		<description><![CDATA[ According to MomsRising, Today, the U.S. is one of only four countries that doesn&#8217;t have paid leave for new mothers. The others are Papua New Guinea, Swaziland and Liberia. We also lag behind in paid sick days and flexible work options so we can participate in our children&#8217;s schools and be at home before and after school hours.     
A full three-quarters of mothers are in the workforce, yet mothers are 79% less likely to be hired than non-mothers with equal resumes and job experiences. Single mothers make just 60 cents to a man&#8217;s dollar.

<p>I love the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.momsrising.org">Moms Rising </a>position because they are not going to endorse one candidate. They are going to campaign so that EVERY candidate, Republicans and Democrats, understand that American Moms are over being treated with such a lack of respect and appreciation. And so are our kids.</p>
<p>Impossible? I&#8217;ll tell you what&#8217;s impossible . . .</p>
<p><em>Women won the right to vote when only men were allowed to vote.</em></p>
<p>More flexible employment policy that allows more parents time with their children?</p>
<p>Since women make up half the voting population and fathers have a vested interest in a better working environment for the family as well, well I&#8217;d call that <em>totally achievable.</em></p>
<p>Check out yesterday&#8217;s story over at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.solomother.com/one-voice-will-not-be-heard-a-million-voices-can-change-the-world/">Solo Mother</a>. She asks a lot of very valid questions about why women didn&#8217;t even vote in the last election.</p>
