Women Voters Rally in Eastern Virginia

Concerned Women of America, a conservative women voters' group, will be rallying voters in three cities in eastern Virginia today. Newport News? You've already missed'em. Richmond? Shut down the computer and run, if you want to meet them. Fairfax? You might have time to take the bus...

This web site is (obviously) addressed primarily to voters in the United States, although overseas readers are welcome. If you have a vote in Election 2012 and aren't yet registered, C.W.A. will help you register. They would like to meet you and confirm that you're an actual, conscious, competent voter. They will help you work with disability issues, clarify where you should register and vote if you've not voted from your current residence before, and discuss your concerns about the candidates and the issues in this election. They're not supposed to interfere with your voting for whomever you support, but they'll be friendlier if you support at least one Republican.

If you don't legally have a vote but would like to influence the election, C.W.A. will have lots of ideas for ways you can make your voice heard. Maybe literally, by speaking at a meeting. Maybe less directly, by talking to other students at your school. (Some of these ladies are the type who might put you on the stand and introduce you to a meeting as a "little Republican" before you enter grade six. That happened to me. I survived.)

Someone who wasn't clear about the geography of Virginia sent me e-mails asking whether I would at least "reach out to 5, 10, 25, or 50 or more" other women about this rally. Right. Here it is: I don't know most readers' gender, but I'm reaching out to as many women as read this blog. Here is the pertinent part of the e-mail:

As part of their "She Votes" voter initiative to rally and mobilize Christian conservative women voters, our partner Concerned Women for America will be rolling their "She Votes 2012" tour bus into several key cities in Virginia beginning today, and we'd like you to be a part of the celebration!

Here is their schedule for Thursday, August 9:
Newport News, VA
Holiday Inn and Suites
943 J. Clyde Morris Blvd
9:00 AM

Richmond, VA
Virginia State Capitol
1000 Bank Street
11:45 AM

Fairfax, VA
Fair Oaks Church
4601 West Ox Rd.
3:00 PM


If you live in or around any of these cities, we urge you to make plans to see the "She Votes" bus and meet with Concerned Women for America president Penny Young Nance to learn more about their dynamic outreach effort that is engaging, and empowering conservative women to take back our nation during this election.

+ + Become part of "She Votes 2012"

If you are a conservative woman or likeminded man who is concerned if our nation can survive four more Obama years; if you worry about the kind of America your children and grandchildren will grow up in, we encourage you to become part of CWA's "She Votes" voter initiative.
Go here now for more information and to add your name.

(If you add your name, you will get lots of e-mail from conservative Republicans.)
