Netroots Nation MN 09, and a question for the DFL candidates
Tomorrow is the launch of the two day Netroots Nation Minnesota conference, and I’m unbelievably excited to attend. There are many panels, both blogger focused and otherwise that I can’t wait to watch, and I’m hoping that we will get a good sized crowd for my session, Blog-a-sota, which will be held at 9 am in the Ballroom (please come, they gave me the BIG ROOM for cryin’ out loud!).
But one of the highlights will likely be the DFL gubernatorial panel held Friday night. If you have a question you would like to see answered, you can tweet it with the hashtag #nmn09gov, or, if you are like me and need more than 140 characters, you can send an email to: questionsATnetrootsminnesotaDOTorg
Or, maybe you would like to make sure my question gets asked? If so, please consider emailing or tweeting the above contacts and tell them that you support women’s choice in Minnesota, and would like to know how the candidates would answer the following:
Tim Pawlenty has used his 8 years as governor to roll back women’s access to reproductive health more than any governor in recent history. Despite heavy DFL majorities in in the legislature, there has been no effort made to change this via legislation. If you are elected governor, will you make it a priority to remove such roadblocks to abortion access such as the 24 hour waiting period, the state based gag rule, or the sometimes factually inaccurate information provided in the “women’s right to know” information act?
