This idea was passed on to me by a colleague, so I can't claim to have been the originator of it, but it's a great idea.
It's clear that Sarah Palin, despite her status as a "vagina-American" (to quote Samantha Bee), stands against women's rights in every conceivable way: against reproductive choice, against equal pay for equal work. The fruits of her irrational belief in abstinence education are gestating away within her own family (although, in contrast with other families in similar situations, her daughter and future son-in-law will always find themselves buffered from the hard knocks that premature parenting can bring.
What's a great way to show Sarah Palin that smart women find her abhorrent, and to do a good thing at the same time?
My colleague came up with the idea of asking her friends to make a donation to Planned Parenthood in ironic "honor" of Sarah Palin, and having the "thank-you" card sent to McCain Headquarters.
Here's how to do it, if you're interested:
Here's the link to the Planned Parenthood website:
https://secure.ga0.org/...
Be sure to use the pulldown menu for Honorary or Memorial Donations, rather than just 'Donate Online'.
You'll need to fill in the address to let PP know where to send the 'in Sarah Palin's honor' card. Use the address for the McCain campaign
headquarters, which is:
McCain for President
1235 S. Clark Street
1st Floor
Arlington , VA 22202
Sarah Palin will receive a nice thank-you note from an agency that she can't stand, for each and every donation made in her "honor." And you'll have the great feeling that comes from supporting choices for women and loving families for planned offspring!
