We must work to elect more women to The U.S. Congress

5. The US lags far behind other parts of the world...

I'm not sure how many Senate spots there are in the US, but here there's a pretty good representation of women in government at all levels. While I mentioned two examples that I'm not happy with, one who I'm so proud of is the Queensland Premier (that'd be a state governor in US speak) Amanda Bligh. Not only has she done a fantastic job as Premier, but when the flash floods hit Toowomba last year and the floods moved to Brisbane, she showed what a real leader is made of when she kept everyone informed of what was happening and what her govt was doing to help. She was warm and genuine and was a stark contrast to our Prime Minister's awkward and forced sounding words...

I've never understood how any female Republican could not side with women on issues that concern them. I remember long ago tracking down a tiny website of Republican women who were pro-choice but they really came across as being in the minority...
