a viral email, believe me I don't do this very often

We interupt this regularly scheduled blog to bring you this very important message.   You well know that I NEVER do this, but this is a BRILLIANT way of making a statement of your dissatisfaction with the current Republican ticket as well as a way to support a cause which all women should be supportive of, especially in these perilous times, Planned Parenthood. Read on:   We may have thought we wanted a woman on a national political ticket, but the joke has really been on us, hasn't it?  Are you as sick in your stomach as I am at the thought of Sarah Palin as Vice President of the United States? Since Palin gave her speech accepting the Republican nomination for the Vice Presidency, Barack Obama's campaign has raised over $10 million dollars. Some of you may already be supporting the Obama campaign financially; others of you may still be a little honked off over the primaries.  None of you, however, can be happy with Palin's selection, especially on her positions on women's  issues.  So, if you feel you can't support the Obama campaign financially, may I suggest the following brilliant alternative? Make a donation to Planned Parenthood.  In Sarah Palin's name.  And here's the good part:  when you make a donation to PP in her name, they'll send her a card telling her that the donation has been made in her honor.  Here's the link to the Planned Parenthood website: http://www.plannedparenthood.org/ You'll need to fill in the address to let PP know where to send the "in Sarah Palin's honor" card. I suggest you use the address for the McCain campaign headquarters, which is: McCain for President 1235 S. Clark Street 1st Floor Arlington, VA 22202 Feel free to send this along to all your friends and urge them to do the same.   Stepping off soapbox now, we return you to your scheduled programming.
