If there is one event I would have liked to see at the Democratic National Convention it is the Emily’s List Gala. Yes, even more than Barack’s speech.

You can see a moving photo album of the event here.

Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama sat among all the female Senators and Congresswomen with their supporters on the 80th Anniversary of Women’s Right to Vote.

Even if you didn’t vote for her – I hope there was a place in your soul that was sorry Hillary didn’t win. A place in your heart that wanted a woman to bust through the glass ceiling instead of fill it with 18 million cracks.

I honored the 88th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment (August 26, 1920) – establishing my personal right to vote – by making a $100 contribution to Emily’s List.

Emily’s List puts women in office.

Look Hillary would have been great. I would have cried tears of joy. Really. I would have been so happy for my daughter to see that.

But, there are others. Other women who can have the power to write law come election day. Women who are running for Senate and the House of Representatives who represent, you and I, and our uniquely feminine economic struggles.

We need women to look at every law and say, How is this going to impact women and their families? Is this policy good for everyone or just you? and vote accordingly. Emily’s List helps them get into office.

Join me in celebrating the anniversary of our right to vote by donating to Emily’s List and helping female candidates get elected to the United States Senate and the House of Representatives.
