In Palin's honour--the woman who charged rape victims for their rape kits

Dear Friends,

We may have thought we wanted a woman on a nationalpolitical ticket, but the joke has really been on us,hasn't it? Are you as sick in your stomach as I am atthe thought of Sarah Palin as Vice President of the United States? Since Palin gave her speech accepting theRepublican nomination for the Vice Presidency, BarackObama's campaign has raised over $10 million dollars. Some of you may already be supporting the Obama campaignfinancially -- but want to do more -- anything.

Iam horrified by Palin's selection, furious, andfrightened by it for many reasons, one of which is herposition on women's issues. May I pass along the following fiendishly brilliant idea? Make a donation to Planned Parenthood. Of anyamount, in Sarah Palin's name. Here's the bestpart: when you make a donation to PP in her name, they'll send her a card telling her that the donationhas been made in her honor. It won't change the election but it will support an important organization andit will make women's voices heard. (And even if thiswas cooked up by a PP person -- I don't care!)

Here's the link to the Planned Parenthood website: http://www.plannedparenthood.org./ You'll need to check "make honorary or memorial gift," and fill in the name of the person you want to "honor," i.e. Palin. Fill in the address to let PPknow where to send the "in Sarah Palin'shonor" card. If you use the address for the McCain campaign headquarters, they'll get the message.
