 Concerned Women for America Launches "She Votes 2012" 

Nance:  "The time is now for women to stand up and let their voices be heard."
Washington, DC - Concerned Women for America (CWA) President Penny Nance announced today the launch of She Votes 2012, a million-dollar nationwide campaign to get out the vote in the November general election.  The goal is to raise awareness and activism of women in key states, resulting in stronger conservative leadership on the state and national level.
 
"We know that when conservatives vote their values, they elect men and women whom CWA and CWA members can work with to see that founding principles are applied and enacted into law," CWA President Penny Nance said.  "We need conservatives to turn out in great numbers in order to get legislation passed that will move our great country back to a secure footing."
 
The She Votes 2012 campaign will work to mobilize members in key states to change the trajectory of our nation through grassroots education and activism.  Organizers will focus on three main areas:
 
·      Voter registration
·      Voter identification
·      Voter turnout
 
"We will light a 'grassfire' amongst our constituents to reach women, families, and cultural leaders," Nance said.  "This is a critical election year, and the time is now for women to stand up and let their voices be heard."
 
Field directors will use phone-banks, social media, and public events to encourage voter participation.  They will work with state CWA chapters, other organizations, and local churches as they carry out the mission of She Votes 2012.
 
CWA is the nation's largest public policy women's organization and is uniquely positioned to connect with and advocate for women and families.  Over the past three decades, CWA has built an effective grassroots network of conservative activists, which includes 500,000 constituents and 600 chapters reaching women, families, and cultural leaders.

WASHINGTON, June 5, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Former Presidential Candidate Gary Bauer congratulated Governor Scott Walker for his win in Wisconsin's recall election, calling it "another sign that taxpayers will award office holders ready to do the hard work of reigning in out-of-control government spending."

Bauer, the chairman of the Campaign for Working Families,  made the following statement:

"I congratulate Governor Scott Walker for his hard-fought victory tonight, and most especially for having the courage of his convictions to fight the good fight. But the victory in Wisconsin is not Scott Walker's alone.  It is a victory for the hard-working taxpayers of Wisconsin, who foot the bill year after year.  It is a victory for common sense over powerful special interests.  It is a victory that taxpayers in every state can celebrate.  It is a victory, yes, even for some union members.

"Since Gov. Walker's reforms were enacted, tens of thousands of state employees have opted to keep more of the money they earn rather than let the public employees union siphon off their hard-earned dollars.  In other words, once given the choice, more than half of the public employees union's members decided that they didn't need the union.  These reforms will pay real dividends for the taxpayers of Wisconsin.  They are the real winners tonight.

"The recall election is a sign of good things to come.  The power of the Big Labor bosses has finally been checked, not just in Wisconsin, but also in scores of other states across the country.  More governors, legislators and taxpayers will be inspired to stand up against the liberal labor unions and do what is truly in the best interests of their communities.  Wisconsin's 10 Electoral College votes are now in play, and the anti-tax, small government movement that swept the country in 2010 is about to sweep Barack Obama out of office in 154 days!"
