Talk About It.

Meryddian sent me this shirt. Get yours! I Love it. I think it's just jarring enough to start a conversation, and people should be talking. Not about Sarah Palin's gender. But about her politics.

Women Against Sarah Palin. - a big collection of letters and ideas from women who see Palin as a political figure, not an example of womanity.

Why I Will Not Vote for Sarah Palin. - a pertinent post in my new blog at wordpress.

The American economy is crashing today. Sarah Palin's economic decisions of the past include a series of hedging decision in which she approved and revoked a series of immensely wasteful spending measures. She can't make a decision on economic policy because she doesn't understand the economy, government spending, or tax paying. What she does understand is payoffs, including paying Alaskan citizens thousands of dollars per person to accept her destructive drilling plan.

Sarah Palin is destroying the world around her -she supports drilling in the Alaskan Wilderness, which is killing off the local wildlife, and destroying the home and resources of native tribes. She has fought hard - including suing the government! - to keep animals like the Polar Bear and Beluga Whale off the endangered species list. She beliefs in hunting Wolves - from the Air.

She claims to be pro-life, however Sarah Palin loves to hunt, and she does not bat an eye at the Iraq war that has killed thousands of humans, and destroyed the lives of millions more. And though she doesn't believe in abortion, she does not believe in a sex education program that would give teenagers the knowledge to prevent unwanted pregnancies (in fact McCain has voted against requiring abstinence education programs to be scientifically accurate!)

Sarah Palin has fought to ban books promoting tolerance of homosexuals, and her church promotes a gay conversion conference: "Pray Away the Gay." Brain-wash me, please.

There are so many more issues I would like to discuss, but in the interest of brevity, I will only say that I hope everyone is thoroughly investigating the issues most important to them.

I will not vote for someone who is pro-war, anti-choice, anti-gay, anti-environment, and too shortsighted to make decisions that span beyond her lifetime. I will not vote for someone who believes the economy is healthy, simply because the wealthy are still wealthy. I will not vote for someone who vows to take away my rights in the interest of promoting her own religion.

I might be a woman, but I'm voting for my political peer, not my ovarian double.
