The vocal fringe of the GOP has descended upon upstate New York to so vehemently oppose her election that they publicly admit they would rather the Democratic candidate win than Dede.

Women's Campaign Forum Women are half the workforce but still Mean Girls and Ice Queens? What gives?

Why have women gained ground in our workforce but not in our minds? How do we work to address “concrete issues” like health care reform as well as our attitudes toward women; close the wage gap as well as the respect gap?

Women's Campaign Forum The saddest and most damaging kind of sexism is when it comes from a woman.

In 2008, When I ran for Lane County Commissioner seat. One of the "Progressive" commissioners called me up to force me out of the race. The reason, he didn't want me to run because Fleenor said-"I would like to be able to sit next to some one I like"-!!

The progressive paper EW didn't cover me at all. When I was at the City Club Forum, Eugene weekly didn't have my photo among the three candidates.. Then, the RG, the Daily Emerald canceled all the interviews. They didn't cover me in the editorial or the rest of candidates. In addition, all the media followed suit with the three papers.

Intimidation, harassment, my life was threatened by the "Progressive" officials with the " Peace" community. ... Read More

In addition to my Rep. councilman Clark who did every thing to intimidate reporters, and my community members..

For the first time in the history of the United States, half of all paid workers are women. Yet we’re still only 17% of Congress and 24% of State Legislatures? What gives?
