Clark & Dean still haven't signed on to the Womens Issues Forum 11/5 |

Might be a good idea for Clark. His recent poll figures are showing significantly more support from men than from women. Another recent poll shows significantly more support from women than from men for the Democratic candidate. Women could make the difference once again in 2004. PLEASE DON'T TAKE THEM FOR GRANTED! And there's a huge assault on choice going on by the Bush Administration and his holy roller cronies - and without even protection for a woman's health or life. Choice was a huge issue for women voting for Gore instead of Bush in 2000.
From Planned Parenthood:
Thanks to the hundreds of Planned Parenthood activists who recently called the presidential campaigns asking them to participate in our November 5 Women's Issues Forum. The response was, to quote one campaign office, "Impressive!" and we are pleased to announce that Senator John Edwards, Senator John Kerry and Ambassador Carol Moseley Braun have accepted our invitation. Senator Joe Lieberman and Reverend Al Sharpton have declined. Please continue to call the campaigns of the four other candidates (see below) and ask them to participate in the Planned Parenthood-sponsored Forum on Women's Issues in Manchester, NH, on November 5, 2003. Together, we can make this a success.
General Wesley Clark: 501-537-2004
Governor Howard Dean: 802-651-3200
Representative Dick Gephardt: 202-448-9300
Representative Dennis Kucinich: 866-413-3664

1. I'm sure both Dean and Clark will participate |
|
Man, I would HATE to be the scheduler for these guys! Talk about a tough job.

2. I think they've known about this for a while |
|
I like that they both bring up the choice issue, but I don't want our support taken for granted.

But you have to appreciate the problems all of the candidates face with scheduling, it's good for your organization to put the pressure on. It will probably finalize the event with all but Lieberman and Sharpton involved.

MY POINT is women's issues have taken a backseat in all campaigns, and this is a big mistake. No scheduling excuses accepted.
