Time is our Most Precious Thing


How are you going to spend your time over the next 2 months?
 
  • Taking care of your family's health and home and well being.Cooking, Cleaning, Feeding, Washing, Driving.
  • Working at your job and not pissing anyone off.
  • Helping Pro-Choice candidates get elected.
Nancy Keenan, President of NARAL Pro-Choice Connecticut, was introduced at the first meeting of the Women's Caucus by a young woman who is the first Latina President of the College Democrats. Keenan looked over the crowd at the Women's Caucus and noted all the grey hair in the audience. Hey, she said, The Menopausal Militia!

She noted that these are the women who marched, argued, wrote, and worked for women's reproductive rights - not just for themselves but also for their daughters, nieces, granddaughters and all the women who come after us.

"In the next 63 days we need to Connect the Personal to the Political"
  • Reach out to neighbors -  Door to Door & Vote by Vote
  • Post on Twitter
  • Share on Facebook
  • You need to take them to the polls.

Women need to show up at the polls!

Cecile Richards is following this up with her own style (Texas, not Louisiana). As she travels throughout the US she keeps seeing signs that say

I can't believe I have to fight this shit
all over again
Cecile says: "But we will...But we Will."

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz to speak. It is amazing to see her in person, (this is the third time I have seen her in 1.5 days!) because she is soooooo tiny. She is also quite "fine" as some would say.

"Women are: The Backbone of the Economy.
The Backbone of the Family."
Talking about her breast cancer diagnosis and Obama doing healthcare reform so that she and her daughters, who carry the cancer gene, are able to get treatment as needed, and "being a woman is no longer a pre-existing condition."

2012 is Personal. This is Personal.
