We Are Democrats and Women

The Democratic Party and women share common values and priorities, including supporting our families, protecting our country, and advancing the issues that matter most to women of all ages and ethnicities. President Obama and our elected Democratic leaders in Congress and across the country continue to work tirelessly to advance progress for women in every respect. That’s why women vote Democratic.

A crucial part of the Democratic Party, the Women’s Leadership Forum (WLF) was founded in 1993 and aims to raise money as a tool to support the President’s agenda and engage women in our democracy. It also aims to provide more information about local Democratic activities as well as opportunities to hear from and interact with party leaders.

The WLF is engaged in a wide array of political activities, providing its members with substantive information, discussion, and action. This includes an annual issues conference, regional events that share/present policy initiatives, opportunities to raise political awareness and cultivate new members, an opportunity to participate in conference calls with policy and political leaders, and much more.

Setting the Record Straight on Small Business

After 23 consecutive months of job growth and the signing of 18 small business tax cuts, it should be clear that President Obama and the Democratic Party understand the vital role small businesses play in our economy. After all, small businesses have been responsible for 2 out of every 3 new jobs in the U.S. and employ half of workers in the U.S. That is why the President has kept small businesses in mind with every piece of legislation that has come to his desk.

I stand with the President. Although I may not agree with everything he says, I can see the progress he has made. I can see the change. I want to do what I can to further along this amazing progress in 2010.
