During the Obama campaign, whenever the Hillary or Republican campaigns resorted to smears and distortions, we responded with our pocketbooks. It was stunningly effective, and Obama's campaign never lacked the funding needed to counter them. A veritable army of small donors did something unprecedented: we made it so that his opponents vile political tactics became the cause of their defeat.
Not to equate what happened in the campaign to a terrorist assassination, mind you, but I think we should respond in a similar manner in this awful murderous case. I think we should donate to pro-choice groups, Planned Parenthood, the National Abortion Federation, to local clinics, to any group that provides health care and choices for women.

Here's the link to donate to Planned Parenthood if you're interested:

Thanks to Meteor Blades for suggesting the National Abortion Federation as well, which lists 31 Ways to Get Involved with Choice issues, a very good list of specific, simple ways for you to take action. You can find out more/donate to them here:
National Abortion Federation
Let's not let the radical anti-abortion movement get away with this, because there's no better way to defeat their terrorism than to assure that every women's choice opition in America is well known and fully funded.
