Wow! With Wales, Scotland, Sweden, Denmark and so many other countries national legislatures and all French city councils gender balanced (between 40 to 50 percent women, or better put, of each and both genders in their legislatures) and so many other countries like Germany, Netherlands, Austria, Costa Rica, Spain, South Africa, New Zealand and Canada's Senate at or above 30-something percent in representation of women and India with 33 1/3% women's representation legislation pending in committee, the US, with only 13% women in Congress and England with only 18% women in Parliament should be especially ashamed of not being gender representative and balanced. The US, with its huge budget, and flag-waving pretense of democracy, should be especially embarrassed that well more than half its people, women of all colors and men of all colors who want to see women in office because they actually trust and love women as much and sometimes even more than men, are this severely underrepresented. We've looked around and found quite a bit on this topic - quite convincing, in fact, urgent and sobering. What's amazing is how little of this is told on the now totally untrustworthy tv and radio who clearly will not tell us what lead up to World War III until we are too dead and maimed to care what happened. So it's up to those who learn about gender representation to tell others, whether by email, fax, flier or word of mouth. What self-respecting woman or fair man wouldn't agree with phrases like "In this day and age, if it isn't more or less gender balanced, it isn't government -- it's just organized domination that's dangerous to democracy, preying on its own people and dangerous to the world". http://www.ipu.org/wmn-e/classif.htm http://www.ipu.org/wmn-e/world.htm http://www.guardian.co.uk/women/story/0,3604,952106,00.html http://businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/apr2003/nf20030415_4958_db028.htm http://www.international-community.de/ic0400/frm_int.htm http://www.engender.org.uk/scotparl/ http://www.the-week.com/99nov28/events4.htm http://indiabroaddaily.com/2000/12/20/20women.html http://www.geocities.com/ark_earthinbalance/home.html http://www.un.org/womenwatch/osagi/fpgenderbalancestats.htm http://www.geocities.com/talkofthenations/TOTN.html http://www.geocities.com/inallherandhisnames/seeing.html http://www.ids.ac.uk/bridge/ http://www.socintwomen.org/QUOTA/QUOTAEng1.html http://www.geocities.com/genderbalancedemocracypower/gbdp.html http://www.europrofem.org http://www.geocities.com/gossipgoodwords/index.html http://womenstrike8m.server101.com/English/intro.htm http://www.geocities.com/global_lysistrata/global_lysistrata.html http://groups.msn.com/shequality/ http://www.geocities.com/valleyofthepols/livingherandhisstory.html Need a new email address that people can remember Check out the new EudoraMail at http://www.eudoramail.com
