Please read Mother's Day Proclamation by Julia Ward Howe. My first desire over anything is to vote for Peace ,Barack was the only one I noticed who said no to Iraq before it had a chance to begin ,he thought for himself and us ,as I was alone thinking the same thoughts without a voice and he spoke,thus representing my soul and still does. If he were a woman would you pick him over Ms. Clinton,yes!

I reject any brand of feminism that would have me compromise my intellect, my conscience, my integrity, and my individual freedom to vote where I please. And for whom? For Hillary? What do they take me for? My vote is my own my own my own and I will resist every sister who will have me betray my own heart. Obama for this Korean-American feminist. Oh yeah, and I'm over 40 too. Take that too, Gloria! Not in my name indeed. I reject any brand of feminism that would have me compromise my intellect, my conscience, my integrity, and my individual freedom to vote where I please.

THe best candidate is the one that stirs my soul. Obama. I was sure about him when he was the Keynote Speaker at Kerry's convention. He moved me to believe that government does not have to be the menace I see it as now. Womanist until I die, Clinton does not move me!

Margaret Thatcher didn't necessarily change the lives of women for the better. In fact, it's amost as if she had to prove she was as tough as the lads! To her credit, though, her route to political leadership wasn't through family dynasty, as implied in the article.

I wish that more feminists realized that. Since I wouldn't support Clinton's policies if she were a he, why should I support her?
