Breast Cancer Awareness: Know the risks, know your rights

Breast Cancer Awareness: Know the risks, know your rights

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is dedicated to increasing awareness of the importance of early breast cancer detection, because early detection-as with any cancer- plays a huge role in increasing ones chance of survival. One in eight women will be affected by breast cancer in their lifetimes, a ratio that has been on the rise over the past few decades.

Watching last week's game, I was reminded of just how hard our women work -- on and off the floor. These ladies took time from their busy schedule, time away from their families, to support a great cause. The annual game benefits the Young Survival Coalition, a breast cancer charity. This year the Women Members took on the ladies of the DC press corps, with a special appearance by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who threw out the first pitch.

Cong. Debbie Wasserman Schultz: the vibrant leader we need

Right after reading an awesome profile of Cong. Debbie Wasserman Schultz in the New York Times, I got to see the real deal in person, right here in Portland, Oregon. The occasion? Cong. Earl Blumenauer’s annual power luncheon for women. It’s kind of like American Idol for women in politics

EMILY’s List women say it best: you seriously want to shut down the government over Planned Parenthood?

EMILY’s List women say it best: you seriously want to shut down the government over Planned Parenthood?

Faced with increasingly likelihood of a government shutdown, EMILY’s List women in Congress are doing what they do best – representing our interests by telling it like it is. Here’s what our advocates have to say about Republican brinksmanship over funding Planned Parenthood, which has nothing to do with fiscal responsibility and everything to do with an anti-woman agenda.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz: GOP's Anti-Woman, Anti-Child Agenda

Debbie Wasserman Schultz: GOP's Anti-Woman, Anti-Child Agenda

By Hilary Nachem on 02/17/2011 @ 10:00 AM

Tags: Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Boehner's Boys, Why Women

Rep. Wasserman Schultz knows just how Boehner and his caucus have pulled a bait-and-switch move on the American people. They continue to ignore the demands of their constituents, who want job creation, and instead continue their anti-woman, anti-child agenda. They push on -- inching our country closer and closer to Boehner's America -- to the peril of our mothers, sisters, and families.

A moving tribute by Obama in Tucson – and a miraculous moment for Gabby

A moving tribute by Obama in Tucson – and a miraculous moment for Gabby

President Obama gave a poignant, powerful speech yesterday in Tucson at a memorial service for the victims of Saturday’s shooting, including Cong. Gabrielle Giffords. Our president’s words were that of a public servant honoring others who serve us; a man who shared in our grief at the senseless violence; and a father who wants a better country for his two young daughters.

We were shocked to watch Republican members of Congress attempt to silence members of the Democratic Women's Caucus as they spoke on the House floor this Saturday.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL) knocked it out of the park last night -- at least as far as fundraising goes.
