NESC Update

 Dear New England Steering Committee,

Happy Friday! Thank you to everyone who joined us as today’s NESC meeting. We have a lot of exciting upcoming events, please see our list and let us know how you would like to be involved.

Campaign Ads

Santorum on Romney-  “Rombo”

Romney links Santorum to Hillary – “Votes”

Have a great Presidents’ Day weekend,

Kathy, Justin, Ryan and Rachel

Feb 16 2012

We have everything to lose – support the re-election of our President and have a great time as well.

Dear Friends -

You may have read in the Boston Globe about the upcoming visit by our
First Lady Michelle Obama. The date is Friday March 9 and tickets are available now.

Please remember that although we sell “tickets” to events, this is really a
donation to the re-election campaign, and as has become apparent,
women in particular have everything to lose
if we do not take action to support the re-election of President Obama.

Please RSVP soon as we expect this event to sell out.

The details are below -
