Name: Emmelline Warner Position: Senator from Montana Position Desired: President of the United States
1. What would you do, if elected, to improve gender equality in the workplace? I would work to make sure that women are treated equally and I would create a Department of Equality, a cabinet level position to promote gender equality around the country, especially in the workplace.
2. What would you do to protect the reproductive rights of women? Also, what is your stance on abortion? In cases of rape and where women are treated badly I believe that women have the absolute right to choose whether they want a child with their child's father. Abortion is something to be decided by the parents alone.
3. What have you done to advance the cause of women in the US? I have worked to introduce equal rights for women in the workplace and have authored and advocated for equality legislation.

[/SIZE] Name: Lance Lillidge Position: US Senator, California Position Desired: President of the United States 1. What would you do, if elected, to improve gender equality in the workplace? I have introduced legislation in the United States Senate that requires employers to provide equal pay to women who have the same education, skill set and perform the same tasks as their male counterparts. I will continue to strive to promote equality in the workplace. I fully support anti-discrimination laws based on gender that are already in place and will push for a special section in the Department of Justice that focuses on the prosecution of companies that practice gender discrimination. 2. What would you do to protect the reproductive rights of women? Also, what is your stance on abortion? My political stance on abortion is that it should not be made illegal as some have pushed for. I believe that safe, sanitary conditions must be preserved for those wishing to exercise their right to have an abortion. My personal stance is that we should promote alternatives to abortion so that women have a choice. I don't believe that abortions should occur unless the mother has been the victim of rape or incest or if her life is in danger due to medical reasons. 3. What have you done to advance the cause of women in the US? As mentioned above, I have introduced legislation to promote pay equity for women in the United States. I was also an advocate to create a Women's Studies program in all California public universities and would like to see that iniative go nation-wide. Women have made significant contributions to society and they should be treated as equal in our society.[/quote]

Name: Phil Strunk Position: Senator Position Desired: President of the United States
1. What would you do, if elected, to improve gender equality in the workplace? I would install tougher laws against sexism. Women are very intelligent people and are equal in my eyes.
2. What would you do to protect the reproductive rights of women? Also, what is your stance on abortion? I would increase money in sex education, to prevent many early pregnancies. I am not a fan on abortion, however I believe it should be a state issue, so it really isn't my place to say.
3. What have you done to advance the cause of women in the US? I have numerous female advisers, as well as supported legislation to increase women's rights in the Senate.
