I am hoping as I read of John McCain's choice for Vice President (Gov. Sarah Palin) women don't just vote for her because she is a woman.
Women have come so far but not far enough. I have to beautiful daughters that I want to be able to decide what happens to their body.
I have a mother that supported and followed my father around the world as an Air Force wife. She is unable to work and my parents do not make enough money for healthcare. My father can go to the VA Hospital, as long as he doesn't make much money. He did two tours in Vietnam and served his country for years and has to prove to the VA every year he can't afford healthcare.
My parents struggled to getting my brother and me thorough college, using my fathers 401K. They gave everything for us to have a better life. I plan to do the same for my daughters.
This is not the world I want for my children or grand children. I hope everybody will take the time to stop and ask themselves are we better off today, then eight years ago.
