Enough is enough. We need to show some appreciation for those Dems who are feeling the wrath of the Tea Party Mob. We also need to hurt Sarah Palin where it hurts, in the pocket book.
I live in Virginia and just called one of Tom Perriello's regional offices to thank the Congressman for his courage in voting for HCR. I told the receptionist that I lived close to his district, I supported him morally and would most certainly donate to his re-election campaign. She seemed surprised and thanked me a couple of times.
Then I wrote my own representative, the smarmy, insurance industry lackey, Eric Cantor. I asked him to stand up to the hate mongers who are trying to intimidate Reps. Perriello, Slaughter, and Weiner, among others.
That all felt good, but I'm steaming furious over Sarah Palin's facebook page which features rifle targets on a US map, pointing out which Dems voted for HCR in "McCain districts". The graphic is militant as is her rhetoric: she says her kind need to "aim for" Democrats who voted for HCR, and this is "just the first salvo in a fight."
This contemptible person is not only inciting violence, but stands to make money off her notoriety. CNN is reporting today that the series "Sarah Palin's Alaska" has been picked up for a reported $1 million-plus per episode by the Discovery Networks.
Since when did Discovery feature such an overtly political figure? AND one who espouses violence? As I told Discovery, my kids and I will no longer watch any Discovery shows if Palin hosts one.
If you feel the same, please let Discovery Networks know.
Please sign this petition to protest Discovery's new show "Sarah Palin's Alaska"

This took me a while to finish so if someone has posted this information in the meantime, I'll take this post down.
Thanks for reading.
