COME TOGETHER!
If a number of things fall into place and the right people win a few key races come November, the United States Congress could -- could! -- be comprised of 20 percent women in 2015.
That's according to analysis done by Time magazine of Rutgers University's Center for American Women and Politics, which earlier this week outlined the gender composition of the 2014 field of candidates. The Senate is already at 20 percent, but the House lags behind. In 2015, though, the U.S. Congress could be one-fifth of the people who comprise more than one half of the population. Imagine!
We were curious, though, how this has changed over time. So we pulled data (including from the excellent archives of the House) on the diversity of Congress since its inception. The long story short is the story you already know: The Congress has always been and continues to be the domain of white men.
how long will those White voters and some Bino's continue to keep putting the same do nothings back in office ladies "CARPE DIEM" it's time it's ripe throw the bums out elect more women but be careful who those women are it appears all the republican women are loyally blind to the aggression against them and support it why??? who knows but there are plenty of their voters that are not totally inhumane and Dems talk to each other get it going on you are the one's we've been waqit8ing for, remember the words of Helen Reddy "I AM WOMAN HEARME ROAR" deafen the ears of republicans and take your rightful place in determining your and our futures. "YES WE CAN!"
