Republican Chair: Empowering Half the Population

Celebrating the anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment (Aug. 26, 1920) —  granting all women the right to vote — is especially significant in today's political, economic and social environment.  

The principles of the U.S. Constitution, primarily equality under the law, are fulfilled by allowing all eligible voters of legal age and legal residence in the United States to participate in the electoral process. This means not only can women vote for the candidate of their choice, they can be candidates.

Contributions of women in our society are recognized as equal to those of men. Laws enacted by our legislative bodies must have the support of women to be effective and successful.

While the United States has embraced a woman's right to vote, we still fall behind in equal representation in our government on all levels.

Women continuously demonstrate that we are capable of rational thought, forward thinking and sound judgement in all phases of our lives.

With a woman's innate desire to cooperate and compromise with our opponents rather than conquer them, it would seem those practices are a natural approach to solving our country's critical issues rather than what we are experiencing in Washington today.

A friend of mine astutely pointed out that God gave Adam his mate in Eve, placing her by his side to help him grow and prosper. Any male dominated society that represses or limits the female population simply loses half of its potential.  

America is blessed that we embrace equality for all.
