I want to
because:

Women outnumber, outvote, and outlive men.
I want to better understand how legislation impacts me and my family.
I can trust the information I read in Engage publications.
I love my country and am tired of partisan fighting.
I do not think anyone understands how tough it is for me to survive financially.
I am worried about the future for my children.
Sometimes I agree with the Democrats and sometimes I agree with the Republicans.
