We Have So Much at Stake This Time - Vote!

Why your vote counts.

Because elections today frequently are won by tiny margins, the mobilization of women – has the potential to change the political landscape in many states and perhaps the country as a whole.

Only 64% of the eligible voters in the United States voted in 2004. Worse yet, only 47% of 18-24 year olds voted—as compared to 71% of seniors 65 years and older.

No wonder Social Security is the third rail of politics while women’s issues like reproductive rights, peace, affirmative action, and the environment take a back seat. Women have enormous rights at stake in this election. Yet, we are the least registered and least voting population in the country. It’s time for women to make their voices heard...VOTE!

Your vote counts! Get to the polls and make the difference on November 4th!
