affordable housing
unnecessary military expenditures
the no. of civilian deaths that her country is responsible for in other countries
the growing gap between rich and poor with wealth getting more and more concentrated in the top 3% of the nation's well to do.
She would question the number of houses anyone person can own and she would suggest that since they are so affluent perhaps they could give up one of those for a social housing project.
She would talk about the long history of women in patriarchy How they became property.
How women died from backroom abortions before some qualified doctors stepped in to help because as medical professionals they could no longer just witness the suffering.
She would insist that energy be focused on ProLife ,meaning : support the lives of all babies and children already born who need help and nurturing to survive.
She might even mention the rapes of women all over this nation,and even in the military.

I live in the Phoenix area near the Phoenix Indian Medical Center so it is not a long trip to the hospital. However, services are lacking but not as a lacking as described in this article. I have said over and over again...Sarah Palin is no Hillary Clinton. Palin is a big joke, a cruel witch of the north...pay for a rape kit??? She cannot be our next VP!

Just like to be American is to be from the country of Unites States of America. Please don't confuse Indians with Native Americans or Native Alaskans. “The rate of rape and sexual assault among Indian women is 3.5 times higher than among women of any other racial group in America.

They can't visit the hospitals the the rest of us do. The folks in Juneau have to go to ONE clinic and if they require any sort of hospitalization, they have to travel to Sitka, which is an expensive boat ride that they can't afford to pay for usually.
