EMILY’s List Announces New Campaign: Sarah Doesn’t Speak for Me
Launches On-Line Arena Where Americans Can Speak Out Against Sarah Palin's Backwards-Looking Candidates
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- EMILY's List, the nation's largest resource for women in politics, today launches "Sarah Doesn’t Speak for Me," an ongoing and diverse campaign that provides real opportunities to fight back against the radical agenda of Sarah Palin, and her endorsed candidates.
"Sarah Palin has predicted a rising tide of mothers and women voters will support her so-called "Mama Grizzly" candidates. Today, we call upon women – and men! – to let their voices be heard and to reject Palin's reactionary candidates and backward-looking agenda. We're asking Democrats, Independents, and moderate Republicans who have no home – to join us in our new campaign, Sarah Doesn't Speak for Me.
This Tuesday, join EMILY's List President Stephanie Schriock at the National Press Club for a press conference outlining the goals, structure, and content of the campaign.
