RNC Celebrates Women's History Month
March 30, 2009n celebration of Women's History Month, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele released the following statement today: "From Seneca Falls in 1848 to Afghanistan a few years ago, the struggle for women's suffrage is a long one. The Republican Party stands for liberty everywhere and has been a critical force in both establishing and protecting women's rights in the United States," Chairman Steele said. "The Republican National Committee honors women such as Margaret Chase Smith, who was the first woman elected to both the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. We admire the strength of women such as Clara Cressingham, Carrie Holly, and Frances Klock of Colorado who were the first women to serve in any state legislature. And we look up to women such as Representative Kay Granger, who led a delegation to help train and prepare Iraqi women candidates for their first exercise in democracy." Full release.
