My work at EMILY’s List means I get to travel. A lot. I have become a world class packer. I can remove my cowboy boots at the security line in under 5 seconds. That sign in the airport with the picture of the “expert traveler”? That’s me.

The elected members of the EMILY's List family hold powerful positions in their roles in the House and Senate, some directly working with Armed Services, the Intelligence Committee, and Homeland Security. Their leadership on these issues have gone a long way to help make America safer and care for our troops and veterans in the wake of 9/11. Here are some of their statements on the 10th anniversary of that horrible day.

No dirty tricks or smears here: an EMILY’s List program in Arizona has begun informing voters about the choices they face in the upcoming election. We’ve sent mail to targeted voters about Congs. Ann Kirkpatrick and Gabrielle Giffords. As POLITICO puts it: ”the mailers follow a tried-and-true EMILY's List method this cycle: They're not noisy or caustic, but they draw a bright line between Democrats and their challengers when it comes to policy.”

With just 27 short days until voters head to the polls, many of our candidates' races will be won on the ground -- some by a few hundred votes. Our women are hard at work reaching undecided voters, rallying their supporters, and ensuring that their message is being heard loud and clear.

Last week, I wrote about some of the radical and far-right Republican candidates in Arizona and Florida who are already on the attack and taking special interest money. Now it's time to highlight the dedicated and accomplished women whom we are supporting in these races -- Ann Kirkpatrick, Gabby Giffords, Alex Sink and Suzanne Kosmas.

Yesterday, we watched and waited as Republicans in Arizona and Florida cast their votes in competitive primary races. The outcome? A slew of ultra-conservative candidates ready to take on our pro-choice Democratic women in November. These Republican nominees are extremists fighting for policies that are harmful towards American women and families.

The GOP isn't wasting any time plotting for 2010 -- and top on their list of priorities is taking down freshman members of Congress in moderate or conservative-leaning districts, including women we've helped elect.
