On the ground

A bipartisan group of women from all over the Capital Region will gather at the Capitol Steps in an effort to bring attention to issues of importance to us during this presidential campaign and show our support for Presidential cand idate Barack Obama.

We proudly support Senator Barack Obama as our next President because he is the best
candidate to bring about change to Washington and throughout the world. He will fight to
establish a healthcare system that is inclusive of all Americans; will continue to support Roe v. Wade ensuring the privacy and safety of all women; and will support an agenda that will
strengthen current domestic violence laws. In addition, Senator Obama strongly supports equal pay legislation and he is dedicated to helping the middle class get ahead by supporting tax-cuts that directly benefit them.

WOMEN WILL NOT BE FOOLED. SENATOR OBAMA IS THE ONLY CANDIDATE WHO WILL TRULY SUPPORT WOMENS ISSUES BUT FIRST WE MUST SHOW OUR SUPPORT FOR HIM!

JOIN US as we gather and discuss some of the issues of great importance to American women and show our support for the Obama-Biden ticket.
