Stand for Women Hillary

You know I am a die hard Hillary supporter but I am afraid Bo will order her to wear a headscarf when meeting with middle east patriarchs which will be an insult to all free women. Why do I think she will do this? Because Albrecht, Pelosi, AND Clinton have done this in the past. Condi Rice never did. In fact, she refused when she first took office and was threatened with ostracism if she "did not show the proper respect" to Saudi males by covering her head. Condi Rice, a single, childless, pro choice woman, refused and in fact set up a network of Muslim Women working for equality in the Office of International Women's Issues in the State Dept. She has done more for women globally than any other SoS to date.

Biden's IVAWA will gut the Office of Inter'l Women's Issues, and replace the civil service workers. If you have any influence with Hillary, ask her to meet with Condi Rice and follow her lead in assisting Muslim Women in patriarchal countries. Please ask her not to adopt the appeasement methods of Madeline Albrecht. Rice has set up many relationships with Afghan women, 17 regional women's centers and economic development programs. Hillary MUST continue to be a symbol of freedom to women all over the globe for her sake, our sake and for women's equality. Encouraging signs here.

SoS Rice: Secretary Rice (Nov. 13): "For a country that has come so far – a country that has come so far in overcoming deep differences, differences that were so severe that a girl like me, grew up in segregated Birmingham, Alabama to now elect an African American President is an extraordinary matter, and it says to the world that differences can be overcome." more
