The Oscar-winning actress will appear at a rally Saturday in Las Vegas.
Academy Award-winning actress Natalie Portman will hit the campaign trail on President Barack Obama's behalf Saturday at a major event in Nevada, which has emerged as a crucial swing state.
Portman will join a pair of Obama insiders, political strategist Valerie Jarrett and Democratic activist Cecilia Munoz, for a Las Vegas event designed to get women to vote.
The America-Nevada Women Vote 2012 Summit represents three consistent themes of the Obama re-election campaign that have emerged as the election cycle moves into its crucial final phase. One is enlisting as much A-list celebrity support as possible. (That’s where Portman comes in.)
The second and increasingly important theme is the president’s support for issues such as reproductive rights and support for families that are of particular concern to women. (That’s why all three headliners are women.)
The third is the centrality of Latino voters to the president’s re-election hopes. (Hence Munoz.) Latinos have emerged as a particularly important voting bloc in Nevada, and there is some research that suggests that Latinas outnumber Latinos among Spanish-surnamed voters there.
The event will be held at the historic 5th Street School Auditorium.
"President Obama fights for women every day, and I am proud to stand with him on behalf of women and girls across the country," Portman said. "The president has proven that he is a strong advocate for women and a defender of the issues that are important to women and their families, from affordable health care to fair pay and quality public education."
Hollywoods Conservative Underground has some advice for Ms. Portman; "Read the Bill" says President of the Hollywoods Conservative Underground. Ms. Portman continues to support Mr. Obama but fails to point out specifics on how how he has done more for woman than previous administrations. "Ms. Portman is out of touch with policy and votes like many women in the country; one issue voters", says the HCU.
Read what bill? Listen "Hollywood conservative underground" women I know are not "one issue voters but they certainly are not going to give their vote to a party whose members have time and again demonstrated their disdain for women.
ReplyDeleteDo you really need specifics? I got plenty of them. Let me know.
Anonymous - Please tell my readers how conservatives have "disdain for women" as you stated. It's important for my viewers to understand how Liberalism is not a condition but rather a sickness. Ms. Portman represents a very large portion of how the American woman votes. You, like her, have bought into the idea that there is a war against women in the conservative party. This could not be further from the truth. Injecting conservative values into the cultural mainstream is a battle, especially for women’s issues in popular, female-geared media like magazines. Liberal ideology has attracted the female presidential vote—and the female magazine—for years. For most of these crusaders and “women’s issues” comes down to one issue: abortion.
ReplyDeleteLadies, beware: The nanny state has unleashed a rhetorical blitzkrieg, and you are the target. It’s a distracting barrage of reckless claims that belittle women’s intellectual freedom to make up our own minds on the merits of ideas, not spin.,
