What would you like to ask the Obama Administration?

who in the administration is responsible for focusing on the new alarming stats that African American girls are experiencing a unprecedented increase
in incarceration?

Do your job! We the people need employment! The same we the people who voted your ass in!

I'd like to ask: Why, as a member of the military, do I make pennies on the dollar compared to civilians doing my same job? Why are you talking about cutting the defense budget when we already live under the poverty level? Especially when you travel wherever you want to go in Air Force One, go on frequent vacations, and the First Lady has 5 personal stylists?

I'd like to ask WTF are you doing in Libya?

when the bureaucratic cookie jar is locked...
we have a fighting chance....

I would like to ask. Was G. Bush the most dumbest a---- we ever had in the White House. I would also like to know. Do I have to buy a White sheet and hood to join the T Party

Yo all I care about is why in the heck are gas prices so damn high.... Everything else I'm cool about but paying almost 4.00 a gallon is really starting to get to me..... Other than that Obama I think your doing a great job!

What I would like to ask is why are there so many woman (and actually men too but since this topic is just about women I will only discuss them) who are going to lose their jobs that work on military bases, including marines, all because our President will not sign a piece of paper to set our budget for the next year. Thousands upon thousands of people including marines fighting overseas are going to lose their jobs for an unknown amount of time until the budget is set. The last time this happened it only lasted two weeks. Now the people who are going to lose their jobs include my mother, the director of 3 military base libraries, and also thousands of marines fighting overseas. Now my mother will be forced to just stay at home and worry about money because by law she is not allowed to look for another job or file for unemployment because she is a federal employee. However the marines fighting overseas will still have to continue fighting for their lives and our country but without pay. My question is where is the justice, and when will our budget be set so that our hardworking federal employees may keep their jobs and be able to live their lives without worry of becoming broke and homeless?

My name is Sylvia, and my question to the White House administration on women and girls as it pertains to family inclusive of education and balancing the work force. In compelling times such as this where the economy is in the shape it is in and research shows that many women and children have been effected by the economic issues how do we during these times get the social and economic balance and structure to accure where in which we can have more support systems and net works that work for the families and not against them? As a career woman who has had to balance work and family I have been met with a great deal of hardship not becasue of the econimic recession but becasue of the out come of the recession. I have litarrally in some venues gone from a respected educated woman with a beautiful household to a displaced unfit mother (as may seem and in the opinions of some). I have found that families in my case that have worked and toiled and educated themselves are not able to get the benefits that states have to help stabalize a family during these times. In your reseach what have you found to support the families of those effected by the economy and not because of their own will doing. Unfortunatly, the mold mixes together and once that happens it very difficult to unmix this new social and economic phenomena. How do purpose to seperate the two and what policys and or practices from the Federal to Sate level down do you plan ot implement and most of all coordinate such measures so that local state level entities are educated and knowledge in being able to seperate, distinguish and identify the facts around the issues? The problem I have had in trying to deal with this issues is that becasue of stereo types, biasis, prejudice, and personal opionion I have met the most ignorant of people. Ignorant because they fail to listern hear and learn. This is the perfect time for many state agencies and local government to become informed and progressive and activly involved around what is happening in their state hands on rather than distant managing and dis-connected governments.

Women and men with young children have trouble balancing the demands of career and family. What is the Obama administration doing to encourage flexible work options such as telecommuting and flexible hours? How can we help?

Thank you for your work on equality of opportunity for women. I am thrilled that there is a White House Council on Women and Girls, and I've followed your work since Valerie Jarrett met with BlogHer a couple years ago. I was particularly excited when I saw that the Council on Women and Girls was co-sponsoring an event with NASA for Women's History Month.

But you let me down when you featured cheerleaders at the NASA event two weeks ago. Equality of opportunity means that it shouldn't matter what you look like, how cute you are, how young you are, or how physically abled you are for jobs in science and engineering. Yes, by all means, let's encourage girls and young women to go into science, engineering, technology, and math (STEM) careers - but let's give them role models of women succeeding in science and engineering careers to emulate, and tell them that those women are cool too.

Sincerely,

As you know, women now make up about half of the workforce and two-earner families are the norm in families with children. The Obama Administration has been terrific in supporting paid family leave and paid sick days policies. Although this is exactly the time when working families need these policies the most to avoid income and job loss, the current economic climate has made it hard to pass new work-family policies. How does the Administration plan to leverage its clout to keep the need for paid sick days and paid family leave front and center in conversations about job quality and econmic recovery?

United for Equality, LLC, a social justice enterprise based in Washington, DC is spearheading a revival of the Equal Rights Amendment in the 112th Congress. Has President Obama endorsed HJ#47 Removing the Ratification Time Limit on the Equal Rights Amendment since IL never ratified ERA? ERA would give women and girls equal protection, representation and opportunity under federal mandate - the US Constitution. We only need three more states to eliminate legalized sex discrimination that continues to hurt men, women and children. Democrats are looking for justice. ERA is economic, political and social justice. ERA is for America's recovery and future global competitiveness.

Why isn't the White House out front on getting Equal Rights Amendment passed? We are so hypocritical telling other countries they have to equalize women when we do not. I was in Cuba with AAUW talking to women there-it was an embarrassment not having such constitutional protection.

I would like to know why my wife has to fight to get disability. She has been in the workplace since she was 18 yrs., old(now 59). She has arthrits so bad in her hips she can barley stand or sit forperiods of timeas a very bad bladder the is very embarassing to her lots of times. Her migraines can put her down for a 2 days at a time & she is having to fight for disability, I have to put her socks & shoes on her, help her out of the tub & fix our meals. This all hurts her because she was the one that used to do all of the. Why does the SS Board judge her so harshly, can't they just see she can not do it any longer? She has been to every doctor that they have ask her to see. If she was anyone other than a 59 year old white woman, she would probably have it by now. This is not right to her.

President Obama,
What are you doing about the corruption in the family courts? What about 58,000 children a year being taken away from the protective mother and being placed in the custody of the abusive father?Why are my tax dollars funding father's rights groups that are fighting to take children away from the protective mothers commiting the children to spending the rest of their lives with an abusive father? I hope you will listen to the Mothers who will be marching in DC on Mother's Day.
