Politicians who are not advocates of women & women need to defeat them at the polls
I would urge women to run for office in their states. I would also encourage women to UNITE in your own interests. Every time one woman stands with the men who work at forcing one lifestyle on women -- economic, emotional, and self-esteem dependency on men -- she injures countless women who wish to live otherwise, AND the men who support that lifestyle. YOU MAY SUBMIT SUGGESTIONS, WITH A REASON/LINK TO NEWS STORY,
MITT ROMNEY For promising to repeal the affordable healthcare act, which provides, among other things birth control with no co-pay, coverage for pre-existing conditions (including lupus where 90% of the patients are women)
Justice Antonin Scalia http://www.addictinginfo.org/2012/07/31/justice-scalia/ Not really a politician but an extremely partisan activist judge. I personally think he never should have been appointed and should not be on the bench as he had exhibited unethical behavior on repeated occasions.
