It terrifies me to think that after 40 years of working for women's right, after the years that Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony struggled so women could vote, after the marches, the Pentagon women going to jail, and the untold numbers who in their way made women's lives better, that any intelligent person could think Sarah Palin represents the end result, the promise of our historic struggle is unbelievable. She is a throw back, an anachronism, and an insult.

Don't be fooled by her gender and vote for her just because she's a woman. She is a mockery of women, who represents all that millions of women have struggled against,including a woman's right to choose. As mayor of Wasilla, rape victims were required to pay up to $1,200 for the cost of processing the police evidence (called "rape kits") in their cases.

She is homophobic, anti science , an enemy of our precious natural world, shooting wolves, refusing the polar bear protection in this endangered time, denying global warming is caused by humans. She supports oil and natural gas drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife refuge.

On library books she doesn't like:
"What would your response be if I asked you to remove some books from the collection?"
--October 1996 conversation with librarian Mary Ellen Emmons, Anchorage Daily News

Please be outraged with me. McCain has played a dirty trick on us--dont get fooled.
register at least one person to vote--take them to the polls if necessary

Santayana was right--"Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it." For many now history is the limited present represented by tv, media, movie stars, computers. They are without a sense of history, especially women's history. we are way past 1984, but people are too caught in big brother to even know they are not free. freedom is not a marketing decision. Get involved in whatever way you feel comfortable. Work for freedom. For hope. For change. Fight like hell for the living--you know who said that!!
