Team Obama has prepared a major push to reach out to women voters this month, culminating at the end in what they are calling “Women’s Week of Action,” reports the New York Times. Various efforts will center around the health care law and what it means for women, coinciding with the two-year anniversary of the signing of health care reform.

Through the month, ending with what the campaign’s headquarters has designated a “Women’s Week of Action,” campaign field offices will organize phone banks, campus activities, house parties and media events featuring local residents helped by the law, officials say…

 

Women were 53 percent of the national vote in 2008, and given Mr. Obama’s and his party’s continuing weakness among white men, they are crucial to his re-election.
