Many great youtube videos to watch.

I love this one on Amendment One - "NC Amendment One: The Musical!!" at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXgjqOLMZ7U Includes an appearance from a past president. V cute!

There are some other youtube videos that you should see - they're really short too! Take a look at "What's At Stake - North Carolina 2012" at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAnATOVdK7E. You may also want to see "The GOP War On Women" TV Ad - Rep. Deborah Ross is fabulous - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQenWItvHrE!

And you must see What Every Girl Needs to See (on suffrage) - http://front.moveon.org/a-lady-gaga-parody-every-girl-needs-to-see/ Sorry, I can only find it on moveon now, although I originally had it elsewhere. Many references to Iron Jawed Angels story and documentary. It's a must see too!
