Veteran's Day: A time to honor those who serve

By Karyn Bruggeman on 11/11/2011 @ 07:30 AM

Tags: Women leaders, Patty Murray, Niki Tsongas, Kirsten Gillibrand, Claire McCaskill, Nita Lowey, Jackie Speier

Veteran's Day is a celebration to honor America's 23 million veterans for their patriotism and willigness to serve their country. As we celebrate this Veterans Day, we remember one of the best ways to honor our men and women in uniform is to help them when they come home. We’re grateful for the EMILY’s List elected officials who are leading the way.

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

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.

We’ve been keeping close watch on H.R. 3, the GOP-supported bill that would be harmful to women and their families by limiting their access to abortion and overall reproductive health care. Earlier this week, Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Richard Blumenthal wrote for the EMILY’s List blog about this restrictive legislation and how dangerous it is for American women.

Our West Coast Senators: protecting their shores

Our West Coast Senators: protecting their shores

By Dinah Douglas on 01/28/2011 @ 10:02 AM

Tags: Barbara Boxer, Patty Murray, Maria Cantwell, Dianne Feinstein, U.S. Senate

Earlier this week, our four West Coast senators did what they do best -- stand up for their home states. This powerful foursome consists of Senators Barbara Boxer (CA), and Patty Murray (WA), who both recently won re-election with the help of EMILY's List members as well as Maria Cantwell (WA), and Dianne Feinstein (CA), who are both up for re-election this cycle. Banded together with the two Democratic senators from Oregon, they're fighting offshore drilling on the Pacific Coast. They'll do to what it takes to protect the natural resources and jobs that are crucial to their constituents.

Lessons from WOMEN VOTE!

Lessons from WOMEN VOTE!

When reflecting on a tough year for Democrats and women, it’s helpful to examine some of the strategies that helped us protect the seats of advocates like Sen. Barbara Boxer and Sen. Patty Murray. One such tactic was EMILY's List's WOMEN VOTE! program. Looking at the numbers and impact of WOMEN VOTE!, we can take away some valuable lessons for our upcoming battles to reclaim the House and increase the number of woman elected officials.

Women: Still a deciding factor

Women: Still a deciding factor

This election cycle, we heard endless hype about the Republican “Mama Grizzlies” and supposed new faces of feminism. Even with all the hoopla surrounding the "Year of the Republican Woman," it comes down to this: the Democratic Party is still the party that cares about women and their families.

Sen. Patty Murray's opponent, now three-time loser Dino Rossi, conceded last night. Recognizing Patty's strong lead in the votes tally -- she was up by more than 46,000 votes at just 78% reporting -- Dino graciously congratulated the Senator on her spirited campaign.

What we do know is that the Chamber is an interest group advocating for corporate America. It's hard to say more because it does not disclose its donors.

The amount of support just blew me away: turnout was even better than we expected, and first-time phone bankers, fueled by homemade cookies and delicious pizza, were filled with excitement only matched by the warm reception of the voters we reached in Washington State. In call after call, individuals pledged to vote for Patty Murray or told us they had already cast their vote for the Senator.

In her opening statement during last night’s debate, Sen. Patty Murray of Washington state put it this way: "Families in our state are struggling. They've lost their jobs and their homes and their pensions, not because of anything they did, but because of the mismanagement and greed on Wall Street thousands of miles away from here. This state is my family. My family is hurting."

An important choice in Washington state

An important choice in Washington state

Tags: Patty Murray, WA-Sen, 2010 Elections, Opponents

Yesterday, the anti-choice group Susan B. Anthony List endorsed GOP Senate candidate Dino Rossi. Not a surprise, considering Rossi hasn’t made a habit of concealing his anti-choice, anti-woman views – but don’t think for a minute that this endorsement wasn’t conveniently timed to coincide with an event for Democratic Sen. Patty Murray that will feature Gov. Chris Gregoire and Planned Parenthood Action Fund President Cecile Richards.

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.

Karl Rove's shadowy right-wing groups American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS have already poured $14 million in races this cycle, and now they've gone on another spending spree to the tune of $4.2 million.
