From an '07 South Florida Sun-Sentinel story:Debbie Wasserman-Schultz of Florida, mom to young daughters and herself a former Scout, makes time for a VIP group of South Floridians - the Girl Scouts of Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties.
Wasserman-Schultz joined a half day empowerment event, "designed to teach girls about self-defense, healthy eating habits, and their power to change their communities."
As part of the program, which also included sit-ups and push-ups with former Olympian Dominique Dawes and sessions on inner beauty and personal safety, the Congresswoman led a session on standing up for your beliefs. She inspired at least one young scout to action:
"I'm going to start a petition to raise awareness in my school... about animal rights," 13-year-old Plantation resident [Hannah Gifford] said after hearing U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Weston, speak about the importance of advocacy."
