I have noticed a marked improvement in FEMA and with the coordination of FEMA and the State agencies.

Part of the redesign of FEMA is that they have so many people on standby, whether it is a retired nurse or a doctor who will take time off to go exactly where they are needed.

As is the case with many Middle Eastern nations, women are nowhere near equal to men when it comes to basic freedoms and rights that we take for granted every day.

Let us face it, the U.N. has failed. It has failed in its mission to promote world peace.

I have the highest number of Social Security recipients of any Member of Congress, and it is always good to hear about how women in their districts are affected by any changes, by the need for changes in Social Security.

First, women are more likely to live in poverty during their retirement years than are men.

The women who pass away before they receive Social Security, for them this is nothing but a tax from which they or their family will never receive a benefit.
