I am proud that we have shown the country and the world that women should be accepted on equal footing with men in all aspects of American life. Women deserve to make dollar for dollar what men make. Women are just as capable as men to serve in leadership roles in the public and private sector. Many areas and customs around the world disagree. Let us lead. That's what we do best outside of a military setting.

I was earning a decent wage, and I filled out a credit application to buy a TV from Sears. I was trying to build my own credit. They refused the application until I got a co-signer, and then both the credit cards came out in my husbands name.

I returned the TV and closed out the cards.

It was and still is not always easy being an independent woman. People are always trying to tie your worth to someone else.

Nothing is certain until the convention.

Beware the heartbreak of premature inauguration.

... that Hillary is going to be our candidate. No coattails. They're pinning their hopes on Russ Feingold driving turnout in Wisconsin.

I like to donate to individuals and certain organizations. Sorry you feel the people you are speaking to don't want our support. Then again, I think it's pretty clear at this point it's made up.

What in the world does your need to deflect and falsely put words in my mouth have to do with anything?

I'll be supporting Russ for Senate. That's for sure. So, tell us who these two candidates are, please.
