I had heard of EMILY's List before reading this, but only in passing, and I have to say that I really like the idea. That people can choose who their money is going too, and after reading it I am tempted to join it in the future. The success in the women's movements recently is encouraging, and it will be especially interesting to see what happens now that Obama is president and the Democrats continue to have the control of the Senate without having to battle with vetos from the president, hopefully.
I still always feel inadequate when reading this book, I don't know enough about current events and I never have the time or spend the time to find out. I know that the governor of my state, CT is a woman, Jodi Rell, but I don't know much about the rest of the government in either Connecticut or the US in general.
I really think that the women parties should come together under just Women's Group or something like that so that they can pool their money and resources. Then maybe they could stop fighting and competing with each other and actually get something big accomplished. I would love to be part of that, I've always thought about trying to do politics, but not really focused on it.
