voting

I was a soccer mama for Obama. But sometime this year, I hung up my cleats.  And because I am pretty ordinary, I think losing me is a big problem for the Democrats. I'll vote on Tuesday, but I haven't recruited for the playoffs.

Every day, I’m grateful to all the women who fought so tenaciously for universal suffrage; we are the beneficiaries of their vision for a better world. I’m grateful to my great grandmother for helping me understand civic responsibility and the tenuousness of our rights if we do not remain diligent. Without our foremothers, we would not have gained the rights we enjoy today.  Yet even today, millions of women do not enjoy these same rights.
