A group of female Hollywood actresses released a new Michael Bloomberg financed campaign ad this week urging women to vote in the upcoming midterm elections in favor of several left-wing policies.
The, titled “Because It Matters,” is directed by Oscar-winning director Jodie Foster and stars actresses and singers such as Julianne Moore, Tea Leoni, Cher, Sophia Bush, Ellen Pompeo, Constance Wu, and Lily Tomlin.
Transgender film star Laverne Cox, who identifies as a woman, is also featured in the video.
The video begins with actress Leoni asking: “If somebody asked you: what do you care about? What would you say?”
Participants then go on to list a number of matters they believe are important, such as freedom of speech, freedom of the press, healthcare, women’s rights, and allowing illegal immigration.
“Get out and vote,” Foster says in a voice over. “It matters.”
“Women across the country have concerns and strong points of view and they can make a difference by going to the polls on November 6th,” Foster said about her involvement in the project. “We hope that this campaign, featuring familiar faces in the entertainment industry, will inspire others to share their views and more importantly take action on Election Day. It really matters.”

It really matters.”
Although none of the participants explicitly urge people to vote Democrat, all of them are from left-leaning or progressive backgrounds. In a press release, Michael Bloomberg, who financed the ad, acknowledged that females were far more likely to vote Democrat than their male counterparts.
“The good news is that more women are running than ever before, and female voters overwhelmingly support Democratic candidates for the House and Senate,” Bloomberg said. “The polls suggest a gender gap in voting larger than any time since the 1950s. But this election will be decided by turnout and getting people to cast their ballots.”
In an interview with CNN on Monday, the billionaire, who recently re-registered as a Democrat, blamed Trump for the recent violent attacks in Pittsburgh and against high-level Democratic politicians. As such, the billionaire has pumped over $110 million into supporting Democratic campaigns across the country.
“When he goes around getting people to scream and hate, bad things happen and you saw the results here,” he said. [The President] should be unifying, and instead he is exciting people, inciting people.”

There are laws in the US about equal coverage for candidates, but I don't know if that applies for "straight news reporting".

The lower house (the House of Representatives) has 435 seats representing districts of equal populations (according to the most recent census in 2010), all of which are up for election every two years. The upper house (the Senate) has 100 seats (two for each state), a third of which are up for election every two years. (Senators' terms are six years long, but their elections are staggered, so they can't all be replaced at once). These elections are called midterm elections because they take place in the middle of the president's four-year term.
For people non-familiar with the US election system , what is the election for ?

Menendez is in big trouble in New Jersey. The race is neck and neck now. His scandals might sink him, especially to his opponent, who is a former marine and a businessman, so its' a battle of a bad brand vs. a good one.
If you're in New Jersey, get out there. This might be the most surprising pickup and would damage the left's psyche a lot.

I'm not even going to try to work on Monday. Everything is going to be fucked up. I'm taking Monday and Tuesday off. Tuesday will be fun, going to the local polling place (probably the Granpa down the street who always hosts the polls in his garage, and has hot cider). Voting NO on all the California initiatives, and voting 100% republican without even bothering to read the bios. I was never in my life this party loyal.
Tonight I'm saying a prayer: "DEAR LORD...please let me see Don Lemon on CNN cry like a fucking baby on Tuesday night. Let me hear the wails of grief from the fat pink-hatted feminists. Let me have the satisfaction of flashing them a big angry bird from my car window. thank you dear lord. Amen."
