*WOMEN LEADERS FOR CHANGE*
Hundreds of National Women Leaders Endorse Barack Obama
This week, the Obama campaign announced the support of hundreds of national
women leaders. Endorsements came from business leaders, advocates, astronauts,
athletes, former governors and cabinet secretaries.
The support of these accomplished women demonstrates the depth and breadth of
support for Barack Obama and how his message of change is resonating with women
across the country.
"Change has never been easy, it's always been hard-fought with bumps and
bruises along the way, but these women leaders have had the tenacity to charge
on.
"I am honored to have the support of such remarkable women who have broken down
barriers and paved the way for change for my daughters and generations of
women. In accepting their support I also accept the great responsibility to
carry the torch by advancing women's rights and bringing the change women
need," said Barack Obama.
"For every Sally Ride, Tory Burch, or Billie Jean King, there are hundreds of
young women out there whose dreams seem a little more possible. As president, I
will work to safeguard and support those dreams for my daughters and future
generations of Americans through policies that further opportunity for all."

Endorsement of the American Nurses Association
SILVER SPRING, MD -- The American Nurses Association (ANA) announces its
endorsement of Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) in the 2008 Presidential Election.
The ANA represents the interests of the nation's 2.9 million registered nurses.
"As President, Barack Obama will bring real change to our health care system,"
said ANA President Rebecca M. Patton, MSN, RN, CNOR. "Nurses are consistently
voted the most trusted profession by the American people, and we, as a
profession, trust that Barack Obama will see that affordable quality health
care is made available to everyone."
"I am honored to receive the endorsement of the American Nurses Association,"
said Sen. Barack Obama. "The nurses of America serve our country tirelessly,
and I share their belief that we must bring affordable and accessible health
care to all Americans. My plan lowers health care costs for the average
American family by up to $2500 and finally makes health care work better for
American families than it does for the drug and insurance companies."
