| Name: | Emily's List: Early Money Is Like Yeast | ||
| About: | EMILY's List, the nation's largest grassroots political network, is dedicated to taking back our country from the radical right wing by electing pro-choice Democratic women to federal, state, and local office. We are a network of more than 97,000 Americans -- from all across the country and all walks of life -- committed to recruiting and funding viable women candidates; helping them build and run effective campaign organizations; and mobilizing women voters to help elect progressive candidates across the nation. EMILY'S List has helped to change the face of power in America. Until EMILY's List was founded in 1985, no Democratic woman had ever been elected to the U.S. Senate in her own right, no woman had ever been elected governor of a large state, and the number of Democratic women in the U.S. House had declined to 12 -- less than three percent of the chamber's 435 members. Since then, our grassroots network has helped elect 56 Democratic pro-choice members of Congress, 11 senators, and seven governors. EMILY's List has also become the largest financial resource for minority women seeking federal office. We know how to win. As we complete our second decade of operation, EMILY's List is needed more than ever before. The Bush Republicans have launched a sustained assault on the right to choose and advances for women. They have run our economy for the benefit of the few, at the expense of us all. And on the world stage, they have created more enemies than friends for the United States, threatening our security. To win this fall, EMILY's List is supporting an exciting group of pro-choice Democratic women candidates; preparing to mobilize millions of voters on election day through our WOMEN VOTE!® project; and training hundreds of campaign workers to help our candidates win. Looking to the future, EMILY's List is now helping to recruit, train, and fund state and local candidates to help create the next generation of Democratic women leaders. Join EMILY's List today -- and through the power of working together, we can build a progressive America. | ||
