Maria Lynam marches because...
In 2015 I did nothing in the political arena; I was asked, but declined because I was “too busy”. Ever since I have regretted that answer. My first political action in 2017 was to take part in the Women’s March. Now I “march”
every day because the current administration is destroying our society piece by
piece and making decisions without input from both parties or sexes. Women are not represented equally in the current administration’s
cabinet, nor are they nominated for judgeships. In addition, women are not
respected by the current president, who sets a poor moral example for our
children and grandchildren.
Women are
being denied their reproductive rights; impoverished children are without
medical insurance; LBGTQ have been denied serving in the military; immigrants
are no longer welcome and their families are being ripped apart; our
environment is being ravaged; our standing in the world community is tarnished
and ill-considered “tweets” have replaced thoughtful diplomacy.

During the
past fifteen months I have become a political activist, publish a weekly
newsletter and calendar for the greater progressive Prescott/Yavapai County
community and am on the Steering Committee of Prescott Indivisible. I do everything in my power to make women
understand that when we band together, we can make a change in both houses of Congress
in 2018; we can change the presidency in 2020.

We will make a difference by running for office, writing letters and postcards, going door-to-door to register voters and backing candidates who have integrity, common sense and the welfare of the nation as their primary commitment. We will register One Million Female Voters by next November and regain our society. We will indeed “Rock the Vote!”
