In 1916, the National Woman's Party chose to oppose all Democratic congressional candidates on the policy of "holding the party in power responsible" for failure to pass a federal suffrage amendment. President Wilson, who was seeking reelection, advocated for suffrage in New Jersey as a state action. The NWP responded vocally by sending organizers into 12 states to lobby against the Democratic Party candidates. Wilson was reelected in the 1916 elections.]]>

In 1917, the National Woman's Party, founded by Alice Paul, targeted the President and Congress by staging protests at the gates of the White House every day to garner nationwide attention on the suffrage movement and fight for a federal suffrage amendment. The nonviolent protests ultimately led to attacks, arrest, imprisonment and force-feeding of the women. The National American Woman Suffrage Association and its affiliates were vocal in condemning the pickets and demonstrating ongoing support of the government and President Wilson.]]>
