best idea ever

The following message was forwarded to me this morning. I acted on it and I hope you will too. Why? Because protest is good, and hilarious protest that supports great organizations is even better.

Subject: FW: Best Idea Ever!

Dear Friends, We may have thought we wanted a woman on a national political ticket, but the joke may have been on us. Are you frightened as I am by Palin's position on women's issues? May I pass along the following fiendishly brilliant idea?

Make a donation to Planned Parenthood. Of any amount, in Sarah Palin's name. Here's the best 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. It won't change the election but it will support an important organization and it will make women's voices heard. Here's the link to the Planned Parenthood website:

http://www.plannedparenthood.org/

You'll need to check 'make honorary or memorial gift,' and fill in the name of the person you want to 'honor,' i.e. Palin. Fill in the address to let PP know where to send the 'in Sarah Palin's honor' card. If you use the address for the McCain campaign headquarters, they'll get the message.

McCain's headquarters address:

McCain for President
John McCain 2008
P.O. Box 16118
Arlington, VA 22215

Please free to send this along to all your women -- and men friends and urge them to do the same.
