The Preschool Times

Ok; I’ve been quiet on this subject for a long time. And those of you who know me know it hasn’t been easy! I can’t be silent anymore. A woman’s right to vote is part of the very core of my being. I am truly happy to see women coming of political age, but I am overwhelmed by the media’s misunderstanding of who female voters actually are.

You see, I have spent a lot of time talking to women over the last decade and through our conversations I believe I have a handle on the “Female Agenda”. Though I am happy to see the women’s vote becoming important to the major political parties, I am concerned that they don’t know what the “Female Agenda” is.

In my opinion the female agenda has nothing to do with having a uterus. Don’t get me wrong; I think it is time we had female representation in the White House, but only if it exemplifies our agenda. The “Female Agenda” wants environmentally sound policies, which will leave our children a better world then we found it. The “Female Agenda” wants to practice diplomacy and mediation to the max, before we commit the lives of our children to war. The “Female Agenda” believes in lending a hand to those who are less fortunate then us, even if we have to tighten our own belt to find the money or time. The “Female Agenda” believes in a fiscally sound budget and that sometimes we have to tell our children no, there isn’t enough money right now. If they truly want something they will have to work and save up for it; so should our government. The “Female Agenda” supports the dignity of all living things and their right to choose their own way. The “Female Agenda” believes you not only help the sick, but you help them make healthy choices. The “Female Agenda” believes that “if you do the crime you do the time”, but let’s really educate our children to what is right and what is wrong and hold them responsible for positive behavior early on. The “Female Agenda” is not interested in the “Good ole Boys” game. We have spent a century watching the building of one of the most advanced societies, thank you. But we get it now, and we want a new game. It is time for a revolution of thinking; we don’t just want a woman representing an enlightened society, we want the agenda to get it there!.

Peace to all, life to all, love to all.
