Good morning to you!
"The failure of 'gay marriage' as a national issue in the 2006 elections sends a message that the politics of division no longer work," said Dison.
Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, a political action committee focused on ensuring women's reproductive rights, said she believes voters are no longer mobilizing behind the more hard-line approaches to cultural issues proposed by some Republicans in the past.
"[In 2006] We saw a backlash against divisive attacks on a woman's right to choose because President Bush and his allies in Congress and in the states had overstepped and overreached," Keenan noted. "[Beginning with the Terri Schiavo feeding tube case] Americans witnessed firsthand what it meant for politicians to interfere in our personal, private medical decisions. Voters are beginning to connect the dots. They see the same politicians involved in the Schiavo case blocking stem cell research and undermining women's reproductive freedom."
Members of the pro-choice group EMILY's List, which provides money and guidance for pro-choice female candidates and works to help elect Democrats, said after having won Congress, they are now turning to the White House.

On nice thing about this weather, it is so clean and clear, it's as if I could hear your voice. Or maybe that's the flock of turkeys up the hill :-)
