MomsRising members have been gearing up for this debate and have sent vice presidential debate moderator, Gwen Ifill, nearly 20,000 requests to include family issues--like healthcare, fair pay, early learning/childcare, paid sick days, and more--in her questions. Help track and tally which of our questions get asked, what issues get addressed, and where the candidates stand.

Forward this email so other folks can play Debate Bingo too. Help build a movement of people who demand that candidates speak to the issues, and don’t get a free pass.

We'll be sharing the bingo tallies with the media and candidates to let them know that moms are paying attention, moms vote, and our issues must stay front and center.

With the headlines about our economy looking like something that should appear only on Halloween, now more than ever we need candidates to focus on the issues of families who aren’t on Wall Street. Join in the movement, play Bingo with kids, tally the debate with Bingo points, then share your bingo tallies online (see link below).

There are two easy steps to playing MomsRising Debate Bingo:

1. Get & print out your MomsRising Debate Bingo card here:

2. Share your bingo tallies & thoughts after you watch the debate at this link: http://www.momsrising.org/VPdebatebingo

A massive number of moms playing Bingo & sharing scores shows the candidates and the media that real people are paying attention to--and tallying!--where they stand on family-friendly issues. And thus, playing something as fun as bingo will help remind the candidates to keep (or put) family issues as a top priority--while also alerting the media that moms are paying attention.

Here's How it Works: Just download the MomsRising Debate Bingo card from the easy link above, watch the vice presidential debate tomorrow night, Thursday, October 2nd at 6pmPDT/7pmMDT/8pmCDT/9pmEDT, score the speech on our MomsRising Bingo card, and report back your bingo scores on the "Share" MomsRising website link above.

Who scores better for moms: Palin or Biden? Do tell!
