Few things are certain but some are inevitable.
When American women obtained the right to vote in 1920, they changed the political arena forever. At the dawn of the new millennium, women have attained positions of leadership and power that many thought impossible a century ago. The ultimate party of the millennium will be an occasion for joy, a celebration of true balance in democracy and an affirmation of the contributions of all our citizens. Strengthened by women's achievements in the last century, let us embrace the future and look forward to the day when the last barrier of gender inequality is overcome. Let us tap into the national resources of women's strength and determination, and encourage them to run for political office at all levels, including the presidency.
