WOMEN ARE THE TRUE WARRIORS AND CONSULTANTS IN EVERY ASPECT OF LIFE. SISTERHOOD WOMBMAN QUEENDOM IS A GLOBAL VILLAGE OF SPIRITUAL LOVE

When I became pregnant with my son, I had two choices career-wise: return to work after a few weeks, using up all my sick and vacation days and maybe taking unpaid emergency leave; or quit my job. I chose to quit my job. I was lucky enough that I had the support needed to be able to stay home and take care of my baby. But most American women can't afford to quit their jobs; some have to return to work as soon as two weeks after giving birth, or risk being fired. While many assume this is the way it has to be, the fact is that American women are practically the only women in the world forced to make this terrible choice. The United States needs to catch up with the rest of the world with regards to respecting women and valuing motherhood. We are one of three countries, out of 178, to NOT have paid maternity leave. Pregnancy and caring for an infant are neither an illness nor a vacation. Having children is a normal part of most people's lives, and allowing mothers the option of being their babies' primary caregivers benefits the whole of society in many verifiable, concrete ways. Paid maternity leave allows mothers to recuperate physically and emotionally from childbirth; promotes bonding and breastfeeding; significantly decreases infant mortality rates; reduces child and spousal abuse; and is of net benefit to the economy as it reduces government spending and the need for public assistance.

My concern is of the expliotation of young girls on any online site. How can us as a country have this taken place? We must help these young girls and their freedom. Us young women are not commodities to men. We are in much capability to achieve goals as the same as men. I plead to you to take action on this topic at hand. We must help these girls.

My petition is to boycott the advertisers of the obscene programming that features child beauty contests. The exploitation of these children, and the sexuality that is forced upon them by their mothers is abuse. Someone must try to protect them.

Any person that can use a web browser can watch free internet pornography. Go ahead and search "sex tube." You will see free clips ranging from 1 to 90 minutes. Before the internet you had to be 21 to view adult material. Now you just have use a browser which means kids can view it. There are web filters but they are marginal at best. Parents can keep computers in the open areas but that is marginal too. Kids have smart phones and look at their friend's computers. I am all for free speech but I also don't want my child learning about sex from the internet. Pornography sites should all have the .xxx extension. That way our filtering software will have a chance of succeeding. But the Porn industry doesn't want that and spent millions lobbying congress. The Porn industry wants to cultivate the next generation of porn addicts. This is nuts and we all know it. So why doesn't congress fix this ? It is an easy fix and it is consistent with what the states have done for decades. I have contacted congressman Charlie Dent who ignored me. I think the only reason congress keeps looking the other way must be the lobby dollars.

My name is Victoria, and I’m 13 years old. I recently found out that girls as young as me are being sold for sex by people using a classifieds website called Backpage.com. You can buy and sell stuff on Backpage.com, look for an apartment, or find a job. That is all cool. But pimps are using Backpage.com to advertise girls my age to men twice their age and older, and that’s not okay. It makes me so upset to think that every night while I sleep safely in my bed, there are other girls who are spending the night being raped and abused. Backpage.com is owned by Village Voice Media. They read the news – they know that pimps have advertised girls for sex in the adult section of their website, but so far Village Voice Media has refused to take down the section. That's why, with the help of my mom, I started a petition to tell Backpage.com to close the adult section so that girls aren’t bought and sold for sex by sick people using the site. I recently became friends with a girl who was advertised by her pimp on Backpage.com. She's 13 years old just like me. What happened to her is so scary. I don’t want any other girl to experience that. Kids deserve to play, to be free, and to go to bed each night and have sweet dreams. Let’s help them do that. Please sign my petition and share it with all your friends. --Victoria, age 13 (and Mary Pannell, my mom)

Women of America, are you aware that we are still "second class citizens? The Equal Rights Amendment for women was introduced in every Congressional session from 1923 - 1972, when it finally passed. 35 states have ratified it but we still need 3 more states before it can become a part of the Constitution and give women full citizenship rights. It is one of the few amendments in history to be given a time limit for ratification so H.J.RES.43 and S.J.RES.15 have been introduced to remove the deadline, but there has been no action by Congress since March, 2011. Now is the time to demand that Congress remove the deadline so we can pressure the 15 remaining states to ratify the ERA. Please sign our petition and contact your Representative and Senators to ask them to support these resolutions. See [email protected]

SAVE HANALEI RIDGE... The green ridge overlooking the Hanalei River and Hanalei Bay is threatened by a luxury development that would perch 25 resort mansions over the river, directly across from Black Pot Park and the canoe clubs. Hawaii billionaire developer Pierre Omidyar’s proposal to transform the bluffs above the Hanalei River into a haven of exclusive luxury vacation properties would fundamentally alter the scenic, environmental and cultural qualities that have made Hanalei Bay unique and iconic in all of Hawaii. The project’s site plans show 34 CPR mansions plus 86 luxury resort cottages, with 25 of the mansions lining the length of the ridge, looming over Kaua`i’s children as they paddle and play in the river. Hanalei’s new view from the bay would be a wall of development that would extend from the Princeville Hotel into Hanalei valley. In addition to scarring the hillside, the lights of this sprawling luxury complex would beam down on the river and Black Pot Park, destroying the dark serenity of the ridge and Hanalei’s Black Pot, Pavilion and Wai`oli beach parks. The nighttime glow would also divert Kaua`i’s native seabirds, which already die in large numbers at Princeville resorts. For months, Omidyar's “Ohana Hanalei” development company has been carefully marketing its project to a small, hand-picked group of people in an attempt to buy support for the project. “This lobbying effort is steamrolling behind our backs,” one Hanalei Valley resident said. In response, the Hanalei Bay Coalition was formed to protect Kauakahiunu - the Hawaiian name for the site - before the massive mansion/hotel development goes any farther. In March the Coalition, which is composed of concerned Kaua`i groups and individuals, respectfully contacted Omidyar to ask for his help to protect Hanalei Bay. Although he lives nearby in Honolulu, his staff rebuffed the community’s offer to meet with him. Instead, the residents were shunted off to his development company - the very group that is working day and night to replace the green hillside with a long parade of McMansions from the river mouth all the way to above Kellett's Landing. Can we count on this development company to do the right thing? It does not seem likely. The development company has already shown bad faith by blocking for more than four years—with locked gates and security guards—the public shoreline access easement that was deeded to the County years ago. The Coalition asked Mr. Omidyar in March to remove the locked gate that leads to the public access. Nothing happened. Indeed, two months later, the company called the police to eject one fisherman trying to use the deeded public access that has been part of the property since the 1980s. It is only because the community and brave individuals have once again been forced to conduct the research and fight for their rights that the gate was open and the guards gone on Father’s Day. We hope they stay that way. Mr. Omidyar has a right to use his property, just like anyone else, subject to the rules. He doesn't get to bulldoze luxury houselots into a scenic historic hillside any more than anyone else does. Our community's watershed plan, the North Shore Development Plan and the state's Special Management Area policies all call for the protection of our viewplanes. Those pristine viewplanes are a crucial part of the low-key, traditional and natural feeling of Hanalei and Hanalei Bay. They are an essential part of what makes this place special for both residents and visitors. But beyond whatever rights he might have, Mr. Omidyar also has an important responsibility. He has the unique personal ability to either protect or destroy the qualities of one of the most sacred places in Hawaii. The appropriate action for Omidyar’s development company would be to shift all development on this large piece of property back and away from the edge, to preserve Kauakahiunu Ridge, save the viewplane, and protect the seabirds. If Mr. Omidyar wants this community's support, he must do the right thing. If not, then Kaua`i must just say no to Mr. Omidyar. --Hanalei Bay Coalition The Hanalei Bay Coalition is dedicated to the preservation of the scenic, cultural and environmental qualities of Hanalei Bay’s waters and lands.

I did not know that Human Trafficking was a problem for Woman, teenagers, young girls, and maybe kids. I thought that it was a choice, and not a choice because of a lot of parents. Cannot stay around permanently for their family, or a lot do but it is a empty feeling. By me finding out that there is a name for it. I want to help stop Human Trafficking forever, eternity, for all generations permanently. Because no one do not have to live like that every day of their lives. Especially the innocent victims who have been tricked into becoming involved. Stopping Human Trafficking is for every Rrace, and Nationality. Another reason why I want to help victims by putting these people in prison where they belong. They can join in with other people to help the environment. Become, and stay safe by making this medium to large circle become a circle of countless people that will not let bad, and terrible things happen any more.

Would you laugh if someone joked about violently assaulting a group of nuns? That's what Iowa Rep. Tom Latham did on a right-wing radio show last week. The radio host was mad that a group of Catholic sisters are taking a multistate bus tour to highlight their concerns about the House Republican budget. He suggested Rep. Latham "pull the Nuns on the Bus over and pistol whip them." Instead of rebuking the radio host for encouraging violence, Rep. Latham laughed and responded: "It's always fun to be on your show." Let's show Rep. Latham that this rhetoric is unacceptable. He owes the Nuns on the Bus a public apology!

Recently terminated a few days after completing a whistleblower form on the human resources website calling for an in person meeting with the Executive Management to discuss the ways in which I have been discriminated against for my gender for the past two years. I did this in hopes of positive change. This was after numerous reports to human resources and management with no improvement. Offered a severence package in exchange for my voice. Relief of a $68k unfair deficit and one months pay in exchange for agreeing not to report them to sate/federal agencies and for not talking about this to anyone but my husband. I say NO WAY, I refuse to sell my voice . Corporations must be held accountable for encouraging and allowing discrimination in the workplace. This is a moral and ethical issue that needs to be addressed. I would like to request that there be a gender discrmination form on all companies websites where employees can submit their greivances. Once submitted this form should be sent to Executive Management AND an outside agency. This protects the employee against retaliation and there is a proper record and history of the complaints. Hold Corporations responsible for negative company cultures that instill and allow for gender discriminiation.
