I've earned two master's degrees, but neither program taught me as much as I learned by raising my two kids.
If anything, moms should get a raise for the extra experience, wisdom, and productivity they bring to the table, but instead we have been denied equal pay for equal work.

Fossil fuels take millions of years to form.
According to the Bible, the Earth is 6,000 years old.
So, the passages that Scott Pruitt is referencing don't support his plan to burn more fossil fuels, they support my plan to transition to 100% renewable energy.

Janesville City Council to Consider Resolution to Force Citys Most Diverse Neighborhoods to Vote in a Police Station
By Cathy Myers - Feb 12th, 2018 04:06 pm
Janesville, WI Tonight, the Janesville City Council will consider a resolution to temporarily move the polling place of the citys two most ethnically diverse neighborhoods to a police station.
Cathy Myers, the 24-year high school teacher and two-term Janesville School Board member who is challenging Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, sees the change as just the latest assault on the voting rights of African American voters in Wisconsin.
Myers said, Since Scott Walker took office, Wisconsin Republicans have taken away the voice of African American voters through unconstitutional gerrymandering and the strictest voter ID law in the country.
The polling location change is temporary due to construction at the citys municipal building, but moving the voting location is expecting to have a chilling effect on minority communities in the cities most diverse neighborhoods, Wards 3 and 4.
Myers continued, The Janesville Police Department has made great strides in reaching out to minority communities, thanks in large part to the ongoing dialogue between police and the Janesville African American Liaison Committee. But if a single voter is discouraged from exercising their right to vote due to the location of a polling place, its one too many.
Lonnie Brigham, Chair of the African American Liaison Committee opposed the move, historically police have been used to intimidate and suppress black voters, and this is just another example of that.
