Good Freep Opportunity.  Be a thorn in their sides. Make some Theresa and Hillary signs.   Sign up on the website and learn what the competition is doing. Women vote:  teachers, social workers, soccer moms and the PTA are a driving force in elections. 

Enough with the vaginas! (actual title folks)

"Women and men will take to the streets to register, recruit, educate, and mobilize voters in battleground states to ensure that women count and are counted in this election."

Wouldn't this read better as "Men and women will take to the streets..." Or is that just being a normal sexist, woman-bashing, conservative pig?

When are men going to start voting as a block?

Real men already do; they're called conservatives.

[familyop]

"When are men going to start voting as a block?"

...when all conservative men who are married while pussyfooting after other men's wives stop pandering to a bunch of lesbian feminist leaders and uphold family for real.

As for the left/liberals, they are hopeless and recognized as the opposition. But conservative men who continue to undermine marriage by keeping our society (and others' wives) loose with anti-family policies are traitors against conservatism.

"Then it will be plain that the first condition for the
liberation of the wife is to bring the whole female sex
back into public industry, and that this in turn demands
the abolition of the monogamous family as the economic
unit of society" (Frederick Engels, "Origins of the Family,
Private Property, and the State").

Many feminists carried Mao's Little Red Book in the late 1960s
and early 1970s. Some of those feminists have attended Republican
meetings in every locale ever since. Socialism, you see, seeks
to push its policies with its gradualist manner within its
opposition.

Most singles vote Democrat.

More men's libbers should be joining us in conservatism shortly, BTW, as they find that our philandering business/government leaders continue to have it all and are spoiled with the way things are (easy elimination of their genetic/sexual competition through feminist legislation).

[familyop]

Thank you very much for that list of associated organizations. It's good evidence and something we all should've started archiving a long time ago to make the case for all conservatives against family breaking feminist policies.

More Freep Opportunities

Go to a house party in your neighborhood next Wednesday to defend our schools. To find a local house party, just click here. We’re gathering to highlight failures of national leadership on public education.

Sign Up

Dear MoveOn member,

The Bush administration has tried desperately to build the appearance of progress on public education. But the reality is that the White House and Congress continue to shortchange our schools -- cutting billions of dollars promised to our kids while burdening local districts with new costs and new bureaucracy.^[1] And now, instead of coming to the rescue of desperate school districts, a memo leaked from the president's budget office reveals Bush plans for even deeper cuts in nearly every education program.^[2]

It is time to hold Washington's feet to the fire, time to end the pattern of broken promises and get serious about our schools.

Next week, on Wednesday September 22nd, MoveOn will join more than 40 groups in co-hosting house parties across the nation. The goal is to highlight the failures of our national leadership on public education, and to begin to build solutions. More than 2000 house parties are already planned. With your help we will build the largest national mobilization for public schools ever. To find a house party in your neighborhood, go to:

http://www.greatpublicschools.org/

Despite his lip service, President Bush is NOT taking the action our schools need. Washington is handing out tax breaks to millionaires while forcing school districts to lay off teachers. And while our tax dollars fund school construction in Iraq, Congress has slashed the budget for school construction here at home.

The facts speak for themselves:

• More American children than ever are pouring into already overcrowded schools.
• Many attend their first day of school without the preschool education so vital to learning.
• America now faces the largest wave of teacher retirements in our history, while young teachers leave the classroom at alarming rates.
• 14 million children are home alone after school, but after-school programs are the first to be cut in the current budget crunch.
• College costs are soaring, but loan and grant programs are not keeping up.

The only way great public schools will become a REAL priority in Washington is when teachers, parents, students and concerned citizens join together to demand that empty rhetoric be replaced with results. That's what Wednesday night's house parties are all about.
You can host a house party yourself by signing up at:

http://www.greatpublicschools.org/

As a house party host, you'll receive a free video to show at your party, and a resource kit to guide you every step of the way. But you have to sign up today or tomorrow to get these materials in time.

Join us in this exciting movement to change America's schools. We're growing, one living room at a time. Be sure to sign up for the house party in your neighborhood at:

[k2blader]

So the size and scope of gubmint is all womens' fault?

[biblewonk]

Now this is just sad.

[newgeezer]

So the size and scope of gubmint is all womens' fault?

Well, ultimately, it's the men's fault (particularly those girly men who caved on Amendment XIX).

[biblewonk]

Amen brother!
