If Left Unchecked, Global Change Will Create

The World It Changing Very Quickly And We Can't Wait Another 50 Years!

The Last Six Months Of The Bush Administration Lost Four Million Jobs And The First Six Months Of The Obama Administration Lost Another Four Million Before Any Initiatives Of The President Could Take Action.

There Are Certain Things That Americans Expect Their Government To Do. Our Infrastructure Is Vitally Important. Putting People Back To Work With Construction Is Important. Our Roads, Our Bridges, Our Sewers, Our Waterways, Our Dams - This Is What Makes Our Country So Special.

Change Is Never Fast Enough To Satisfy Us. I Still Hear Too Many Stories Of Women Who Go Back To Work Too Soon, But I Do Believe That We Have Been Able To Change The Paradigm In Attitudes Towards Family Leave In That It's No Longer A Nice Thing To Do For Women, It's A Must Do For Competitiveness, And That's A Big Change Over The Last Seven Years. Changing It Into An Economic Issue Is A Big Sea Change In The Last Seven Years.

Women Now Make Up Approximately Half Of The Workforce - Very Positive. Two-thirds Of All Families Are Either Headed By A Single-head Of Household Or Two Working Parents, And Particularly In This Economically Challenging Time, That Second Income Is More Important Than Ever. However, Women Are Still Only Earning 75 Percent Of What Men Are Earning.
