On Tuesday, every vote counts. We must not allow reactionary forces
to make further gains as a
result of women voters' disillusionment. If disgust with the current
crisis depresses women's votes, we will face a Congress even more hostile
to feminist issues and a roll-back of reproductive rights.
Your vote is the only way to put an end to the keyhole peeping by the
House Judiciary Committee and to stop the attacks on our rights in the
states and in Congress. Women have been counted in the endless array of
opinion polls. Now it's time to be heard in the only poll that really
counts -- the voting booth.
