1. I've seen the second on local TV here.

The first (Women's health) is new or I just haven't caught it yet. I record everything though and I'm running a bit behind on programs recorded on local channels.

His ads even keep that grass roots feel, which is good as it a grass roots campaign!

ANY DUer that has time to do some phone banking against Cantor PM me, I'll get you in contact with the people that can get you up and running in minutes as long as you live in the US. This IS a grass roots campaign that has momentum!

2. So good to hear, obx!

Women's Health is new.
Glad you like grass-roots feel, and hope others do, too.

4. I was surprised to get an email from Madeleine Stowe regarding Wayne Powell!

As many of you are aware, I campaigned for three days in Richmond for pro-choice Wayne Powell, the opponent of Republican Majority Leader Eric Cantor in Virginia’s 7th District. You may also know by now that Cantor co-sponsored 32 anti-abortion bills with Todd Akin, the extremist Congressman from Missouri who ridiculously claimed women couldn’t get pregnant when forcibly raped. Among the many bills Cantor championed with Akin include the introduction of the “Forcible Rape” term which attempted to redefine the meaning of “rape” and the “Forced Ultrasound” legislation.

Cantor stands solidly with Akin and Richard Mourdock, who just this past week said pregnancy by rape is “God’s will.” He refuses to disavow or even distance himself from either’s candidacy.

"Polling shows that Cantor is not popular in his home district with a 37% approval rating. Much of this is due to the 7th District being 68% pro-choice which is a figure that can't be ignored. Wayne can win this race with our help. The campaign will be running the attached pro-choice ad up until Election Day. I ask you to join me in financially supporting this buy which will allow the campaign to air even more spots so that we can saturate the airwaves with Wayne's solidly pro-choice message while reminding voters of Eric Cantor's solidly anti-choice one. Contrary to what Mr. Cantor has done, he doesn't know "what's right for women"."

Thanks for helping Wayne,

Madeleine Stowe
