Senator Claire McCaskill speaks on Mother and First Lady Michele Obama

As a mom who raised her kids while serving in office, I know how hard it can be to juggle all the demands of work with getting the kids ready for school and making it home in time for family dinner.

That's why I'm so thankful for the strong female role models in my life who showed me that it was possible to have a demanding career and a family.

For women today, I can't think of a better example than First Lady Michelle Obama who shows that it is possible to make a real difference in the lives of millions of Americans -- while still remaining 100-percent committed to your family.

You and thousands of others have added your name to this Mother's Day card for the First Lady. There's still time to share it with your friends and family so they can add theirs.

The First Lady does incredible work with veterans and their families -- and she's also leading the charge against childhood obesity with the Let's Move! campaign. But she also makes time to sit down with her family for dinner every night, go to Sasha and Malia's recitals and basketball games, and be there for her husband.

She's a true inspiration to millions of women across this nation -- and I'd love it if you'd join me in telling her that.

Invite your friends and family to add their names to this Mother's Day card for the First Lady, and we'll make sure she gets all of our messages of support:
