Susan B. Anthony once said: ``There will never be complete equality until women themselves help to make laws and elect lawmakers''--and serve as lawmakers and actually serve in the chair. One hundred years ago, Congress moved one step closer to equality by passing a constitutional Amendment granting women the right to vote. This week, we celebrate the 19th Amendment. To honor the courageous women who ushered us toward a more perfect Union, we wear yellow roses. I have two daughters. I have seven granddaughters. I am thankful that they can shape their government because of the generations of women who came before them. ____________________
