I heard an interview with Claire McCaskill .

She was so upset and she was dealing with two very upset daughters.

She said Missouri has the most draconian law of any state.

Great! But there are a lot of women of every religion and every political denomination that are crazy mad at the SC and their awful representatives.

This isn't over.

One in the works a couple years ago, she test drove hosting a show a few times and then backed off. I think it's more work than she has time for. She's in a good place, I hope she hangs in there for a while.

Unless we can get a majority in the Senate by at least two seats, and maintain the majority in the House, very little can be done

I know some young people make fun of Boomers. But we know how to fight this fight. And we are in on this.
And we have nothing to lose so we can help carry the weight of this.

Gloria Steinem came out and said that is imperative that we move big time on getting the Equal Rights Act.

I am so glad she is back in the game.

both men and women and she just weathered on. Those early women really had it rough. That's why we are tough.

Go Claire McCaskill!

This may be my last big fight but I am all in.
