Corrin Rankin knows that being a black Republican can be hard. Rankin, founder and president of Legacy Republicans Alliance (LRA), which aims to expand the GOP’s black membership, can sympathize with her friend, actor Isaiah Washington’s dilemma. In 2008, Rankin voted for President Barack Obama, but shortly afterwards, she began re-evaluating certain Democratic policies, especially with regard to how they affected black Americans ([link removed]) .

Women so often hear that bigger government is going to solve all of their problems. From Elizabeth Warren to Bernie Sanders touting government-paid-for child care and paid leave, and new regulations in the name of equality, the Left is constantly selling their agenda as necessary for women to thrive. However, big-government mandates don’t help women thrive. They backfire, leading to less opportunity, choice, flexibility, and freedom.

Contact your senators today—and urge them to fix this and pass a real VAWA.

------------------------------------------------------------
New York Rep. Elise Stefanik emerged as something rare on Wednesday: an incisive questioner who eschewed grandstanding and pursued answers instead. For her trouble, she received several nasty tweets, including one from ABC News’ Chief Political Analyst Matthew Dowd: "Elise Stefanik is a perfect example of why just electing someone because they are a woman or a millennial doesn’t necessarily get you the leaders we need."
