Barbara Mikulski: “We want to protect the Constitution, we want to protect the people against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”

It will be a proud day for our country when every girl who visits the National Mall is able to see herself represented amongst the giants of our national story.

Your leadership in placing the Women's Suffrage National Monument on the National Mall will expand our Nation's understanding of American women's leadership.

As the longest serving woman in congressional history, I proudly stand on the shoulders of the suffragists who fought bravely and boldly for generations to secure women's political equality.

When constituents come to you, make sure you do not promise results but promise best efforts, that you'll give it your best.
