Today, in a speech on the House floor, I will be discussing Republican attempts to limit the role of women in our armed forces. For those of you that have not yet heard, the Republican majority has included in the Defense Authorization Bill a provision that would severely limit the role of women in our military. It is a thinly veiled misogynistic attempt to strip women on the progress they've made all these many years.

If you can make it, I encourage you to tune into C-SPAN today at around 10:00am ET to watch my speech and the debate. You can then come back here and comment.

I'll be certain to have someone from my staff post the text of my remarks and then a link to the video in the comments.
