Seeking the Women's Vote
Saturday, November 01 @ 00:00:00 CDT by admin (401 reads) |  I have always been an advocate of the individual's right to vote and
what should be their "voice" in government (very lacking in recent
times), and particularly Women's Rights. The latter has been a hot
topic of conversation over the past few years and has been volleyed
around from candidate to candidate in the current Presidential election.
Both the Republican and Democratic candidates have put great effort
into gaining the women's vote. They speak of women's rights as if those
rights are a negotiable part of the issues. They shouldn't be. Women
are not aliens from another planet. We are not some rare form of animal
species. We should share equal rights with men. However, we don't.
Great strides have been made this year with a woman vying for the
presidency (Clinton) and with a candidate choosing a woman (Palin) as
his running mate. But that does not make up for women trying to survive
on unequal pay, unfair consideration for jobs and promotions and the
chauvinistic attitude towards women's health issues. What we need is a
modern day Abigail Adams to speak out for women and life in general.

The Message of the Day is to Vote!
Monday, October 27 @ 00:00:00 CDT by admin (263 reads) | | Since the inception of Femme Erotique, I have gone out of my way to ride the center of the political fence, not expressing one choice over the other, with the intent of NOT intimidating or influencing our readers. However, I cannot say it enough -- each and every one of us must be sure to go out and vote for the candidate of our choice!
As women, we have worked extremely hard to obtain and keep our right to vote. The "Founding Mothers" wanted to be sure that the right to vote extended to ALL United States citizens. Unfortunately, the "Founding Fathers" left that part out and it took decades before women who were natural born citizens could exercise their natural born right.
The 2008 election process has been hotly contested with claims and pain on both sides of the fence. Every United States citizen has the right to their own opinion regarding the election and the election process. Be proud that you are a United States citizen and exercise your right -- Vote on November 4th for the candidate of your choice.

Identity Theft -- Can You Protect Yourself
Thursday, May 25 @ 10:17:09 CDT by staff (345 reads) | Identity Theft is a major concern for everyone. In light of the recent
problem at the Veterans Administration, this is definitely a major
concern. There are some ways you
can protect yourself. The following is some advice submitted
anonymously by an attorney who wants to share this knowledge with
everyone. Readers may want to print out a copy for reference.
A corporate attorney sent the following out to the employees in his company.
1. The next time you order checks have only your initials (instead of
first name) and last name put on them. If someone takes your checkbook,
they will not know if you sign your checks with just your initials or
your first name, but your bank will know how you sign your checks.

Editorials: Hurricane Katrina Scams -- Be Vewy Afwaid
Friday, September 09 @ 00:00:00 CDT by staff (754 reads) | As a general rule, the majority of humankind are thoughtful, generous
and caring. All it takes is a natural disaster of some kind and the
good samaritans of the world rush forward to volunteer their time,
goods and services and monies. Most of this aid comes in the form of
money and most people funnel their contributions through legitimate
charities.
However, there are a few who see it as a golden opportunity to take
advantage of the unsuspecting. The unscrupulous scam artists weave
intricate webs to obtain their ill gotten gains from innocent
bystanders. Before you contribute any monies, you need to be aware of
these so-called entrepreneurs and their tactics. According to ScamBusters.org, the most common are Phishing scams, viruses and trojans, chain letters and fee-based spams.
