Federal Congressional Branch
Our
current viral and chaotic condition shows that mayors, governors, and those in
the halls of Congress are going to be our political and fiscal saving grace;
not the federal executive branch.
At
this point, there are only a handful of men and women doing the right things
for us, “We
The People”.
Washington DC has hung “We The People” out to dry; sold us ALL down the river.
This
is NOT a partisan political essay. We are
looking strictly at the numbers as they pertain to the ideals of “taxation with
no representation”.
How
about using the House of Representatives, State and Local platforms as launch
pads to give women a lot more access onto our political platforms? We have some
women
in elected Local, State, & Federal positions. It is painfully obvious that
we need, yes, hundreds more.
Three
major questions:
Ø When was the last time a woman started
a war?
Ø When was the last time you saw a woman
run a State into the ground?
Ø When was the last time you saw a woman
bankrupt a city, town, or village?
Let’s
look at some numbers.
Women, as a percentage of the
population:
§ 157.0 million female, (50.8 %)
§ 151.8 million male, (49.2 %)
Women in Congress:
Why
start with the Congress
of
the United States?
They
control most of the purse
strings
when it comes to
allocating
money & passing Laws.
As of November 2019, there were 101 women in the U.S. House of Representatives (not counting four female territorial delegates), making women 23.2% of the total of U.S. Representatives. Women represent 50.8 % of the 2010 Census population in the U.S. So, we need to increase the number here by almost:
250%.
As of January 2020,
there are 26 women serving in the United States Senate, 17 Democrats, and 9 Republicans,
the highest proportion of women serving
as U.S. senators in our
history. There are 50 Senators, so:
The Senate is
properly
represented by women.
Women Governors:
1. Currently, 9 women are serving as governors of U.S. states, along with the Mayor of the District of Columbia Muriel Bowser, and territorial governors Lou Leon Guerrero of Guam and Wanda Vázquez Garced of Puerto Rico. That comes to 53 Governors, and gives women only 16%. We need to increase that number by just over:
300%.
Women
Mayors:
(cities over 30,000)
1.
As of September 2019, per the U.S. Conference
of Mayors, of the 1,366 mayors, 300 (22.0%) were women. We need to
increase that number by:
230%.
Who started most wars?
US Has Killed More Than 20 Million People in
37 “Victim Nations” Since World War II. Since the United
States was founded in 1776, she has been at war during
her 240 (till 2016) calendar years of existence. That means that for 222 out of
240 years – or 93% of the time – America has been at war.
And, still no woman in the Oval Office!
Are we that stupid?
Are we that stupid?
Why
women don't start wars
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Next, we will have a look at our Judicial System & the Executive Branch as they pertain to women in positions of power.
