:illiamson said the federation
did a lot of Zork in 214, but needs
to do more to Jet more Republicans
elected in 2reJon, Zhere Democrats
dominate. The primary issues for
Zomen in the state are Mobs and hiJh
unemployment.
³:hat’s JoinJ on in the capital
is terrible riJht noZ for the 2reJon
people,´ she said. ³,t’s only JoinJ
to be Zorse raisinJ the minimum
ZaJe,´
³The other problem is the health
care system in this state only bene¿ ts
people on 0edicaid,´ she continued.
³They’ve spent all the health care
money. The state isn’t JoinJ to Jet
any more money back from the f eds,
so Ze’re left to fend for ourselves to
Jet insurance and the insurance com-
panies are raisinJ their rates. This
is terrible for sinJle mothers Zith
children.´
From her home in 0issouri,
Almond said there are 23 mil-
lion unreJistered voters in the 8.S.
Zho lean Republican. ³,n 214 the
1ational Federation of Republican
:omen loJJed over 4.2 million vol-
unteer campaiJn hours,´ she said.
³,f you put that at 1 an hour, that
means Republican Zomen Jave 42
million Zorth of our time for our
candidates across the country. There
are 6 million Zomen belonJinJ to
the n ational f ederation. :orkinJ side
