It was the perfect way to celebrate how far we've come in this movement for equality, and to let it be known that we do not intend to be taken back to a time when our voices weren't heard, when our concerns were ignored, and when we were not treated with respect and fairness.
This election is critical in standing up for women's rights. Here are some things to know about McCain:
He is...
AGAINST comprehensive sex education
AGAINST international family planning funding
AGAINST Roe v. Wade
AGAINST funding to prevent unintended pregnancies and teen pregnancies
AGAINST funding for public education on emergency contraception
AGAINST requiring health care plans to cover birth control
AGAINST restoring Medicaid funding that could be used for family planning services for low-income women
And as if that wasn't bad enough, McCain doesn't support Pay Equity Legislation that would require that employers pay women the same that they pay men for the same job.
I don't know what century he's living in, but we were there in force yesterday to show him that we're not interested in having him lead us in this current one.
It comes down to being fair and principled in your approach to health care and families- and if that's something you're into, you shouldn't be into McCain.
We waved signs and let hundreds of people driving down Northwestern Highway know that McCain is a McStake... big time!
