A Women for Obama dispatch from Colorado ...
On Sunday, State Senator Moe Keller joined us at the Jefferson County Campaign for Change Headquarters to lead a women's health discussion and kick off a Women's Walk canvass. The event was held in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We took the opportunity to highlight Senator Obama's strong support for research to find cures and treatments for breast cancer and other diseases affecting women, as well as the many other ways his health care proposals will positively impact women's health and well-being. We were lucky to have Senator Keller, who has served the residents of Jefferson County for over 20 years in elected office, leading the discussion. She has been strong advocate in the Colorado legislature for women's health, mental health and many other critical issues. She explained some of the stark contrasts between the health care plans of Senator Obama and Senator McCain and answered important questions raised by the women in attendance. She also let us in on her own personal canvassing tips! Coincidentally, Senator Obama published an Op-Ed in The Denver Post that same morning entitled "Health care a right for all Americans," in which he mentioned his own mother's battle with ovarian cancer.

Check out a couple of photos from the event!
