“You Don’t Own Me” PSA from You Don’t Own Me on Vimeo.

Women constitute more than half of the population. In 2008, 60% of voters were women. It is estimated that 10 million more women than men will vote in this election. Despite this, women make up only 16% of Congress. Women earn only 70 cents to each dollar men make. Women of color and undocumented women make less than white citizens. Mitt Romney and the Republican Party are determined to overturn Roe V. Wade. Romney has not supported equal pay for women (The Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act). Romney has vowed to defund Planned Parenthood. Romney has vowed to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Romney doesn’t want health care to cover birth control. Romney says same sex marriage should be banned with a Constitutional Amendment.

To all those who want to ridcule and mock, screw you.  It really is a war over economic power.  Unless women have total control over their own reproduction, they will never have economic equality.

To the men who want to belittle and who are doing a last grasp at their own place in the world, you were a majority for ever so long.  Bend over, tell it good bye.  It’s now time to share the power and the glory.

When you are a vintage woman you can say what you want, when you want, and for as long as you want.

M-H

Today our guest post is from Steve Thomas.  Steve is chairman of the Manassas City GOP.  I invited him to post here about his feelings about the referendum on the City ballot about changing the local elections in the City to November.  A big thanks to Steve for sharing his thoughts on this important issue.  We have many City folks who come to this blog and I feel they are often under-represented.

 

May Is For Manassas!

Thank you for the opportunity to guest-contribute to Moon Howlings. On Tuesday, Manassas City voters will cast their ballots to decide a question that could have some very profound impacts on the quality of government we receive in the future.  While voting to decide this question, they will also vote for President, Senator, and Congressman.  Lost in the rhetorical roar of national campaigns, there has been little public discussion on a proposition to move Manassas elections for Mayor, City Council, and School Board from May to November.   If local elections were to be moved, they would fall on the same day as the Presidential, Senatorial, and Congressional elections are held.

From today, Sunday, November 4, 2012, until the results from the presidential election are in, the Moonhowlers  blog is Obama Country.

If you came here to make sh!tty comments, don’t.  It’s over.  Regular contributors  who very much belong here feel like they are in a hostile environment.  I can understand that.

Obama supporters have endured negative and hostile remarks for over 4 years.  For the next 4 days, I have declared this blog to be a sanctuary for Obama supporters.

To my blue friends….you asked…you received.

Feel free to talk about the fact that I am a repressive facist pig.  Now that’s newsworthy.  Meanwhile, enjoy the blue time.

Romney supporters are welcome.  We aren’t just going to have a feeding frenzy here against Obama.  Enough is enough and people felt like they were being bullied.  Most people can converse without bullying.  There are lots of other things to talk about.

Check out Steve Thomas’s well thought out reason for keeping voting for local officials in May.

Check out storm news.  There is just a lot to talk about.
