House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and other EMILY's List alums like Rep. Carolyn Maloney, Rep. Jan Schakowsky, Rep. Kathy Hochul and Rep. Gwen Moore held a press conference today, in the midst of tense deficit reduction negotiations between both parties, to call attention to the risks cuts to entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare pose to women.

Cong. Debbie Wasserman Schultz: the vibrant leader we need

Right after reading an awesome profile of Cong. Debbie Wasserman Schultz in the New York Times, I got to see the real deal in person, right here in Portland, Oregon. The occasion? Cong. Earl Blumenauer’s annual power luncheon for women. It’s kind of like American Idol for women in politics

It was heartening to see some incredible women – including EMILY’s List alumnae – get their due in TIME’s 100 list for 2011. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was lauded, Planned Parenthood’s Cecile Richards was honored, and President Obama honored Cong. Gabrielle Giffords.

EMILY’s List women say it best: you seriously want to shut down the government over Planned Parenthood?

Faced with increasingly likelihood of a government shutdown, EMILY’s List women in Congress are doing what they do best – representing our interests by telling it like it is. Here’s what our advocates have to say about Republican brinksmanship over funding Planned Parenthood, which has nothing to do with fiscal responsibility and everything to do with an anti-woman agenda.

A moving tribute by Obama in Tucson – and a miraculous moment for Gabby

A moving tribute by Obama in Tucson – and a miraculous moment for Gabby

President Obama gave a poignant, powerful speech yesterday in Tucson at a memorial service for the victims of Saturday’s shooting, including Cong. Gabrielle Giffords. Our president’s words were that of a public servant honoring others who serve us; a man who shared in our grief at the senseless violence; and a father who wants a better country for his two young daughters.

Sorry folks – no pity party to see here. Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in a recent interview with Deborah Solomon of The New York Times, evaluates recent events with her typical frankness. After the midterm losses, Solomon asks Pelosi, why not just step down from leadership? “Well, don’t forget that I led the party into the strong victories of ’06 and ’08. And now we are prepared to win again.”

Let's talk about where you and I will find ourselves if we don't roll up our sleeves, get the vote out, and re-elect Democratic women to Congress: we'll be living in John Boehner's America. Make no mistake -- if Republicans succeed in their efforts, discouraging women voters and taking away the gavel from Nancy Pelosi, then we'll get Speaker Boehner.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi joined many of our women in the House at a press conference this week, speaking about the importance of job creation legislation and calling out Senate Republicans who are obstructing forward movement. While the Senate play politics with proposed bills, American families suffer at home -- and our women are set on changing that.

Speaker Pelosi had the perfect reaction today when a reporter asked her what she thought about a National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman suggesting that General McCrystal needs to "put her in her place" over her comments about the war in Afghanistan.

It wasn’t until I was standing in a crowd of protestors that I realized how destructive -- and organized -- their efforts are.
