Former U.S. Attorney, and current Rhode Island Senator, Sheldon Whitehouse has targeted the Bush White House for what he deems unlawful hiring schemes at the Department of Justice. After an extensive investigation into the matter, Senator Whitehouse has uncovered a systematic effort to hire applicants based on political leanings. Such practices violate the hiring rules for civil service positions.

The Women’s Caucus of the RI Democratic Party is seeking new and active members. The RIDWC seeks to organize, recruit, prepare and support women who wish to become politically involved in running for office and/or raising awareness of women’s issues such as pay equity, domestic violence and education.

We are hoping to recruit activists: women who want to have a direct impact on the political discussion in Rhode Island and bring women’s issues to the forefront.

Yearly membership is $20.00.
