The ramblings of a married, harried working mother in rural Central Arkansas.

ATTENTION, WOMEN!

Got your attention?   Good.  I knew it was bad.  I mean, I knew there were a LOT of women who were not voting.  But until this campaign came along, I didn't know how bad it WAS.  Got you wondering, now?  TWENTY MILLION SINGLE WOMEN did not vote in the last presidential election. It's the "single," as in "unmarried," part that's baffling, to me.  If unmarried women had voted at the same rate as married women, over SIX MILLION MORE VOTERS would have gone to the polls in 2004.  I weep for what might have been.  I also did not anticipate learning that those women make up the single largest group of non-voters in the country.  Do your part, and get the word out.   Email this 30-second PSA to everyone you know.  If you have a website or blog, post this button,
  which links back to the "Women's Voices. Women Vote." website and PSAs.  Because, seriously, gals:  You have the power to change the world.  All you have to do is USE it.

And pass it on, wouldja?
