Getting Out the Conservative Women's Vote


LIBERAL WOMEN'S GROUP DEMEANS WOMEN

Conservative leaders defend the kitchen and home and the millions of women voting their values in November

Los Angeles, CA-In a speech to the Democratic Women's Club this afternoon, Stephanie Schriock, president of the liberal fundraising group Emily's List, plans to criticize the G.O.P. as the party that wants to keep women in the kitchen.


In a joint response, The Kitchen Cabinet (TKC) President Sonja Eddings Brown along with TKC leadership team members Sue Lynch, president of the National Federation of Republican Women, and American Conservative Union's Lynn Bradshaw issued the followoing statement:

"What's wrong with being in the kitchen? Why does the president of Emily's List, the fundraising nerve center for liberal women in America, belittle women who start their day in the kitchen--mothers and others who make a hot breakfast before they head off to school, or to operating rooms, their Wall Street offices or even their Senate caucuses? Is she kidding?

"The change we are all looking for in the country is coming from women who love their families, love their homes, and love their work. Women who pour into the streets and lead patriotic Tea Parties. Women who are linking arms and forming a line to change the nation by exercising our sacred right to vote."

In 2008, 38 million American women were registered to vote but sat out the election. The Kitchen Cabinet is organizing conservative women, their organizations and their leaders to unite in inundating the polls with votes in a year when women are expected to outvote men 52% - 48%.


This weekend, The Kitchen Cabinet is leading get-out-the-vote initiatives on the ground in Ohio and Nevada with a focus on other battleground states over the next three weekends.
