A GREAT idea!!!
I got this today from an old friend. K&R this one, people!


Instead of (in addition to?) us all sending around more emails about
how horrible she is, let's all make a donation to Planned Parenthood.
In Sarah Palin's name.

And here's the good 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. Here's the link to the Planned
Parenthood website:

https://secure.ga0.org/02/pp10000_inhonor

You'll need to fill in the address to let PP know where to send
the "in Sarah Palin's honor" card. I suggest you use the address
for the McCain campaign headquarters, which is:

McCain for President
1235 S. Clark Street
1st Floor
Arlington , VA 22202

PS make sure you use that link above or choose the pulldown of
Donate--Honorary or Memorial Donations, not the regular "Donate
Online"

1. Sounds good, but I have a question. When you donate to a
charity in someone else's name, who gets the tax write-off? If Sarah gets the write-off for all donations made in her name, then count me out.

2. The donor, not the honoree. I think.
Any accountants want to weigh in?

5. Better yet, maybe we can donate to provide free rape evidence gathering kits to Wasilla hospitals. n
