Election Day


Vote on November 4th

Today, make sure all your friends, family, and neighbors know how important this is by sharing this graphic on Facebook, on Twitter, or by forwarding this email.

The issues at stake tomorrow are very, very real. Compared to their male counterparts, women in the United States:

  • Are typically paid less
  • Are more likely to work in minimum wage and low-wage jobs
  • Have fewer opportunities to advance in their careers
  • Are more likely to go without the health care they need
  • Are more likely to be primary caregivers for children but often lack the affordable and high-quality child care they need to work and support their families?
  • Are more likely to live in poverty.

There’s one way to make a difference. VOTE.

Because when women vote, leaders listen.

Sincerely,
Emily J. Martin
Vice President and General Counsel
National Women’s Law Center

a message from Kathleen Turner … Why we need Wendy Davis


Most people know me as an actress, but I’ve worked with Planned Parenthood since I was 19 to make sure all American women have access to the contraceptive care they need. And when Wendy Davis launched her filibuster in support of women’s health, I knew she was the woman needed as the next governor of Texas.

When she took the floor for her filibuster, Wendy knew what was at stake. She knew the old boys network in Austin was trying to restrict women’s access to the health care they need, and she wasn’t going to let it happen without a fight.

Wendy’s a fighter, but with only a few weeks until the election, she needs our help to stay strong. Can you contribute $5 to her campaign?

Texas has come to a fork in the road. One path will lead to more of the same — more insider politics, more cronyism in the state capital, more of the policies that have left too many Texas families working harder than ever just to tread water.

The other path — Wendy’s path — leads to a Texas in which everyone can succeed. Wendy knows firsthand how difficult it can be to pull yourself up, and she’s committed to making sure every hardworking Texan has the same opportunities she’s had.

But she can’t do it alone. Wendy’s opponent has all the special interests in his corner — she needs us in hers. Give $5, $10, or more if you can, and help make Wendy Davis the next governor of Texas.

Thanks for supporting Wendy.

Sincerely,

Kathleen Turner

a message from Rachel Maddow … a repost

1 Comment

Rachel Maddow just did a harrowing exposé on North Carolina Tea Partier Thom Tillis — whose race will be “the tipping point for the Senate battle,” according to Nate Silver.

Maddow reports that Tillis is the worst of the worst: “Tillis has helped cut off access to medical care for struggling families; he opposes gay rights; he’s helped impose ridiculous new voting restrictions; and he’s curtailed reproductive rights while expanding opportunities to carry loaded guns in bars.”

The scariest part? North Carolina is the GOP’s #1 target: the Kochs have spent more there than in every other race COMBINED, pulling Tillis into a 41-41 tie with Democrat Kay Hagan.

To stop Tillis and other extreme Republicans from winning and costing us the whole Senate, we must neutralize their air assault with our $60 million, 4,000 staff powered Grassroots Victory Project — our “largest and most data-driven ground game yet,” according to the New York Times.
