Former State Representative Laura Brod (New Prague) made the national Hot Air blog this morning with an interesting post about how the left keeps women in a "little glass box" in the way they choose to endorse female candidates.

The post echos the sentiment of my July blog post:  The Most Important PAC in Minnesota (for Conservatives) where I praised the VOICES of Conservative Women group based here in Minnesota.  From that piece:

There's great irony in the fact that the liberal-feminist agenda requires women be so rigidly defined in the political world by one single issue.  It's time to move on, it's time to grow up, it's time to move into the 21st century and understand that our equality hinges upon judging women by our individual minds not our common biological anatomy.   

There are hard-working, young conservative women ready to change the status quo.  Put some big bucks behind that sort of talent and you can be assured that the women winning in Minnesota elections will be conservative ones.

Seems that the big bucks are rolling in....as one single donor gave the PAC $25,000 earlier this month with the promise of $20,000 more should an additonal $10,000 be raised.  There are Minnesota CEO's and high-profile donors whose interest has been piqued by the PAC and I'm confident VOICES will make this goal.  (Did I mention they had more cash-on-hand, as of the last campaign finance report, than the long-established Women Winning of the left?)

Politics in Minnesota did a nice profile on the group a couple of weeks ago.

I happened to run into Senator Rudy Boschwitz and his wife Ellen about a month ago at the Minnetonka Byerlys and mentioned VOICES, Ellen donated to the PAC on the spot.  There is big buzz with this PAC and it will need to have key wins this election cycle in order to be sustainable for the long run.

In the small sorority that is elected Republican women in Minnesota, Rep Brod is most certainly a leader.  I look forward to her ideas about how to help enlarge that circle because there's no doubt that we need to grow the sisterhood.

Disclosure:  I'm a donor to the VOICES of Conservative Women PAC  If you'd like to help VOICES make their fundraising goal, contribute today.
