I reread your article and found it interesting to note that you worked on title nine of the social security amendments. This is interesting to me. I think you can probably understand why I would be interested in such details (title nine) coming from my social work back ground and all.

I would be interested in listening to your life journey of how you came to do all of these things. Are you by any chance teaching at a university that gave you such an opportunity?. I am wondering how to get in touch to listen to your story.

Thank you for writing your views on Gloria’s Steinem’s recent editoral. I meant to thank you but got on my soap box. I guess I had a lot of opinions as a woman and a professional that got held in for along time.

As a woman and as a college graduate with a master’s in social work, I have been dismayed at the National Organization of Women and what they think feminism is about. I have also been dismayed at issues like the use of race in this present election by this democratic president to insulate himself from issues during the Clinton run in the primaries.

I am a conservative woman, pro-life woman that is against the Roe v. Wade decision and I believe Palin is too. We both answer to a higher power as we believe life to be very important.

It isn’t that she will not hear Dr. Lynette Long Janet, she will be convicted to vote her conscious. We (Palin and myself) are still women but the value of taking a human life is too much for us to (spiritually/emotionally) conceive; that our nation allows so many abortions as a mantle of choice.

Roe v. Wade cuts across our spiritual lives as a violation to us (pro-lifers) as much like rape would be to all women of character. Having said this, I know, I have opened myself to the pro-abortion slanders (behaviors) that comes out of the pro-choice side of the issue.

I used to be a democrat and voted democratically religiously. I have felt the democratic party has gone too far left and left me in the dust for my conservative values. I knew the democratic party was moving too liberal when the democratic party was moving to support gay issues (including same sex marriage); sex education for public education that included condoms (only we called in social work as safe sex education)–thereby deceiving our children that having sex is safe and we were sending mixed signals that we agreed that children should be having sex. The removal of the ten commandments from a court house and a judge who refused to remove them. All of these issues have a spiritual side to it that can be destructive to the soul. But, we allow the legislature and courts to make these value assessments on morality daily.

We have viewed government as the answer. I do not know if any of you are aware of the fact that all our government offices were founded on Judea Christian Values. If you doubt this claim I direct you to “The Christian Life and Character of The Civil Institutions of The United States” by Benjamin F. Morris; “Christianity and the American Commonwealth” by Charles B. Galloway; America’s Christian History (The Untold Story) by Gary Demar. As a social worker, I know that Democrats have supported social programs more than Republicans have in the past; and voting democratic would have helped my social work job too (self interests). But as an american, I had to put my vote into the candidate that would best serve the american people. This vote has been for a Republican President for the past 8 years at least. I became one of those security mom’s after September 11, 2001. I was serving in a government building at the time as a social worker.

Lynette Long speaks about the media attacks on women in her article, upon which this new group of women has come into being. The media has also be brutal upon our present President. George W. Bush– I think there are times that this man needed defended too. Media bias needs to a broader goal in getting journalism back to reporting news more objectively. We have lost this from the olden days. It seems regulating rules are needed from Wall Street to Journalism…due to the morality of human kind. Could it possibly be sin?.

We ask for people to look beyond our gender–shouldn’t we do the same?

This feminist is voting for Obama.
