Women's Issues Debate this Sunday in NH!!

[bicentennial_baby]

"The 2004 Democratic presidential candidates will file into Moore Auditorium Sunday to spend the afternoon discussing issues critical to women.

College officials have confirmed that as of Thursday night, Wesley Clark and Joe Lieberman will definitely be in attendance, and John Edwards has expressed that it is very probable he will attend. John Kerry and Howard Dean have not responded affirmatively, but still may be attending. Dennis Kucinich and Al Sharpton are not expected to participate in the debate.

The candidates will be appearing as part of Lifetime Television's national public advocacy campaign, Our Lifetime Commitment: Every Woman Counts, which will continue throughout this presidential election year in order "to ensure that women's voices are heard and that their votes make a difference." The Rockefeller Center and ABC "Good Morning America" will be cosponsoring the event.

"The debate marks the first event this election year which specifically addresses women's issues. Topics to be addressed are the pay gap, education, violence and economic security.

The debate, which will be moderated by ABC's Claire Shipman, will give each of the candidates an opportunity to share their opinions on women's issues and to describe how they would handle these issues if they were elected. Shipman will then field questions from the audience, which will be composed of students, voters and national women's leaders."

4. Please, please Claire Shipman, do not ask any of the candidates

what their favorite movie is, or their favorite song or color, etc.

Please ask real questions that women of this country care about, health care, education, quality of life. All of these questions should also reflect the worries we have about what type of country our children and their children are inheriting from us.

10. I have to work until early afternoon, so it will depend on the time

And whether or not I can get my hands on a ticket. I read on the link provided that there won't be many seats available. It will be televised on my local ABC station and Lifetime. If I get to go I'll report back.

12. Let us know

KKarlton! Dartmouth is hours away from me - and inconvenient as heck to get to. In NH north/south travel is easy - but east/west is a nightmare.

I have some questions for the candidates.
