    When I cast my ballot this fall, I'll be voting for someone I know will advocate for me.

    President Obama gets it. He's fighting for a better future for his girls—and for all young women. That's why he made sure Obamacare will prevent insurance companies from unfairly discriminating against women by charging them more than men for the same coverage. And it's why the first bill he passed was the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, to ensure that we can fight back when we don't receive equal pay for equal work.

    He's got our back—now we have to get his.

    Check out this video about why we have to make our voices heard—from a few people you might recognize!—then pass it along to your friends to make sure every woman knows what's at stake:

    We can help President Obama win this election, but only if we make our voices heard.

    It's up to us make sure every woman we know understands the clear choice in this election—and that they vote.

    The alternative isn't pretty.

    The first step is to start the conversation, and this video is a great way to do that.
