Welcome, friends. The purpose of this regular series is to promote enthusiasm and action among Daily Kos members. Romney will very likely out-fundraise President Obama. However, we believe that we can still win if (1) we can remain competitive financially, and (2) we volunteer our time and energy (GOTV, canvassing, phonebanking, LTE, ...).

"Romney would definitely drag us back"
Today, Obama for America released a new TV ad, "Important," which features two women explaining their concerns regarding Mitt Romney's attacks on Planned Parenthood:
"I'm Barack Obama, and I approve this message..."
Dawn: "I think Mitt Romney's really out of touch with the average woman's health issues..."
Alex: "This is not the 1950s. Contraception is so important to women... It's about a woman being able to make decisions..."
Dawn "I don't remember anyone as extreme as Romney."
Mitt Romney: "I'll cut off funding to Planned Parenthood."
Alex: "I don't think Mitt Romney can even understand the mindset of someone who has to go to Planned Parenthood."
Mitt Romney: "Planned Parenthood... We're going to get rid of that."
Dawn: "I think Romney would definitely drag us back."
Using Romney's own words against him, this scathing ad signals the Obama campaign's determination to continue highlighting Romney's involvement in the war that the GOP has been waging on women. The ad also provides an opportunity for viewers to find out the President's stances on various women's issues:
