Puzzlement:
Have you been watching the nightly news lately? I don’t understand what is going on here. There are some stodgy, regressive Americans wanting to take away civil and personal rights from women. Wanting to Take them back to the 1890s? Requiring them all to be subservient , and never leave the house? Is this what we Americans want? Is this what women want as well? Why are women not yelling, tweeting, and screaming instead? Do you want to be controlled by old angry white men forever? Then stand up and scream Holy Moly no!!! As my late mother use to say, “I’m mad as an old wet hen and I’m not going to put up with this anymore!”

Put down that Hotbutton! Pick up that voting ballot!
So how do we fix America? What’s wrong with America anyway? First of all we have to determine what is really wrong with America. We have a difficult time figuring out what America actually needs and wants. Health? Education? Welfare? Or, what? It’s not that simple.
Some say Same Sex marriage is what’s wrong with America. Some say contraception and abortion is what’s wrong with America. Some say too many restrictions and regulations on the free market. All of which is a concern.
However the above problems mostly affect a small minority of Americans. Whereas lack of good health care, education, jobs, clean water, clean air, affordable housing, affordable transportation, and other basic needs affects tens of millions of Americans. Much bigger than the above mentioned social and financial issues. Affecting almost up to 200-million Americans. Americans need good jobs. Americans needing basic health care. Americans needing good training and advanced education. And again, millions of Americans with basic needs which far outnumber seemingly small numbers of people concerned about hotbutton issues. Hot button issues which stand in the way of real American’s progress.
So the trick is to come together and decide on what most Americans need. Putting aside the issues that affect only a small portion of people. Mostly issues tossed out by ill intended politicians looking to distract and control American voters. Politicians manipulating and using religion to further the politicians own self interests. Charlatans in the First Degree.
We need to get rid of politicians with hidden agendas. We need to bring congressmen from both sides of the political divide together and unite in one cause. The cause? A more prosperous and healthy America. Jobs for all. Education for all. And, health care for all. God bless America.

Stand up girl! Let's hear your voice.
It is disturbing to me to see that women health rights are berated and discounted in the Republican Party. The mainstream Republican leadership not only ignores the rights of their own women but deny any medical rights to all American women. Pretty much like the Taliban in Afghanistan.
I personally would like to hear more from women. Women in America need a louder voice. They need more representation in congress and in state legislatures. States need more women governors and attorneys General. More women in city and county governments. After all, women make up about 51 or 52-percent of the national population. But only have a ten or fifteen percent representation. Why?
Women! Where are you? Speak up! Shout! Start pushing and shoving. Get in the fight. Take off the gloves. Scratch. Pull hair. Kick’em in the groin. Make your presents known.
Failure for women to get involved will only result in less and less attention to women’s medical needs and rights. Go gettem girl! Smash the glass ceiling. Break down the sexist barriers. Make men pay you respect. Scream! Fight! Take your share of the civil and human rights.
Parents, it’s time to teach your girls independence, self-respect, and a greater self-worth. Give them the emotional and moral tools to make it on their own. Of course, this is done by respecting their gender and stop “girlyizing” them. Treat them to be adults, not love objects or possessions.
Dads! Treat your girls as you treat your sons. Show them how to be tough. Life is not easy. Also dads, teach your sons to respect women. Keep your sons busy and their minds off sex. Yes, it can be done. Moms, teach your girl children to say NO! No sex until the right time.
Women stand up! Unite. Collect your voices and shout, “I Am Somebody!” Get out there and shove and make your way in the sexist world. You are woman. Hear your roar!
Most of all men need to stop making laws and policy for women. Let women do that. Women! It’s your turn to make policy and laws. Go gettem girl!
