In my neighborhood, when you've got something to say to a guy, you look him in the eye and you say it to him.

President Clinton bankrupted Chrysler so that Italians could buy it to ship jobs overseas to China.

This attitude of how society views women as chattel - that's the biggest thing to overcome. When I first started a stake in the issue of relationship abuse, I got really beat up by the Christian right because I was interfering in what was a personal family affair. It's a "family matter." That's why I wish we'd drop the phrase "domestic violence." It sounds like a domesticated cat. It is the most vicious of all crimes - to be abused by someone you had a relationship with! Because then you blame yourself.

Success will come when the societal attitude changes and not a single woman in America asks herself the question 'What did I do?'.
