WOMEN IN MAJORITY, DOMINATED BY MALES

CONGRESS, politics in general, the American Medical Association, the church, business, etc., are all male-dominated in this country (and the world). Yet women are the majority.

If we did not allow ourselves to become divided over issues that should be basically private (religion, abortion) or non-pertinent (race, age), women could become a decisive political force.

Nurturing is common to all women. Our votes on issues affecting the kind of world our children will inherit should be based on a shared interest. Remember the saying: Divide and conquer!

Women, working together, can move mountains - even of male-generated red tape and inertia.
