Fellow Feminists for Obama and I addressed these issues in A Powered Woman: Feminist Platform for Obama, which exists as a Google Doc. It's radical in its vision. I will post the link here if I can...

Ruben Navarrette Jr. is a nationally syndicated columnist with the Washington Post Writers Group. If Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano wins confirmation as secretary of homeland security, she will be responsible for enforcing the nation's immigration laws. This is a chilling thought for those of us who have witnessed up close how Napolitano can be vexed to the point of paralysis by...
