Women Against Sarah Palin

I recently came across this blog from a co-worker. I just felt the need to share.

From the blog creator:

“Friends –

We are writing to you because of the fury and dread we have felt since the announcement of Sarah Palin as the Vice-Presidential candidate for the Republican Party. We believe that this terrible decision has surpassed mere partisanship, and that it is a dangerous farce on the part of a pandering and rudderless Presidential candidate that has a real possibility of becoming fact.

Perhaps like us, as American women, you share the fear of what Ms. Palin and her professed beliefs and proven record could lead to for ourselves and for our present or future daughters. To date, she is against sex education, birth control, the pro-choice platform, environmental protection, alternative energy development, freedom of speech (as mayor she wanted to ban books and attempted to fire the librarian who stood against her), gun control, the separation of church and state, and polar bears. To say nothing of her complete lack of real preparation to become the second-most-powerful person on the planet.

We want to clarify that we are not against Sarah Palin as a woman, a mother, or, for that matter, a parent of a pregnant teenager, but solely as a rash, incompetent, and all together devastating choice for Vice-President.

Ms. Palin’s political views are in every way a slap in the face to the accomplishments that our mothers and grandmothers and great-grandmothers so fiercely fought for, and that we’ve so demonstrably benefited from.

First and foremost, Ms. Palin does not represent us. She does not demonstrate or uphold our interests as American women. It is presumed that the inclusion of a woman on the Republican ticket could win over women voters. We want to disagree, publicly.

Therefore, we invite you to reply here with a short, succinct message about why you, as a woman living in this country, do not support this candidate as second-in-command for our nation.

Please include your name (last initial is fine), age, and place of residence.

We will post your responses on a blog called “Women Against Sarah Palin,” which we intend to publicize as widely as possible. Please send us your reply at your earliest convenience.

The greater the volume of responses we receive, the stronger our message will be.

Thank you for your time and action.

VIVA!

Sincerely,

Quinn Latimer and Lyra Kilston

Reading this blog is amazing, and I couldn’t agree more with the women who wrote in.

How many women died through self inflicted or botched back room abortions because they didn’t have the right to choose? Women who made agonizing choices, women who have been raped, victims of incest, women in poor health, or poor women who already have too many mouths to feed. How many women fought year after year to give us this right? Shouldn’t this be a personal decision? It the daughters of future generations who will pay the price if Roe v Wade is reversed and they will have us to thank.

As environment conscious citizens are fighting to protect what is left of our natural resources and the health of our planet for ourselves and future generations, do we need someone in the White House who only sees a way out of this overindulgent, immediate gratification centered mess by continuing to decimate protected lands and deplete our nonrenewable resources?

Given the age of the Republican Party’s nominee for president, are we willing to risk the chance that Sarah Palin may very will one day assume the power as the leader of the most powerful country in the world?

Sarah Palin does not speak for me. I am willing to fight for my hard earned rights as a woman, and as a citizen of the United States of America.

BWAHAHHA!! I gave her a scathing review, and called her a creationist ostrich.

It popped up on google.com

Sadly, it sank like a stone.

Quinn is a friend of mine, and she totally rocks.

Hope your thread has better legs :)

Kickin'! Thanks for posting it.
