Supreme Court Poem
By Paul Felton
My feelings are still very raw
About the Judge Brett Kavanaugh
I must say that to me it seems
He’s not fit to join the Supremes
It’s clear to me he was at fault
In charges of sexual assault
And in the hearing room he lied
For perjury he should be tried
On other matters great and small
His views are quite Neanderthal
In any case it’s a sad day
For women, and the USA.
(Paul Felton is a Gray Panthers poet laureat.)
Mary Pollock, an experienced activist who monitors legislation as a Government Relations Coordinator for the American Association of University Women, will bring inside information about what's going on in Lansing. Specific topics include legislation to promote pay equity for women, updates on the campaign to raise Michigan's minimum wage and bills that seek to undermine women's reproductive rights in our state.
