Sarah Palin/Planned Parenthood

[Dar]

Got this email today, and thought it was worth sharing. I have a friend who works for PP in Rochester and she said that as a result of this email. PP has received over $700,000 in donations in Sarah Palin's name. LOL


Dear Friends:

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 f ollowing fiendish alternative?


Make a donation to Planned Parenthood -- in Sarah Palin's name. A Planned Parenthood donation is tax deductible, whereas 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 to the 'honorary gifts' page at Planned Parenthood's website:
https://secure.ga0.org/02/pp10000_inhonor



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 women friends as well as your men friends and urge them to do the same!

Hey Dar, you are obviously passionate about this issue, and I thought you were apolitical. You go girlfriend.:D

[hoops]

Dar,
i don't know who came up with this idea, but if is weren't so funny, it would almost be diabolical. i know people who donate will do so because they believe in the cause and it really has nothing to do with Sarah Palin, but i can just see her face opening up letter after letter thanking her for her donation...we need someone with a camera there.

Make a donation to Planned Parenthood -- in Sarah Palin's name.
Alternatively, make the donation in Sarah Palin's daughter's name! :rolleyes:

I just made a donation but did not have them send acknowledgment to Sarah Palin, why waste PP's $ on postage. There is a screen with a donation receipt you can print after the donation and I also printed the screen showing who I'm honoring with the donation.....could be suitable for framing!
