They heard you. Or at least, Jeff Flake noticed and heard your voices.

“I am a conservative. I would like to see Judge Kavanaugh confirmed. And I hope to be able to do that,” Flake said after leaving the meeting with McConnell. “But I want a better process … involving the FBI, reopening the background investigation, which is what so many of my colleagues and people across the country have been asking for.” - Jeff Flake per Politico

Every one of you who called, protested, E-mailed, wrote letters, or did any of the other forms of speaking out to power, you were heard.

Keep the pressure on! It has some positive effect.

1. Hell Hath No Fury Like Women the GOP Scorned

"Every woman I have contact with in any way, at my home, on the phone, on social or mass media, had a visceral reaction to the Republicans’ misogyny-fest on Capitol Hill this past week, also known as the judicial confirmation process. Tears, fears, rage, and physical reactions are the norm, not the exception.

I’m not about to write about the details of Senate spectacle of a bunch of old men sending a message that women don’t matter. It just makes me incoherently angry. Besides, I’m not so sure words from me are what’s needed right now.
I do believe a line has been crossed. We have an obligation to make this upcoming election a statement. It is already the year of the woman in terms of candidates for elected office. Now we all need to make sure it’s the year that women’s voices driving voter turnout.

I hope I’m right. There are more than two dozen events in this week’s Activist Calendar for your consideration. If you haven’t already volunteered for a campaign or get out the vote effort, now is the time to make a commitment."
