The leaders of Emily's List unveiled a new resource center on Tuesday to promote their new campaign targeting Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R).
Emily's List President Stephanie Schriock will detail the group's new "Sarah Doesn't Speak for Me" campaign during an availability Tuesday morning at the National Press Club, part of an effort to combat Palin's effect in this fall's elections and push back against her slate of candidates.
The campaign will center at first on a new website, which highlights some of the more controversial things Palin and her candidates have said during the election cycle.
But the site will also give users an opportunity to provide support to the slate of female candidates in favor of abortion rights whom Emily's List backs. It will include a store, an opportunity to donate, and profiles of many of the candidates Palin has backed — and many other resources.
The effort by the traditionally Democratic group is something of a direct effort to combat the pack of "mama grizzlies" that Palin has sought to bolster during this campaign cycle. These conservative women have been acclaimed by the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate as a new generation of political leaders set to head to Washington next year.
"It seems like it's kind of a mom awakening in the last year and a half, where women are just rising up and saying, 'No, we've had enough already,' " Palin said in a July Web video. "Because moms kind of just know when something's wrong."
The new Emily's List campaign won't be limited to the women Palin has supported, but looks to capitalize off the former Alaska governor's polarizing stature in American politics, especially among Democrats, who fret about the Republican candidates besting many of the incumbents Emily's List has traditionally supported come November.
It ain’t MS. Palin, it’s Mrs. Palin....
You are correct..my bad!
Yet they say nothing of Islam and the way Muslims treat women. Go figure.
Stephanie Schriock doesn't speak for me and neither does Emily's List.
