8. I'm a senior citizen Democratic Slut

who marched in Washington, DC for a woman's right to choose back in early January of 1973, just a few short weeks before Roe v. Wade became the law of the land. It was cold out there and being pelted with garbage and called traitor, whore, and unAmerican doesn't sting any less when the temps are at freezing or below. But here we are having to protest for our rights all over again. This time the fight means we older women MUST stand strong for our younger sisters who don't know what it's like to live in an America where birth control and clean, safe, legal abortion aren't the law of the land. We need to educate but not pontificate. Guide but not gouge. Let's keep on keeping on.

GO SANDRA FLUKE! I voted for you for California State Senate! Sandra is another "limbaugh" Democratic Slut. May we prevail over the land!!
