"If they're going to decide on women's reproductive issues, I'm not going to vote for any of them. Women's reproduction is our own business." -- Iowa voter, evangelical Christian, and former Mitt Romney supporter Mary Russell, quoted in the New York Times, March 10, 2012
Dear Lucas,
Women like Mary Russell are going to make the difference in 2012. They're not just going to reelect President Obama; they're going to help us take back the House and keep our firewall in the Senate.
But they'll only do it if we get them out to vote, and no one knows how to get women voters to the polls -- voting for Democrats -- better than the experts who run our WOMEN VOTE! program. No one else has the experience or the record of results that WOMEN VOTE! does. Look, we've done the polling, and the numbers are clear: the Republicans' attacks on women's health care are costing them votes. And there's no one I'd rather have leading women voters to the polls, all over the country, than EMILY's List WOMEN VOTE!
Click here to contribute to WOMEN VOTE! today so we can make sure women voters know which candidates are standing up for them. There's no better way to help amazing candidates like Claire McCaskill and Tammy Baldwin win their critical races in November!
Republicans aren't getting the message. They're pushing even more outrageous bills, like the one in Arizona that would require women to tell their boss that they need to be on the pill to treat a medical condition if they want it to be covered by their insurance. If they continue down this road, they're going to lose a lot of women supporters for a very long time.
But we can't be complacent! Republicans aren't going to do our job for us. They are giving us the ammunition we need to win, but all their attacks on women won't make a difference if women don't show up at the polls in November.
So let's fight, and let's win. Let's educate and mobilize women and make sure they vote for Democrats. Let's give our champions in the Senate the reinforcements they need -- and take back the House to give women the voice they deserve in Congress.
Our WOMEN VOTE! program is the best in the business at giving women voters the information they need, and making sure they get to the polls on Election Day. Click here now to give us the resources we need to win in November!
This is going to be an historic year for women. Republicans are digging a deep hole for themselves, and we need your help to take full advantage. Thanks for everything you're doing, and let's keep fighting!
Take care,
Stephanie Schriock
President
