Who has a Wife or Daughter going to the Woman's March on Washington?

[BarcaDeac]

Nah they have it every year. Not newsworthy. Marchers used to litter the park near my house on Capitol Hill with posters of aborted fetuses. Throw away your trash.

Anybody have a daughter or wife marching in the march today?

I don't. Both my wife and daughter are pro-choice.

A Year Ago, They Marched. Now a Record Number of Women Are Running for Office

Zwiener is part of a grassroots movement that could change America. Call it payback, call it a revolution, call it the Pink Wave, inspired by marchers in their magenta hats, and the activism that followed. There is an unprecedented surge of first-time female candidates, overwhelmingly Democratic, running for offices big and small, from the U.S. Senate and state legislatures to local school boards. At least 79 women are exploring runs for governor in 2018, potentially doubling a record for female candidates set in 1994, according to the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University. The number of Democratic women likely challenging incumbents in the U.S. House of Representatives is up nearly 350% from 41 women in 2016. Roughly 900 women contacted Emily’s List, which recruits and trains pro-choice Democratic women, about running for office from 2015 to 2016; since President Trump’s election, more than 26,000 women have reached out about launching a campaign. The group had to knock down a wall in its Washington office to make room for more staff.

Founded shortly after the election, Indivisible is one of the groups widely credited with organizing progressives to turn up and protest wherever Republicans held town halls to discuss the health care bill. The outpouring of anger mirrored the tactics of the Tea Party, which announced itself as a force in U.S. politics in part through its own angry demonstrations at President Obama’s health care bill. “The women are in my grill no matter where I go,” Republican Representative Dave Brat of Virginia complained early last year after he was criticized for refusing to hold a town hall. Spanberger is running for Brat’s seat.

ha!

Maybe they will be influenced to at least vote next time. Voting seems much more effective than protesting the loss afterwards. Maybe this protest will amount to something but I will be quite surprised if it does.

Running for office is even more effective than voting.

Correct. And record turnout of women voting for all of the new women running for office is even more effective.

This isn't about economics or wealth risc. Its about human decentcy of which the Pubs have none of.

They are gonna take a huge bath later this year and it will be worse than what they tea party did back in 2010. We're talking potentially 40+ house seats here.

Plus a few Senate seats, a few governor mansions and a lot of state leg seats. Maybe even enough to control re-districting in 2020.
