The article that I read was "Women, Latinos: Record Numbers In Congress" by Jake Miller. I am Hispanic, so seeing the title of the article I became interested in what the author had to say and report about. The author has so much to say about the fact that women and Latino Americans both are said to be at their record numbers on Capitol Hill. This is such a huge change, which involves way more diversity within Congress. Miller brings into question, that if more women participating and playing a part in Congress, whether the agenda will be more devoted towards families. Miller even quotes a person saying, "more women in Congress means an agenda that's better for American families." This change in Congress, the author acknowledges and see's as a positive change of the "cross-section of the American public." Although their still is way more to come about and their still has to be way more change in Congress, this is a step towards the right direction. I agree, that Congress should be equal and made up of all kinds of people of different races and such. In many years to come I see the continuation of change and a greater change coming about for Congress to be made up of all people. I believe that since the Congress is
for the people, that it should be made up of all kinds of people
which will be able to represent their people. Being that more woman
are involved in Congress, I do believe that the agenda will be
leaning more towards families and making sure everything is going
smooth. I feel confident that woman will stay strong about issues
regarding the family structure and will not pay much attention to
smaller almost irrelevant issues. Having diversity is good because
many people get their viewpoint across and many people are able to
voice their opinion. Having a change is Congress is great, and
although Congress still has a long way to go this is still tremendous
and most definitely going in the right direction.
Hi Veronica, I just have to say is that I as a male Hispanic find your thought in your editorial about how diversity in Congress agreeable. I for one believe that the best way to benefit the view points of the people towards our government. Like you said the Congress is for the people. Meaning more than just white males should be in congress. This huge change is a great improvement! I believe that we should be more diverse. It will help the nation because we will have a government that will think outside the box and in many viewpoints not just one. And that women being in congress will not only just try to strengthen American families but also provide leverage in our government. In my thoughts strong American families means a strong American government. This nation I believe is in dire need of leverage. Whether it’s due having more women and congress. Or that we have a more diverse race in congress that would obviously help the people because like you said, “Congress should be made up of all kinds of people which will be able to represent their people”. That is what caught my eye the most because so true. What is the best way to improve a government other than provide it with the people. Ones who have lived in the same conditions. Who know the hardships that we the people are facing. I believe that if you have experienced it or lived it your opinion is much great than that of one who hasn’t and only lives his or her life on what the facts and statistics state. I agree with you that this such change is help us as a nation head towards the right direction.
