Palin for Planned Parenthood

A friend sent me this funny email:

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 to 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 fiendishly brilliant alternative?

Make a donation to Planned Parenthood -- in Sarah Palin's name.
A Planned Parenthood donation is tax deductible, where a political donation isn't.
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: (go to Donate, then Honorary Gifts.)

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

Despite having poisonous stingers, they are known to be shy and
non-threatening when in large schools. The population in the

Amy Goodman, host of the independent news program "Democracy Now!," was among hundreds who were arrested in St. Paul Minnesota today. Also detained were Goodman's producers, Sharif Abdel Kouddous and Nicole Salazar. The three were covering the protests at the Republican National Convention, but the Minneapolis Police Department charged them with conspiracy to riot.

"I was down on the convention floor interviewing delegates when I heard that two of our producers had been arrested," said Goodman. "I ran down to Jackson and 7th Street, where the police had moved in."
Goodman said that when she ran up to find out what was going on, she was also arrested. "They seriously manhandled me and handcuffed my hands behind my back. The top ID [at the convention] is to get on the floor and the Secret Service ripped that off me. I had my Democracy Now! ID too. I was clearly a reporter."

Goodman, who was released after being charged with a misdemeanor, said that Salazar had been hurt in the face, while Kouddous had been thrown up against a wall and hurt his elbow.

"Nicole told me that as they moved in on three sides, she asked them 'How do I get away from this?' and they jumped on her."
