Hammer time!

A recent poll shows that 57% of women would be more likely to support a candidate who opposes the Knobby Jobby decision.  Seventy-one percent of women think a candidate who supports corporations being allowed to dictate birth control choices has his or her priorities out of whack.

So...can anyone explain to me why, here in Michigan, where we have a close contest for the Senate seat of retiring U.S. Senator Carl Levin, Democrat Gary Peters isn't absolutely lambasting republican Terri Lynn Land over this issue?  I mean not one commercial--and it's not like Land has any choice other than to back corporate rights on birth control.  Anti-choice forces here would crucify her if she didn't.

And it would be a nice reminder to that majority of women who do support Democrats on why they vote for us in the first place.  And it could be simple, too:  "Terri Lynn Land believes corporation have the right to make your family's birth control choices...."  Fade out.

Sheesh, it's politics--whenever the Gods throw you a hammer, pound away.

Peace,
