On April 2, 1917, Jeannette Rankin was sworn in as the first woman member of Congress.   104 years later, we have a record number of women serving. But while women are 50% of the population, they are still just 27% of Congress.   We must continue making progress. — PolitiTweet.org

The issue of civil rights and voting rights, these constitutional issues, should never be sacrificed on the altar of the filibuster. I don’t understand why we can’t see that my constitutional rights should not be subjected to anybody’s filibuster. — PolitiTweet.org
