Minnesota has more working women than almost any other state in the nation.
Governor Pawlenty's wife, Mary, is one of them. She met him in law school,
served as a judge for years, and now helps run a successful foundation.

But her husband is scheduled to raise money next Wednesday with Virginia
gubernatorial candidate Bob McDonnell -- and Bob McDonnell's blueprint for
governing states that women who work are "detrimental to the family."

Read what Bob McDonnell wrote about working women and  ask Tim Pawlenty to
ditch the pig <http://../../../DitchThePig?source=20090903email>:

[E]xisting federal child-care programs already cost more than $6.9 billion
in 1988. Further expenditures would be used to subsidize *a dynamic new
trend of working women and feminists that is ultimately detrimental to the
family* by entrenching a status-quo of non-parental primary nurture of
children.1

Minnesotans are proud to have 69 percent of its women in the workforce2 and
we certainly don't think working mothers and women are "detrimental" to any
family.

Tim Pawlenty may think he's already running for President, but we still
expect him to represent the values that we Minnesotans hold dear. That means
no support for sexist candidates.

Sign the petition<http://allianceminnesota.org/page/m2/3ae5a909/45689eb/1a6d5c45/5d475624/128602446/VEsF/>and
we'll make sure Tim Pawlenty knows that Minnesotans are proud to have
a
workforce that supports families of all kinds, even ones that include women
and "feminists."

Thanks for speaking out,
