Right after 9/11 there was a magazine with a cover of kids, mostly 12-14 year-olds, who were being trained for military combat. I thought that this had just gone too far.

During the election, I had three male opponents and we went into a runoff. The front runner for the men was a native of Dallas who had run at large before, but I had a higher profile than him from my community service.

Well, I happen to believe all business is female business.

I came up in a family oriented towards the sick, so I always felt an obligation for doing something.

I said we needed to organize women around the world to push peace.

There is not an issue that a woman cannot bring a perspective to.

I'm not the only one who feels the sting of continually losing.
