Greetings!

President Obama gave a truly inspiring speech last night at his State of the Union address. He has worked so hard for women's issues. However, the Republican War against Women is stronger than ever! The women in the CT Federation of Democratic Women have a proven record of organizing and advocating for women's rights and getting Democrats elected. Please plan on attending our upcoming events to meet fellow Democratic women and to start the work that needs to be done for victory in 2014 election! We need Nancy Pelosi back as Speaker of the House.
