In 100 words or less tell us how you are a leader
I am leader because held in the pass several positions in which I was a mentor and leader
Here is some example of what I accomplished and showed clearly my leadership

• Animal husbandry teacher and manager of a farm of 1600 acres in Agricultural institute for males only (all teachers and staff were male except me ). I was the only female teaching and training male technicians I worked hard to convince the ministry of agriculture to change this institute to a Co-Ed. After 10 years my dream was achieved.

Can you support to petition to add Judge Ann Claire Williams, Judge Sonia Sotomayor and Judge Marjorie Rendell to the president's shortlist for the US Supreme Court?

Dear Micaela
Sorry for the delay 1/ I was out of country for work, 2/ last Monday I broke my forearm at volley ball GAME with my work team. So I am typing with one hand.

Here are my synopsis regarding what women need form the government and what the 2 parties advocate for


What women need form the government
From previous meeting at international levels it was suggested to implement the following elements in order to allow women’s full economic contributions. These elements are:
• Expand economic opportunities in areas where women are traditionally under-represented;
• Empower and increase capacity building of women to respond to economic opportunities and challenges;
• Eliminate barriers to women's full participation in the economy;
• Recognize the economic contributions of women's unpaid work and that APEC economies address, where possible,
• Increase the availability and quality of sex-disaggregated data, research, and analytical information;


This what each party advocate for:

Republicans:
1. They legislate for minimum restrictions and regulations on business activity.
2. Low, low and lower taxes.
3. Little support for welfare and minimal support for public schools.
4. Support for “private schools” i.e., Religious Schools and “Selective” Schools (segregated by class, religion, race, etc.)
5. Faith-based Welfare: i.e., Tax money could be given to Church (religious) programs that feed or help poor people or those hurt by flood, hurricane, etc. (Currently, the religious groups must not use government (tax) money: “Separation of Church and State”.
6. Strong Military: e.g. A lot of money goes to the Military-Industrial complex of businesses that make tanks, missiles, ships and military equipment and their export to other countries.
7. Little or no regulation on the sale of pistols, rifles, and shotguns to the public (including military assault rifles even though all of this nation’s Police Departments want a ban on assault weapons).
8. Republicans believe in Laissez-Faire” economics “let the people do as they choose.


Democrats:
1. Fair taxes: The higher the income the greater the % of taxes.
2. Spend the taxes.
On education programs for all ages include retraining of workers without jobs.
On assistance programs for poor people: Free School lunches, Health programs and
Health Insurance and on retirement (Social Security).
3. Regulations to insure equal pay for equal work; More inspections of Agricultural products; Monitoring of new pharmaceuticals after approval; Workplace safety; Set air and water quality and monitor them etc;. Banking and monetary regulations that would have prevented the current monetary crisis!!! Roosevelt put those in place in the late 1930’s. Beginning with Pres. Reagan in 1980 the Republicans have continually passed legislation to delete, limit, or avoid such laws and regulations.
4. Use taxes to support only public schools; raise teacher salaries; build more schools. Subsidize schools in economically depressed areas. Give all students the same opportunity beginning with Kindergarten classes.
5. Universal Health Care (as most of the rest of the developed, prosperous nations already have).
6. Adequate military: Negotiate first; be prepared to defend the country.
7. Separation of Church and State. Federal and State laws should operate fairly for people of any religion or no religious convictions. Moral behavior and fair behavior is possible without religious convictions as well as with most religious convictions.
8. Hunting rifles and shotguns and most pistols should be available to law-abiding citizens. However, laws should limit the sale to sane people, non-criminals. Assault weapons and military weapons should not be available.
9. The Democrats believe in “Government of the people, By the people, For the people” (Abraham Lincoln).

Hello Latifa! I think it is wonderful of you to offer students a real look at Morocco. I worry that our country's education is so far behind, and anything we can do to bring that about is so very important. What a treat it must be to talk about your country...I am afraid I know little about it myself, but after meeting you I would love to know more. Perhaps you can send me the names of the books so I may look for them...I know the library has books on every country, but I would like to ensure that the books here are updated as well. My family hails from Germany and Ireland, so my children and I have started to learn more about where our family came from before coming to the United States. Family heritage is so important, but it is something that is being forgotten as the generations grow...I hope to keep it alive in our family as it is a great part of who we are, and something that each family should continue to pass along to their children.

Our conference call was moved to Tuesday as I did not hear back from Micaela in time to make it Sunday. She is in the process moving from Arizona to Ohio, so email access has been limited. I posted some notes on the call and also the groups on our Maximize page.

In regards to adding a picture I believe that under the generic picture above you should have a link to change the theme of your page, and if you go into that section there is a place for you to add a picture. Then of course it is just a matter of uploading to the site. If that does not work then try contacting one of our members, Jaime Peters...she knows a great deal about how this network itself works and there may be a trick I do not know. I placed my photo on the page when I was choosing the color background and theme, so I know you can do it there.

It has been very nice speaking with you. I look forward to speaking with you in person again on Tuesday.

Take care and have a great day!

Stacy

Hi Stacy
No problem and thank you for moving my comments to Micaela
Thank your for your compliments as well
I have some books about Morocco that I need to donate to some schools so they can have a better idea about my country. When I came in 94 most of the people that I met thought that Morocco is mainly desert area with camels and tents. Some asked if we have electricity
I checked some schools’ library and found out that that they have out of date text book about Morocco. That is the main reason for me to do volunteer wok, go schools give presentation about my country and also donate books

I am looking forward to the conf call on Sunday.
Have a great day
Latifa
NB: can you advise on how to get my picture on the site, I tried but it didn’t work

Hello Latifa! Thank you for your response to Project #2 for the Maximized group. I wanted to let you know that I moved your response onto Micaela's page, so that all information for that project is under her discussion page. In a few days we will be holding another call where we will assign everyone in the group to a particular assignment. The call will be Sunday, we just do not have a time set as of yet.

Your comments for the project were very helpful. I look forward to working with you further in the mentorship program.

On a personal note...I was reading your profile and I wanted to tell you how wonderful I think the work you are doing is. It is so nice to see someone who will take the time to increase the education of our students and awareness of other countries and cultures...as an American we appear to spend so little time learning about other countries when other countries know so much about us. Oh that our students were as educated as other children from around the world. Bravo for the things you are doing. I would love to hear more sometime including what brought you to the White House Project.

I hope that I did not offend you by moving your response...I apologize for not speaking with you first...it is one of those things I did to keep everything organized without putting some real thought about what it was that I was doing.

Thank you again for your response. I look forward to speaking with you on Sunday.
