The New Agenda has issued a press release expressing concern about NOW's recent endorsement of the Obama/Biden. This precedent-setting move marks the first time in NOW's 42-year history that it has endorsed an all-male ticket.
The Washington Post picked up the press release and wrote about us on their blog. Within hours, the piece was moved to the front page of the Washington Post and received over 1000 comments.
The New Agenda co-founder Amy Siskind says, "We find it quite perplexing that NOW has chosen this moment to endorse an all-male ticket." The endorsement seems all the more puzzling given the fact that the Republican Party is running its first female candidate for Vice-President, Gov. Sarah Palin, and the Green Party is fielding its first all-woman presidential ticket with Cynthia McKinney and Rosa Clemente.
Jennifer Borg, another co-founder of The New Agenda, says, "We want to give Sarah Palin a chance to tell us what Sarah Palin believes on women's issues." End Quote
