowing what our future as a nation holds is scary, but the plebiscite simply needs to happen.
The people of Guam must be educated on the three political statuses they are being offered, not only to create awareness, but to help move the plebiscite along, so we can take action.

Just 4 minutes after the President and his two daughters had the White House a 47 year old man, Omar Gonzales from Texas, jumped the 8 foot fence and made his way inside the White House.
Fire some incompetent assholes!

Just 4 minutes after the President and his two daughters had left the White House a 47 year old man, Omar Gonzales from Texas, jumped the 8 foot fence and made his way inside the White House.
Fire some incompetent assholes! Do it now.

If what you say you mean. I would grind your corn anytime.

Michelle the republicans are so wretched that they have many sites dedicated to trashing Hilary. http://news.yahoo.com/clinton-turn-female-economic-issues-movement-170439830–election.html
Men can be so beastly.

If grinding my corn tickles you so much, then why haven’t I felt your hand under my skirt? We both know why I am without undies when I don’t wear pants in your presence.

[…] Ellen: Incompetent, not caring…whatever. There is no excuse. I agree with you, but I would fire all of them and their superiors. Who cares if the president and his daughters left the White House. This man could’ve had a bomb strapped to him intending to blow up the entire building. […]
