From an article by Rebecca Traister on Salon.com last week, "Making women's issues go away":
A damning new report reveals that the Bush administration has quietly removed 25 reports from its Women's Bureau Web site, deleting or distorting crucial information on issues from pay equity to reproductive healthcare.If you'd logged onto the Department of Labor's Women's Bureau Web site in 1999, you would have found a list of more than 25 fact sheets and statistical reports on topics ranging from "Earning Differences Between Men and Women" to "Facts About Asian American and Pacific Islander Women" to "Women's Earnings as Percent of Men's 1979-1997."
Not anymore. Those fact sheets no longer exist on the Women's Bureau Web site, and have instead been replaced with a handful of peppier titles, like "Hot Jobs for the 21st Century" and "20 Leading Occupations for Women." It's just one example of the ways in which the Bush administration is dismantling or distorting information on women's issues, from pay equity to reproductive healthcare, according to "Missing: Information About Women's Lives," a new report released Wednesday by the National Council for Research on Women.
The full report is available here.
why is it the bush administration is so concentrated on iraq instead of concentrating on bin laden who is a major threat to our country except for the oil kickback he is getting. why is it our money is being used for other things other than our own country. why is it our jobs are getting shipped over seas. why is it our teachers have to take donations to get thru the school year. why is anyone has to take donations to get by anymore. why is it our exports are lower than the imports in billions of dollars. everyone is saying there is a monopoly and buracracy in washington and why can't the people take their country back. instead of letting them just do what they want in washington. prices are going sky high on everything but our wages is staying the same that is an economic imbalance but shows everything is ok. false reading i think. that's all for now.
