• We are 51 percent of the population, and with this majority voice we CAN influence the direction of critical policies important to us, such as:  childcare, choice, personal safety, economic security and a healthy environment.
• We are not effectively exercising our hard-earned constitutional right.  22 million registered, unmarried women did not vote in the last election.  And more than 50 million eligible women - married and unmarried - are not even registered to vote.
• A poll last year of some 3,000 women of diverse backgrounds conducted by the women's voting project, Women Voices Women Vote, found that 65 percent of the women polled believed this county is going in the wrong direction.
• Based on the findings of a recent survey by Business and Professional Women USA, retirement security, job opportunitiy, good schools and housing costs are all of HIGHER importance to women than homeland security.
• Voting statistics among all women can be improved.  According to the U.S. Census bureau, in 2000, some 30 percent of eligible women were not registered to vote.
• Registering is only half the battle.  Almost half of registered unmarried women don't vote.  If they turned out in numbers, unmarried women would be the largest voting bloc and would be the deciding "X" factor in close elections.
