Women's History Month

Floor Speech

Date: March 5, 2014
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Women Arts, Entertainment, and History

Mrs. BEATTY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of March being Women's History Month. I rise today to say thank you for all the services for the women in the Third Congressional District and to the 102 women who serve in the 113th Congress in the House and the Senate.

I rise because we know when women succeed, America succeeds. I ask you to join me in making 2014 a year of action by having equal pay for equal work, providing affordable child care and access to health care.

This afternoon, I am honored to join Swin Cash, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, as we initiate the Let's Move! initiative in honor of the First Lady's Let's Move! So to America, I say let's do this thing in honor of women.
