Part of Campaign to Mobilize Voters to “Ask Mitt”
Washington, DC — Today, Planned Parenthood Action Fund and Planned Parenthood Votes announced they will paint Denver pink in the days leading up the first presidential debate. The Action Fund will hold a rally in Denver on Tuesday and Planned Parenthood Votes will run a series of ads targeting Colorado voters spanning TV, mobile, and online. The blitz is part of a wide, sweeping campaign to mobilize voters to “Ask Mitt” about his domestic policy positions, which would have real consequences for women, women’s health and women’s economic security.
The centerpiece of the campaign is “Ask Mitt” — an online voter engagement campaign that has already generated thousands of submissions via twitter and through the website http://www.ask-mitt.com. In the days leading up to the debate, supporters are being asked to vote for their favorite “Ask Mitt” questions (top five below).
Additionally, the groups are rolling out the following in Denver:
- an Action Fund “Ask Mitt” rally for women’s health on Tuesday, October 2, with Planned Parenthood Action Fund president, Cecile Richards;
