<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Bill Purpose: The purpose of this bill is to change the military rules for women. This will give women a better chance to go into a combat zone and the front line. Most women that train for a position and pass the final exam aren't usually allowed to fight in battles. This bill will give women more opportunities to be picked to go to the front lines and that will make it more fair to both male and female.

I chose this bill because I think that it is not fair that women are not allowed on the front lines but men are.So you should vote for my bill so that women are given these equal rights in the military. So they can join special forces teams and fight for America.
