Planned Parenthood gains from Palin e-mail campaign (http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2008/sep/23/palin-opponents-shower-donations-planned-parenthoo/)
Planned Parenthood is suddenly a lot richer because of Sarah Palin.
And the Republican vice presidential nominee will soon be receiving tens of thousands of thank-you notes.
A three-week-old Internet campaign is asking abortion-rights activists to send donations to Planned Parenthood in honor of the Alaska governor.
The origin of the campaign is unknown and Planned Parenthood officials insist it is not their doing.
Palin is a staunch abortion- rights opponent. The campaign is meant to translate anger at her position into money for an agency that provides sex education, women's health care and abortion services.
One e-mail making the rounds on the Internet says: "Instead of (actually, in addition to) all of us all sending more e-mails about how absolutely horrible she is, let's all make a donation to Planned Parenthood in Sarah Palin's name."
Katie Groke Ellis, field manager for the Planned Parenthood of the Rockies Action Fund, predicts that the five-state chapter of the group alone could draw $100,000 in donations.
What is great is that when Planned Parenthood gets a donation they send out a thank you note, if the donation is made in teh name of someone, they sent the thank you to that person. It looks like the McCain campaign is going to get 10s of thousands of thank you notes.
ROFL!!!
