Our celebration of the 90th Anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment giving women the right to vote was a great success! CT-N taped the event and it is being shown on CT-N television on Saturday Aug 28th at 7:32 pm; Sunday Aug 29th at 7:15 am; and Monday Aug 30th at 9:46 am. We had over 50 people attend with our CT candidates speaking: Congressman Joe Courtney, Kevin Lembo – Comptroller candidate, Treasurer Denise Nappier, Majority Leader Denise Merrill – Secretary of the State candidate, State Senator Andrea Stillman and Gary LeBeau, and State Rep Elissa Wright.  With a slide show of the Women’s Suffrage Movement, everyone left better educated about how much women struggled for us to have the right to vote today.

The 90th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote is August 26, 2010.  Come join the CFDW celebration of this anniversary and help kick-off the 2010 Democratic campaign of getting out the women’s vote.
