Armed with pink protest placards and at least one baby strapped to her mom’s chest, a rowdy, ragtag team of conservative women made its way through the streets of Denver, Colo. to the state Capitol in May for a sign waving and car honking good time. Consider it a new media public service announcement for a constituency previously reluctant to engage in in-your-face political combat.

 

“Mothers in love with fracking,” read the sign of Amy Oliver Cooke, a local radio personality and founder of Mothers Against Debt. “I’m not Julia,” proclaimed several others, a reference to a recent campaign video popping up on President Obama’s campaign website, explaining how his “policies help one woman over her lifetime—and how Mitt Romney would change her story.”

 

At first glance, this boisterous band might appear to be the tea party reinventing itself after that group’s pro-freedom message got bogged down in its radicalized reputation. But these women were not seasoned tea partiers. For many of them, it was the first time they’ve jumped into the political arena. Their pitch is clear: engage women in the philosophy that they can live free from government, not just through government as a babysitter.
