Everyone had good proposal but I got to admit there were some that catch most my attention. Here are my top 10 blogs.
10- Arshad- http://arshad-ah11a.blogspot.com/ - I liked his proposal becuase he is trying to defend his culture and try to make sense of the issues and racism many Muslims go trough.
9- Carlos- http://qeehai.blogspot.com/ I like his proposal because he has a beneficial plan that grants monthly every veteran and if the veteral has a disabilities grant them a raise.
8- Andy- http://andres06-andy.blogspot.com/- I like his blog because it was well written and I agree with what he says that Catholics were only just trying to help instead of fight
7- Hector P. - http://sayhellogoodbyeoutloud.blogspot.com/ - I like his blog because It went straight to what he wanted to talk about but I have a different opinion; I think the age for the right to vote should be left at 18 because I believe at 16 we are still too young to make such an importanta decision, yes we are matured but we have more to learn.
6- Nelsharry- http://sharryknowsit.blogspot.com/ - I like the way she thinks about everyone and I like here quote '' ...schools they should encourage them to unite"
5- Jan Paul- http://jpah11.blogspot.com/ - It's a good idea where he mentions "Veterans wolud be given a bonus depending on the years they served"
4- Alysha - http://www.alyidel.blogspot.com/ - She makes a good point where she mentions that everyone is born free & equalAndy
3- Albert M.- http://www.jujomonkey.blogspot.com/ - I like when he mentios "not to change the way of thinking not of those who's mind have already been filled, but to those whose minds are just starting to see". It's a very true and strong quote.
2- Stephanie- http://www.tefiruiz01.blogspot.com/ -I agree with her, not only because we are fighting for the same right, but because she makes a good point when she mentions that all women, depending their circumstances, have the right to justice.
and...
1- Paulette- http://www.imagineaheartshapedbox.blogspot.com/ - She has such an ability to write. I agree 100% with her when she proposes that every senior citizen over the age of 70 shouldn't drive without a passenger over the age of 21. It's true when she says that a senior citizen with disabilities may cause an accident.

Proposal
After all their hard work, after all their fighting, protesting it was all worth it in the end. Women had fought their way into freedom and equality against men in this world for a long time. It was about time that we, women, had our fairness.
Differente types of law have being pass for women. There is the law that gives us the right to vote, the law that protects us against any danger or abuse of any type and the most known the custody law.
When a women gets a divorce from her husband and they have a child the situation gets complicated. The child's future depends on whom his custody he's granted. Most of the time the mother gets the custody but there are cases in which the father is best suited for the role.
Another law is Law #54, which is the law that protects women against any type of abuse; that includes physical and emotional. If any women in abused, she has the right to take the abuser to court and put him/her in jail. There are some cases in which this law does not apply to some women.
Abuse against women is rising in numbers as time goes on, this law is very important and I believe it should count for every women, I propose that the government should include all women, economic stable or not. I believe it's not fair that if a women is abuse and just because she doesn't apply for the law there is nothing she can do about it. Women are women, we are all equal...she should all count.

Change Is Good
As a start of change, women all around the world have started developing organizations and groups between each to create support among themselves. Like mostly is known, women haven't always been treated nicely and fairly. We've been considered minor, another one of the group...less than. For years, women have been trying to change that statement ''that women can't be considered equal as men.''
One of the most important and historical change was when women in the past achieved the right to vote and it was then created the 19th Amendment which is " the right to vote for women ''.
The Femenist Majority Foundation is one of the largests groups in the US whose mission is to create new strategies for women's equality. It's principles are based on treating everyone equal, meaning men,women,boys & girls. They support not only women but they also care about gay's freedom and rights. So this organization is a very supportive group which has their arms open for everyone.
One of the major steps that the FMF has taken is supporting abortion. They chose to support it because even though abortion is something hard and sinful to do but they do understand that there are consequences in which abortion has to be the only right choice. Another support the FMF provides is the use of Birth Control. In the past women were prohibited to use birth controls but as time passed things obviously changed.
As well as other changes, the FMF supports anti violence for women, education for women, supports the research for the cure for Cancer and other issues women face.

Women's Liberty
Women, we' re not violent....well at least most of us aren't. When we want a change, or fix some sort of issue we just try to comunicate peacefully.
When women started to fight for their freedom, they used some of the same methods men and other groups did as sel-defense. Women mostly gathered in a nearby location as just stayed there and protest and spoke what they had to say without taking a NO from anyone. Others as well formed organizations, like for example the National Organization for Women (NOW). But when it was too much the women did strike back and faught !

I read that women used to chain themselves as form of protest, sometimes they would even be as violent as men. Most importantly women never let each one down, they always stuck together and fought until they last drop of blood for their freedom....our freedom !

What Can I do? Plenty, Sister !
'' So long as the women are not free, the people are not free! '' If men can be free, why can't women? We both live in the same planet, why can't we share it the same way...we are equal!
During the 1800's women started to rebel and protesting for what was right and fair. Women protested for their right to vote, right to work, right to speak up, etc. It was not easy for them but they fought until their last breath until finally acquiring their freedom and equality. Nowadays, still women are not completely treated equally but we've come a long way.
In 1869, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mot started The National Woman Suffrage Association after traveling to London for a World Anti-Slavery Convection. Both women were mad because they were denied the right to speak. The NWSA were against the 14th & 15th amendments because they left out women. Also it did promote easier divorce and end to discrimination.
In 1890, the American Women Suffrage Association (AWSA) joined the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) and it became the National American Women Suffrage Association (NAWSA) led by Cady.
The NAWSA went through the entire US campaigning for women's right to vote. The NAWSA were successful. Colorado was the first state to gain the right to vote for women. Many states followed as well. In the end, in 1920 the 19th Amendment was passed. It granted the right to vote for women all over US.
Until this day, women have been treated equally thanks to those women who in the past had the courage to stand up and take a stand. Though there are still some places that discriminate women, so far it's been fair. I admire women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
