Tuesday Women's Caucus

Today after a lovely breakfast where we heardabout renewable energt projects and a health care policy lnstitute, I went to te women's caucus. The hghlight was hearing from Donna Brazile as she spoke quite strongly about how critical it is that we elect Obama in November to work with Nancy Pelosi and the Senate to lift our economy and put the needs of women, a living wage, health care, equal pay, reproducive freedom, education and many mire, on the front burner again. She told a story about a reporter who commented on the side to her after interviewing a female politician that the woman "must have PMS." Donna said, "I know a bit about PMS. That was NOT PMS. That 'PMS is not knowing how you're going to keep your job when you can't afford the child care to keep it or for the gas for the car to drive to work. That "PMS" is not beingb able to take your child to the doctor because you not have health insurance and can't pay the doctor bill. That 'PMS' is not being able to fee your abusive spouse befcause the shelter is full. And that 'PMS' is not knowing how many more tours in Iraq she will have to do." she was AWESOME!!
