I'd appreciate it." Walsh responded by saying, "Yes, ...
Female Voters, We Need You
By Christine Bronstein - Politics DailyI admit it. I have a terrible voting record. My dad is Republican-leaning and I am a Democrat, so assuming we would cancel each other out, we have lazily ignored most elections. This year, with the midterms approaching, I finally understand that my vote will make a difference. I have been trying to keep up on all the debates involving women's issues and women candidates (harder than it sounds with three kids and a start-up business).

By not in system - AOL News
NEW YORK (Sept. 23) - An unusually large contingent of female Republican candidates with strong anti-abortion views is heating up debate on the issue and could change the political equation in the next Congress. In California, Nevada, Delaware and New Hampshire, the GOP nominees for seats in the U.S. Senate are women who favor outlawing most abortions.
