From Denny: Women voters are furious at not having our issues taken seriously by either national political party.
Women voters are the foundation of the Democrat Party yet do not get the time of day to get any serious legislation passed that could actually be effective to improve the lives of all women: equal pay, higher minimum wage, dealing with abuse online and in the work place, and, let's not forget the outrageous refusal of Military Rape Rights and justice for rape victims. Congress arrogantly rejected to renew legislation against abusing women that had been passed by former Senator, now current Vice President Joe Biden.
Why should that kind of legislation have to be renewed in the first place? We don't see that type of temporary odious legislation imposed upon gays or African-Americans. Why do women get kicked around on these issues of abuse and rape?
If the Democrats want to win, and win big for the midterm elections, then it's time for the Democrats - and this President - to get decisive and make a big very public show of real action. And you know I'm gonna tell you how to achieve this...
