A lot of exciting work over here at #MWEG today but first we want to speak to an urgent matter happening within the Georgia elections.

#MWEG leaders and members are very concerned about this news out of #Georgia, especially given the state’s history of disenfranchising African American voters.
Local, state, and federal officials should do all within their power to ensure not only that all citizens have #equal access to the #voting booth but also that #election systems, districting, and #registration are free from any hint of partisan influence.
We encourage our members to make your voice heard (with kindness and civility--the staffers answering the phone work hard and we appreciate them!)
If you have not yet spoken out, this is the time to do so.

"If they believe Judge #Kavanaugh may have committed sexual assault..or if they believe he has lied or deceived the #Senate and the public in his sworn testimony, he should not be confirmed... "

...."Supreme Court justices must be impartial and independent, with a rational and judicious temperament and a commitment to fairness....As the guardian of our laws and defender of government ethics, the Judiciary must remain uncompromised by open and bitter partisanship."
NEW statement out of #MWEG HQ: 
“As the guardian of our laws and defender of government ethics, the Judiciary must remain uncompromised by open and bitter partisanship”

“Members of the Senate have a solemn duty of fairly weighing the available evidence and testimony. If they believe Judge #Kavanaugh may have committed sexual assault then he should not be confirmed.”

"If Judge #Kavanaugh is confirmed without that additional process, that doubt will linger over both him and the legitimacy of the Supreme Court for the duration of his tenure."

"....without further independent investigation, there will always be doubt as to Judge Kavanaugh’s character and judgment. We, therefore, urge the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee to vote against moving this confirmation forward."

@JeffFlake To be clear, this is not a partisan or political issue for us, but an ethical and moral one.
We are comprised of 1000's of women (and growing rapidly this week!), placing ourselves all over the political spectrum.
We urge you to vote no to preserve the integrity of SCOTUS.

Did know the first female Senator in the U.S. was a Mormon woman from Utah? Spoiler: the opponent she beat was her husband!
