Calling All Women Political Bloggers!

The Political Voices of Women started out as a list of 100 Women Political Bloggers. Today, the list has over 400. Well, 497 to be exact, and we are much more than just a list now. We have 10 contributing editors, a community of almost 70 women, and opportunities for all women bloggers to express their political opinions as guest bloggers.

We are just shy of 500 women political bloggers. It’s my hope to reach 500 by the end of this weekend. And, you can help. I’m hoping to celebrate by publishing the list (100 blogs at a time) each day next week. Help us reach the goal of 500.

Are you a woman who blogs about politics?

Are you on the list?

Do you know a woman blogger who should be on the list?

We just need three more women political bloggers to hit the 500 mark!

So…Check the list, and if someone is missing, please give me their link here in comments.

Stop Talking About Race and Gender — by Catherine Morgan (cross-posted at Care2 Election and The Political Voices of Women)

O.k. - I’m bored with Clinton and Obama going on and on about the “race/gender” non-issue. Voters are going to vote on the actual issues (the economy, the war, healthcare, taxes, etc)…I am sick of hearing them attack each other over twisted words meant to sway voters with race and gender tactics. Just stop it! You too, Main Stream Media! Stop making this an issue, when it is not the least bit important to how these candidates will handle “actual” issues important to the American people. You are wasting critical time. Voters need to hear these candidates talk about what they will do to “heal” our country, not continue to add to the “fracturing” of it. So please…Just Stop It!

Women Political Bloggers: Are You On The List? If not…go here to have your political blog added.

I am pleased to announce that our list of women blogging on politics, has today reached over 300. When I started the list only a few weeks ago I had 100 blogs, and now thanks to so much participation by other women bloggers, we now have 316 women political bloggers on the list.

I would like to take this time to thank some of the many bloggers who have helped grow and promote The Political Voices of Women. Now, in no particular order…

• Today, Dee from Conservatism With Heart not only promoted the blog and our list, but used her post to send me over 25 links of blogs that were not yet on the list…Single-handedly bringing our list to over 300. Thank you Dee. Dee also posts at Grizzly Groundswell.

• Earlier in the week I was honored to be mentioned in an article at The Huffington Post…How cool is that? I did a post about it here, and this is the link to the article by Carol Jenkins.

• Jill Miller of Writes Like She Talks, did a very kind post supporting the list here. Thanks Jill.

• Faye Anderson of Anderson@Large, not only did a nice post promoting the list, but she was also my very first guest blogger at The Political Voices of Women. Thanks Faye.

• And since Faye’s guest post, I have also been lucky enough to have many other women contribute as guest bloggers…

Robin Gerber did a guest post here.

Sue from Nailing Jello to the Wall has done two guest posts…here and here.

Olivia Morgan from Women For Obama did a guest post here.

Sarah at One Mom’s View did a guest post here.

Heather Johnson from Moms4Mitt did a guest post here.

and our most recent guest post is by Julie at Moms Speak Up, and that post is here. Julie also promoted the site here. Thanks Julie.

Thank you to all of these wonderful women blogging on politics.

• Yankee Cowgirl also did a post promoting our list.

• Jenn from Ft. Hard Knox just did a very nice post here.

• Sandy from Around Des Moines just posted about the site, and she also joined our new community and even put a post up there too. Thanks so much Sandy.

• Amy from Georgia Women Vote did a nice post here.

• Mixter’s Mix, Modern English, sairy, Pondering Penguin, Mauigirl’s Meanderings, and opit, all have The Political Voices of Women in it’s blogroll. Thanks.

Thanks to all of these women (and the one man “opit“), for helping to make The Political Voices of Women the “go to” place for women bloggers, and people who want to know what they’re thinking.

I’m sure that I’ve missed many (and for that I’m sorry), so if you have done a post or added me to your blogroll please leave me a link in comments…And the next time I do a thank-you post, I will be sure to include you.

*I hope you will also consider joining our Political Voices of Women Community.

Women’s Media Center Introducing Progressive Women’s Voices — by Catherine Morgan

I was pleasantly surprised today, to find that my political blog “Informed Voters” was receiving incoming links from The Huffington Post. It seems Carol Jenkins wrote a post about women in politics, and my list of over 275 women political bloggers got a nod. As happy as I am about being recognized by The Huffington Post, the overall message of Carol’s post is an extremely important one…

“Don’t let your voice be silent. Let’s change the conversation together.”

The Women’s Media Center has created Progressive Women’s Voices, a new program to change the conversation and ensure that all of our voices are heard. Through this program, the Women’s Media Center will train, brief and support 15 progressive women whose stories and expertise are critically missing from the national debate.

The Women’s Media Center is seeking participants who represent diverse backgrounds, with experience and knowledge of specific subject areas and with strong communication skills which they will help to further develop. Full program details are available here.

We need your help now - to identify these women and give them a chance to receive the training and support they deserve.

So tell us: Who are the great women out there whose voices deserve to be heard, but who are not yet a part of the national dialogue? Leave your suggestions here, and we’ll make sure that the program information gets in their hands.

And if you’re reading this and think that you may be that woman, then let us know. Whether your expertise is war or peace, leadership, climate change, health care, or technology, chances are you follow the news, and realize that progressive women’s voices, like yours, are missing.

One month ago today I started my blog “The Political Voices of Women“, as a spin-off to a list I compiled of women blogging about politics.

Both the list and the blog, were my answer to the question…Where are all the women political bloggers? The list began with 100 women bloggers, and is now at over 250.

If you are a women that is blogging about politics and you are not yet on this list…Please leave your link in comments and I will be happy to add your blog.

And if you have an idea for a guest post, you can email me at…

It’s become a tradition for me to do a “video-recap” of the presidential debates. So, if you didn’t catch the debate (and who could blame you?), but you still want to know what went down….Just go over to Informed Voters and check out my video-recap.

Well…”I DID IT!”

Here is my first ever YouTube video, that I made for the 10 Questions project.

There is only three more days left to vote, so feel free to go over there and show me some love (you don’t even need to register, just click the green thumbs-up).

You can also see my daughter’s video with the above link. If for some reason the links do not work for you. Just go to 10questions.com and do a search for “catherinemarie66″, both videos will come up then. And don’t forget…No registration needed to vote…they won’t even ask for your email address. Thanks so much.

My post for today is to encourage anyone who has a “web cam” and who cares about the issues facing our country…to make a video and submit it as a question for the candidates.

My post for tomorrow will be the videos that me and my daughter submit…we are still in the process of getting them online. I hope you’ll be encouraged to participate as well. 

I hope you’ll check out this post at “The Political Voices of Women“.

Morra is asking everyone to participate in the 10Questions Project. You can either make and submit your own video question, or just go over to the site and vote on your favorite questions. This is a great way for “we the people” to really get involved with this campaign.

Even though I’m camera shy, my daughter was brave enough to ask a video question…and now I decided to make one too. I’ll let you know when we post them…probably later today or tomorrow.

A List of Over 200 Women Blogging on Politics — by Catherine Morgan

All kinds of women, blogging on all kinds of politics. Check-out the updated list here.

I never thought I would get such a huge response for simply putting together a list of great women bloggers, but it’s been a wonderful surprise. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this list, and please continue to send me links to other women blogging about politics…you can add them to the comments here.

My mother sent me an email with a link to this site (Select A Candidate Survey), I think this is GREAT! In this day and age when we are all so busy, and debates tend to be quite boring…Now you can find out in about a minute, what candidate agrees with you most on the issues. I love this idea, and I recommend everyone check it out.

Instead of making your decision on a candidate based on how much money they have to make annoying commercials, or how much attention they are getting in the media…You can just ignore all the political “Bull Sh#t”, and find out who actually would be the best candidate for you, based on the issues that matter most to you.

Go HERE and give it a try. Can’t hurt?
