  3. What is our ultimate goal, and how do we achieve it?

  4. v Persuasion is a key part of our “Voter Contact Phase”

  5. Strong support among Women is critical to our success nationwide Women consistently represent a majority of the electorate Support among Women dropped significantly in 2010 Women as % of the electorate Democratic support among Women Source: CNN 2004 and 2008 National Presidential Exit Polls, CNN 2006 and 2010 National Congressional Exit Polls

  6. Health Care Reform is a central point of confusion for Persuadable Voters and women So far, would you say you and your family have personally benefited from the health reform law, or not? 85% 11% Sample: n= 1,209 adults Source: Kaiser Family Foundation Health Tracking Poll, November 2011

  7. Voters are uninformed about the Affordable Care Act Do you feel you have enough information about the health reform law to understand how it will impact you personally, or not? 55% No 44% Yes Sample: n= 1,209 adults Source: Kaiser Family Foundation Health Tracking Poll, November 2011

Which are you most interested in hearing what they have to say, choosing your top two: [Multiple Response] Preferred Source of Information Women like yourself Your husband or other men in your life Teachers Your local newspaper Your minister or pastor Michelle Obama Firefighters and police officer Nurses Ann Romney None *All figures on this slide are only of women respondents

  10. The Challenges We Face: • What is most intimidating about persuasion calls to other women? • What has worked as you’ve engaged friends and neighbors in persuasive conversations?

  11. Typical Approaches to Challenging Persuasion Calls

  12. v Our Health Care Message is based on the President’s Middle Class Values • The President believes • Affordable health insurance you can rely on is part of the middle class bargain • Americans who work hard and pay their premiums should have the security that comes with good health care Contrast: President Obama refuses to go back to the days when health insurance companies had unchecked power.He’ll continue to stand up to Republicans working to take away benefits and protections that are already helping millions of Americans.

  13. Women are most persuaded when we emphasize benefits that are life-stage specific. Which benefit you? • Free preventive services in Medicare – like mammograms, colonoscopies, and free annual wellness visits with your doctor • Closing the “doughnut hole” • No more charging women more than men • No more caps on the amount of care covered • Insurance companies can’t cancel your insurance because of small mistakes in your paperwork • Free preventive services like birth control pills and cancer screenings • No more caps on the amount of care covered • No discriminating against women with pre-existing conditions • Remain on parents’ health insurance until age 26 • No more charging women more than men

  14. There are four steps to having a meaningful conversation tapping into shared values and related POTUS accomplishments • Acknowledge and relate: Validate the voter’s concern. Listen to the voter and find common ground on things they care about. This is a chance to use an aspect of your personal story. • Values: Bring the conversation to the value that you share with the President, and connect that value to the voter’s issues and interest • Pivot to Accomplishments: Shift to a POTUS accomplishment that impacts the voter and links to the values discussed above • Contrast: Draw the appropriate contrast with the Republican candidates on those values or issues– what would happen if Republicans gained office?
