Send a hanger to South Dakota!
Got this email from my good friend, Jerry Falwell. He has thoughtfully included an address for a fundy organization known as Vote Yes for Life which opposes Planned Parenthood. I think a good idea would be to send coat hangers (or letters, maybe) as donations to this cause.

"Donations" may be sent to:

Vote Yes for Life

600 N. Western Ave.

Sioux Falls, SD 57104

South Dakota Pro-Lifers Face Off Against Planned Parenthood

The pro-life movement in South Dakota needs your help. In a moment, I’ll tell you how you can help, but first, please allow me to explain the situation in the state.

Abortion-rights advocates have gotten a measure on the November ballot that, if passed, would repeal the state law (HB 1215) forbidding all abortions, except those that would save the life of a mother. The ban, which hasn’t yet taken effect, will be activated if it passes the ballot initiative (even though it would likely would be challenged in the courts). The law states that individuals performing abortions would be fined $5,000 and be jailed for five years.

Here’s the key problem: Planned Parenthood is now pouring money into the state, in hopes of killing this legislation without having to go to court.

Dr. Allen Unruh, of the South Dakota pro-life organization Vote Yes for Life (www.voteyesforlife.com), tells me that Planned Parenthood panicked after HB 1215 was passed in both state houses and Gov. Mike Rounds signed it into law. The state house voted 50 to 18 in favor of the bill, while the state senate passed it 23 to 12.

Dr. Unruh says the organization is mounting an $8 million media blitz over the next two months. He tells me this is a major propaganda campaign to demonize and distort the language on the ban on abortion in South Dakota.

Pro-life leaders in the state are now trying to raise funds to counter Planned Parenthood’s campaign to defeat the law. They are now attempting to raise $4 million to offset Planned Parenthood’s campaign to radical political agenda.

That’s where I hope you will step in. I have told Dr. Unruh and his team that I will do my best to deliver thousands of people who will financially help to win this historic battle. We have to raise $4 million dollars — very quickly — in South Dakota to counter the propaganda Planned Parenthood will be putting on the airwaves prior to the November election.

Dr. Unruh and I believe that if there were ever a time when Christians need to invest in a pro-life effort, the time is now and the place is South Dakota. If the state wins this battle, other states could follow South Dakota’s lead in the future, also determining to outlaw abortion.

I am urging my friends across the country to give generously to this vital campaign.

What happens in South Dakota will literally affect the future of America.

2. And Iowa has a candidate for governor who thinks South Dakota
is right on the money. Jim Nussle, most recently in charge of driving up the deficit and national debt through his sterling work in the US House, now brings his special kind of hate for people to a run for governor of Iowa.
Nussle's family values include dumping his wife and family for his secretary shortly after becoming a representative.
These assholes never quit and their pockets seem to be infinitly deep. You grandchildren will be fighting these battles 50 years from now, should democracy survive.
