MA Women for Obama update letter

Dear Friends,

Two things:

1 – I don’t know if you follow Bill Maher but if you love satiric political comedy you won’t want to miss his recent online standup show “CrazyStupidPolitics” which can be found HERE

And in case you haven’t heard – he just donated a cool million to Bill Burton’s Super Pac “Priorities USA Action“, the only Super Pac supporting the re-election of President Obama.

2 – Most of us can’t afford to donate a million dollars, but some of us can stretch to donate to the Obama Campaign, and attending a great event makes it much less painful. Which brings me to the upcoming reception and dinner events in Boston with First Lady Michelle Obama.

Tickets to the March 9 events are selling briskly – I wouldn’t be surprised if we sell out by the middle of the week. If you are planning to attend but haven’t yet signed up I urge you to do it now.

Kiss the Auto Industry Hello

“If General Motors, Ford and Chrysler get the bailout that their chief executives asked for yesterday, you can kiss the American automotive industry goodbye.”  So wrote Mitt Romney in his 2008 New York Times editorial entitled “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt” in which he warned against auto industry bailouts then being requested by industry executives.

Day of Service at the Tobin School in Boston

by guest blogger – Barbara Weniger

On Saturday May 21st a gathering of volunteers came together at the Tobin School in Boston for a day of Community Service.  Three years ago President Obama called on all Americans to find projects in their own communities to get involved with and members of the New England Steering Committee and Women for Change have been volunteering at the Tobin School.  At 9 a.m. a group of us arrived and began working on clearing the grounds around the school and planting flowers and shrubs.  This seemingly small step does a lot just to enhance the experience of the students as they come and go to school each day.  Saturday was a nice cool day and with a large group of us helping it did not take long to get the job done.  There are so many ways we can each contribute to improving things and this is one of them.  When President Obama was in Boston on May 18th he spoke about how when the quality of life is improved for any one person it makes life better for all of us.  Thanks to everyone who helped at the Tobin School on Saturday!!
