The momentum behind Hillary Clinton's 2016 Bid..and its a BIG one..

Very cool indeed.
This is quite a force that the GOP will be up against & explains why they are out here early to stop the Clinton momentum..
They fear the woman's movement push-back for all the demeaning, degrading attempts to keep them submissive in our modern world.

From Emily's List:

“We want to make sure the assets built by Hillary's supporters, such as a robust social media presence, are not lost when Ready for Hillary shuts down,” spokesman Seth Bringman said. The group plans to cease operations as soon as Clinton enters the race.

While a decision hasn’t been finalized, the group is considering transferring its social media accounts—including a Facebook page with almost 2.2 million likes and a Twitter account with 143,000 followers—to Emily's List. It also aims to go through the complex legal process of transferring its e-mail list of more than 3 million to the official Clinton apparatus.

Talk about single issue voters.... As a woman I find the whole premise absurd.

as to what the GOP, Teaparty, KKKristian Fundys have in store for women, minorities, education, children, homeless, LGBT and it isn't just about a vagina.

The people from Emily's List don't sound like that's all they are about.
They well know the only way to break through the barriers set in place by the GOP & KKKristian Fundys is to gather vote & defeat them, with all they have.
They also know that with a Repub President in 2016 these issues will never recover from the loss handed them by the GOP.

Men are welcome to join in too, Its not an exclusive "vagina" group, as you say.
It has been the GOP inserting their stupid policies in women's lives, and this movement is the fed-up blowback from such ignorance.

That's what it is about.

Those of us who give and bling to are open to a woman candidate. That's why we belong and support.

You may want to take your post to GD perhaps.
Don't know if its allowed here.
I will let the moderator of this group decide that.
Just want to let you know.

I kept looking back here to see if someone had mopped up. Your patience actually surprised me William.

Got to go - Hillary is on.
