Subject: Fwd: A Rare Endorsement
FYI, The National Organization for Women has endorsed the Obama-Biden ticket
for just the reasons listed below. They usually do not endorse, but in
this case believed it was absolutely necessary to take a stand. If you agree, please pass this on.
If you don't agree, please think about what it says.
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, 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 descendents. To date, she is against sex education, birth
control, the pro-choice platform, environmental protection, alternative
energy development, freedom of speech, 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 - (and possibly first)- 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 altogether 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 from which we've so demonstrably benefited.
First and foremost, Ms. Palin does not represent us. She does not demonstrate or
uphold our interests of American women or American citizens. It is presumed that the
inclusion of a woman on the Republican ticket could win over women voters.
We want to disagree, publicly. If you agree that Palin is an irresponsible, even dangerous,choice for VP, please consider participating in this drive. Gentlemen,
send this to the women you know and care for. I know it's tough to understand the way this choice is impacting women, but I have never seen so many women so
outraged, angry and distraught in my entire life. We'd like our voices heard.
