WHAT IS EMILY'S LIST

The name EMILY's List is an acronym for "Early Money Is Like Yeast," from the common political saying, "Early money is like yeast, because it helps to raise the dough."

A common misconception among the public is that the organisation was named after a woman named Emily.

The saying is a reference to a convention of political fundraising: that receiving lots of donations early in a race is helpful in scaring off challengers and attracting other, later donors.

WHAT THEY STAND FOR

EMILY's List members and the candidates they support are:

Pro-Choice
Pro-Equity
Pro-Childcare
Pro-Equal Pay and
Pro-Diversity

EMILY's List members and candidates must support in the community, and in Parliament, the principles of equity, diversity, pro-choice, and the provision of equal pay and childcare.

These women, including several so-called 'Catholics', have sold their souls in return for political favours.  Interestingly, many do not openly advertise their membership of Emily's List, possibly because of their Christian heritage.
