Government Budget

Why isn't every woman in this country calling their representatives and decrying the assault on the progress that women have made in last 100 years?  The U.S. House of Representatives just voted against funding Planned Parenthood and  includes a 50 percent cut in the budget of the newly formed Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

The conservative movement in this country has an agenda that should concern us all.  They do not believe that women should work.  They do not believe that women should have control over their reproductive decisions.

The conservatives have long stated that they intend to "starve the beast" referring to social programs.  They prefer to cut taxes for the ultra rich rather than fund programs that would help the working class.
