Hardworking men and women deserve not only job security, but also a paycheck when they need to take time off to care for a loved one.

Hardworking men and women deserve not only job security, but also a paycheck when they need to take time off to care for a loved one.

There is no greater call to service than that of our brave men and women who serve our country in combat across the globe.

As a 10-year-old girl, I would listen to my grandmother discuss issues, and she made a lasting impression on me.

I find that when you open the door toward openness and transparency, a lot of people will follow you through.

The story we hear over and over again is: Boy in science class, very nice to the girl, says, "Please come to our party on Saturday night." She, of course, shows up. He hands her two, three, four, five drinks. She becomes so inebriated he says, "You can sleep it off in my room. It'll be safe." Or, "I'll walk you home." It's all premeditated with the intention of having sex with that woman without her consent when she's passed out. It's a huge issue.

While we can't begin to repay the debt we owe our veterans for their brave service, we can certainly take steps to ease the physical, psychological and financial hardships they may be experiencing.
