MaryJane Selgrade: Stop name-calling, listen

Recently, State Sen. Joyce Krawiec and insurance commissioner Mike Causey tweeted insulting remarks about the women who marched on Jan. 21, saying effectively that they were stupid and fat. After receiving a lot of heat both have apologized, but I think more is needed.

Both need to sit down with these women and listen to their concerns. What this country needs is constructive dialog, not name-calling.
