Today the Women Democratic Senators unveiled their 'Checklist for Change' agenda. Tonight all nine women Democratic Senators will be featured on CNN's Larry King Live, which will air at 9 ET.

At today's launch at the historic Sewall-Belmont House Senator Milkulski described their motivation for their list:

Day after day, this Republican Congress is failing America. We've been in session for 76 days and Republicans have squandered time, opportunity and taxpayers' money. We challenge Senate Majority Leader Frist to bring real issues to the floor instead of detouring the Senate with bills that focus on re-electing Republicans. We need to get Senate back on track. There are only 33 legislative days left in session to shift the focus to get something done.
The Checklist for Change includes:


* Safeguard America's Pensions
* Keep Good Jobs in America
* Make College Affordable for All
* Protect America and Our Military Families
* Prepare for Future Disasters
* Make America Energy Independent
* Make Small Business Health Care Affordable
* Invest in Life-Saving Science
* Protect Our Air, Land and Water

1. Wow, what whacked-out ideas!

And while these gals are discussing trivialities like this, who is going to be protecting marriage, and making sure someone isn't burning a flag somewhere?

Such sensible things.

"Governor Dean spent spoke with members of the DNC's Women's Caucus Members and Federation of Democratic Women during a nation-wide conference call this afternoon.

Before opening up the call to questions, Governor Dean spoke about the importance of keeping women involved in the political process, especially during midterm elections when stemming the tide of drop-off voters, or registered voters who skip midterm elections and only vote during presidential races, becomes critical.

Governor Dean spoke about some of the slew of critical races where women are running for election including congressional candidates Kirsten Gillibrand (NY), Tammy Duckworth (IL), Darcy Burner (WA), Patricia Madrid (NM),Phyllis Busansky (FL), and Senate candidates Claire McCaskill (MO), Barbara Radnofsky (TX), and Amy Klobuchar (MN) - just to name a few."
