Women Deserve The Same Permanent Rights And

More Women Are Working Because They Have To, That's What It Takes To Put The Food On The Table And Pay The Rent. And Yet We Have Not Changed Our Policies To Support The Family. The Right Wing Goes To The Floor, And They Did When They Were In Power, And Talk About Family Values. Well, Where Are They? Family Values Is Support For Child Care. Family Values Is Equal Pay For Equal Work So That Women Are Paid Appropriately.

One Of My Mentors Was Patricia Schroeder, And One Night She Came To Me On The Floor And She Said To Me, "why Are We Sitting In Congress, When A Lot Of Women Would Try To Do It And Couldn't? Why Are We Here And Others Aren't?" And I Thought Back And Said It Was Because My Father Believed In Me And She Said The Same Thing, She Said Her Father Believed In Her And Thought She Could Do Anything.

I Believe Very Strongly In Paid Sick Leave.

My Idea Is That We've Worked So Many Years For Equality, But The Only Area Where We've Achieved Equality, With Men, Is In Job Loss. We Are Still 77 Cents To The Dollar.

The Proposal That Men And Women Should Be Treated Equally Under The Law Is Hardly A Controversial Concept.
