The budget was not rebalanced, the earmarks were not removed and lobbyists could still buy their way out of or on to a bill.

    Woman’s suffragist and anti-slavery activist, Sojourner Truth, in her iconic speech, Ain’t I A Woman, testifies that the black woman and white woman have one common enemy that thwarts their movement of achieving equality: men.
