Please help.  Meg Whitman - the former CEO of eBay and Republican
candidate for Governor of California (and infrequent voter) is flying
across the country on Thursday to campaign for Republican Gubernatorial
Candidate of Virginia Bob McDonnell - who as a 34 year old man on the
verge of entering elective politics wrote a graduate school thesis in
which, among other things, he said that working women were a detriment
to society, that married couples should not have access to contraception
and that women should not have the right to choose.  

If Bob McDonnell's extreme views had won the day - Meg Whitman would
have never been the CEO of a major company, would not have had access to
child care and would never have been in the position she is in today to
run for public office.  What is Meg Whitman thinking campaigning with a
man whose views would bar women from the work place and who as an
elected official has fought against issues of important to women like
equal pay for equal work?  Why would Meg Whitman campaign for a far
right wing ideologue and misogynist like Bob McDonnell?  Is she not
ready for prime time?  or does she just no know the facts?

Please email your lists both nationally and in California and urge your
members to call Meg Whitman right away at (408) 400-3887 - tell her you
are outraged that she would have the poor judgment to campaign with a
man, Bob McDonnell, who has so little regard for women and families.
Please have your members call Meg Whitman at (408) 400-3887 and demand
that she cancel her appearance with Bob McDonnell in Virginia and
apologize for even thinking that it is ok to campaign with someone who
think families should not have access to child care, that women should
not have the right to make their own medical decisions and that women
who work are a detriment to their families.

Meg Whitman is being brought to Virginia by Bob McDonnell for one reason
- it's his desperate attempt to recover from the revelations of his
thesis and his real extreme views on women that have resulted in near
disaster for his campaign.  Please email your members - have them call
Meg Whitman at at (408) 400-3887 and tell her in no uncertain terms that
it is a mistake for her to help Bob McDonnell hide his real views on
women and that it would be shameful if she allowed Bob McDonnell to use
her appearance to fool voters into thinking he has the interests of
women at heart when clearly he does not.
