<p style="text-align: justify;">First Lady Michelle Obama visited the Department of Labor on Monday. Joined by Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, FLOTUS proposed an expansion to the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) for military family caregivers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The proposed expansion would give more job protection to families that care for military service men and women. FMLA would be expanded for up to 12 weeks for families to help a service member who has been deployed on short notice and up to 26 weeks for those caring for the injured or sick. Rest and recuperation leave would be extended to 15 days. Family members of veterans leave would be extended by up to 5 years.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The current law only covers caregivers of active members of the military but the proposed new laws would include family members of veterans for up to 5 years.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Here at MOW we are all about showcasing the fabulous fashion sense of First Lady Michelle Obama. She is definitely the most fashion forward First Lady this country has seen in a long time. But did you know that before Mrs Obama became First Lady &nbsp;Black women had no sense of style? Of course I&rsquo;m being factious, but sadly <a href="http://www.elle.fr/Mode/Dossiers-mode/Tendance-black-fashion-power-1871996/Un-style-loin-du-streetwear-1872012/%28affichage%29/avis/%28listing%29/all#zoneCommentairesNew" target="_blank">Elle France </a>writer Nathalie Dolivo was dead serious.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In a blog post, titled &lsquo;Black Fashion Power&rsquo; the writer stated that for Black women<strong> </strong>fashion is a<em> &ldquo;</em><em>political weapon&rdquo; and that Black women have &ldquo;returned to style as a source of dignity.&rdquo; Dolivo goes on to say, </em>"For the first time, the chic has become a plausible option for a community so far pegged [only] to its street wear codes."</p>

While MOW is a repository we are not run by the East Wing.&nbsp; However, I do occasionally receive emails from readers addressed to Mrs Obama. After receiving these letters I&rsquo;ve decided to start a new feature here at MOW titled, Letters to the FLOTUS.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As we gird up for the 2012 Presidential Campaign season this is a way for readers to share their thoughts and feelings about the First Lady&rsquo;s initiatives, appearances and of course the media&rsquo;s coverage of the First Lady. You never know who may be reading.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.michelleobamawatch.com/contact/" target="_blank">To submit a letter click here and make sure to put &ldquo;Letters to FLOTUS&rdquo; in the subject line.</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To kickoff the feature I&rsquo;ve decided to share a letter from a MOW reader in Nassau County Florida.
