Marcia Pappas, President of NOW NYS joined a delegation of women’s rights activists who are working in Iowa to have Senator Clinton be their first choice at their caucus. On December 27th, the first of many house parties was hosted by a local NOW activist where women cried and cheered with the certainty that they would see the first woman president.
“Iowan’s take their caucus process very seriously. I am here with the delegation to make sure that we have successful caucuses across Iowa. New Yorkers have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Senator Clinton for over 6 years, and we will miss her, but we are ready to share her with the nation. Her ability to listen to her constituents, make decisions and lead is unsurpassed,” states Pappas.
During the 10 day campaign, Pappas, along with several NOW activists, volunteering their personal time, have planned parties and a caravan for Senator Clinton. Activists from Washington DC, Maryland, New York State, Virginia, Minnesota, and West Virginia are joining thousands of Hillary supporters on the ground in Iowa.
The delegation will reach out to hundreds of Iowans, both whom support Clinton and who may be undecided. The task at hand is to assist Iowans in getting to their caucus and to convince the undecided that Clinton is their best choice for the President of the United States.
Iowans are responding to the delegation’s invitations to parties in several cities.
Parties are planned in the following cities; Cedar Rapids, Davenport, Ames, Iowa City, Des Moines, Waterloo, with a southeast caravan to reach Iowans in Pella, Oskaloosa, Ottumwa, Fairfield and Washington.
The NOW PAC endorsed Senator Clinton for President. For more information about Senator Clinton see http://www.nowpacs.org/2008/hillary.
