Our media hasn't even scratched the surface as to what is going on politically. It is like we are not there. The burnt orange tee shirts haven't disappeared in Texas because Wendy Davis didn't win or the Dream Defenders still have their chapters in Florida. The Dream Defenders are working hard in Ferguson right now.

I was also impressed with Ms.Pressley.

Wow, Ayanna Pressley is a force to be reckoned with! She reminds me of Michelle Obama. Emily's List deserves to get more attention, and with them we may just get somewhere. There are plenty of dedicated, articulate Liberal/Progressive women who could bring some major challenges to the Old White Men network, and they need all the help they can get.

This is a great series you're doing. I'm looking forward to the one on Hillary, too

Women are getting more involved in politics. We have many reasons why we have to now. This using our access to health care as a political football has brought many who can donate into the picture. The minimum of $200 isn't that much for a person who isn't strapped for money per election cycle. Things are not going to change unless we push for them.

Media spends their time talking with Koch sponsored organizations. that is directly funded by Koch. So these organizations and front groups for the Kochs are household names. But do people know anything about the Children's Defense Fund and what they do? Or have there been a close look at Common Core and the over testing of children. But we do hear about all the incompetent public schools and their teachers from Koch funded think tanks of old white guys. Most of them probably can't remember the birthdays of their own kids.

Thank you for doing this

Thank you for doing this series, momoe. You're doing a great job exploring an important, sometimes underappreciated group, and I look forward to the next installment.
