Stirring the pot a little here--------copy of Emily's List e-mail. Emily's hasn't gotten the message that we have a real woman running for VP on the Republican ticket. I signed up for their e-mails thought I may as well know what they are touting. Notice the reference to 'progressive' another word for the socialist worker's party.
"Are you ready to unleash the power of women to rebuild a progressive America?
For eight long years, the Republicans have stood in the way of progress. Now it's time for us to stand together to defeat them. Make no mistake: Democrats made clear at this week's Convention that we're united in our determination to beat John McCain and elect Barack Obama and Joe Biden -- and the best way to do that is to turn out the women voters critical to electing Democrats up and down the ballot, including our 33 outstanding EMILY's List candidates.
EMILY's List is hours away from the August fundraising goal that will allow us to stay on track to fully fund one of our biggest WOMEN VOTE! programs yet, turning out nearly 6.5 million women voters -- with a special focus on young, first-time voters -- for Democrats up and down the ticket. With only 67 days left until November 4, it's essential that we meet our goals to mobilize voters.

When President Obama is sworn in next January, he will work with other progressive Democrats to rebuild our economy and restore America's standing in the world. But we've seen how far obstructionist Republicans will go to block change, using the filibuster time and again to thwart progress.
Think what we could achieve without the GOP's delay tactics: universal health care, pay equity, meaningful investments in a green economy. But to end Republican gridlock and help President Obama reclaim our country, Democrats must build filibuster-proof majorities in Congress. Through EMILY's List, you and I have the knowledge, the strategy, and the tools it takes to make that happen -- by unleashing the power of women candidates and women voters.

Ellen R. Malcolm President
