Kal Penn: Women's and LGBT rights 'no brainer' issues for youth voters
Actor and activist Kal Penn joins Jennifer Granholm on The War Room to talk about harnessing the power of the Millennial generation and unleashing the youth vote though education about voting rights and action at the polls. Penn says younger voters are concerned about war veterans and education funding, and will be able to draw clear distinctions between Obama's actions and Romney's plans.

Church is on the wrong side of contraception fight
Political reporter Carla Marinucci and strategist Susan Kennedy talk about the lawsuit the Catholic Church lobbed at the Obama administration over contraception. Marinucci says the issue is so basic to Catholic women and all women, who will be reminded of the war on women. "The Republicans have associated themselves with the contraception issue," says Kennedy, so the choice for voters will be clear.

President Obama at the 2012 Women's Leadership Forum
Join Women for Obama: my.barackobama.com Hello everybody, It's fair to say that there's been a bit of talk of women and women's issues so far this year. And I've said before, I want to repeat, I think it's been oversimplified, women are not an interest group. Women shouldn't be treated that way. Women are half this country and half of its workforce. Your 80% of my household if you count my mother-in-law and I always count my mother-in-law. So I got a vested interest in making sure we do well. As a father, the highlight of everyday for me is asking my daughters about theirs. Their hopes and their futures it's what drives me every single day when I step into the White House. Every decision I make is all about ensuring that all of our daughters and all of our sons grow up in a country that gives them the equal chance to be anything they set their minds to. A country where more doors are open to them than were open to us. When women make less than men for the same work that hurts families who have to get by with less and businesses who have fewer customers who can spend money there. When the job doesn't offer family leave to care for a new baby or sick leave to care for an ailing parent --that burns all of us, it's not just a women's issue. When any of our citizens can't fulfill there potential because of factors that had nothing to do with their talent or character or work ethic --that diminishes us as a country. It says something about who we are as Americans. Let's look at ... From: BarackObamadotcom Views: 3324 167 ratings Time: 04:11 More in News & Politics

Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Action Fund, supports President Obama
Join Women for Obama: my.barackobama.com Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Action Fund, supports President Obama because he believes in women and trusts women to make responsible decisions. She notes the strong contrast between the positions of President Obama and the Republican party leadership who seem to want to put government in between women and their doctors. As Cecile Richards shares: "I think the thing that disturbed me, and really frankly hundreds of thousands of women who have contacted us since MItt Romney said he was going to get rid of Planned Parenthood, is that he's putting politics ahead of women's health care access. Most of the women who come to planned parenthood come because they need preventive care access. They need access to affordable birth control, life saving cancer screenings, and the kind of care we provide. For women their health care doesn't come with a political label. The fact that we're actually having a fight in this country about whether women should have access to birth control is extraordinary. And so it's been wonderful to have President Obama as a champion for access to health care for all women in this country."

Letters to the President: The Dreams of Our Daughters
Are you in? my.barackobama.com Dear President Obama, I'm a mother of two young daughters: Daisy is six and Caroline is almost ten. My six-year-old would like to be a doctor for dolphins and my ten-year-old dreams of becoming a jet fighter pilot. Caroline is so committed to her dream that she sets her alarm at 5:00 every morning so she'll be prepared for her military service. I love that my daughters dream so big and see no limits to their future. Watching their dreams unfold everyday is one of the unique pleasures of being a mom. It is upsetting to me that in 2012 the use of birth control has become controversial. Birth control isn't just for family planning, it's preventative care and treatment, it's medication that most women need and use at some point in their lives. And it is as common in a woman's medicine cabinet as cough medicine. Beyond that it's a woman's right to make decisions about her own body and her own life. This is just one reason I'm so passionate about getting you re-elected this year. We need a President who will stand up for women's health and stay focused on jobs and economic recovery. The dreams of all our daughters are at stake. And they're counting on us to fight for them.

And now it's time for us to stand up for him. So I hope that you'll come to this year's conference to learn more about how you can lead the way. I know that Barack is looking forward to being at this year's conference and I'm counting on you to show him that women across America are fired up for 2012 as he is.
