From Emily’s List , the pro-choice PAC, in an email alert yesterday:

This morning, an all-male panel of religious leaders testified in front of a Congressional committee about birth control coverage. That’s right, only men — who are not doctors, by the way — were allowed to testify by the GOP leadership about critical women’s health coverage. No women.

It’s absolutely outrageous. The all-male GOP leadership is calling on all-male religious leaders to decide whether birth control should be fully covered by insurance plans.

You know what? It is outrageous. I sent off a contribution to Emily’s List to keep up the pressure, and would encourage you to do the same. Read more on their blog.

And from FactCheck.org, a request for assistance and participation as “spin detectors“.

We’re trying to get people to send us campaign materials they think may contain false or misleading information. We’re going review each item we get. And I’m sure we’ll end up writing about some of the campaign materials we receive. And we plan to write about some of the folks who submit campaign materials to us.

We’re particularly interested in Hawaii’s senate race, which Politico recently listed as one of the most competitive. The project is called “Spin Detectors.” The link is www.factcheck.org/spindetectors/
