    KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ISSUE

    What is important is not Bristol, her boy friend or their choice, it is the fact that Sarah Palin would deny any other woman and family any choice in whether to have sex education rather than a simplistic - " don't do it" ...and a choice of whether to go forward with a pregnancy that will forever change her life. Keep your eyes on the issue...not the personality....these are the "family values" that the Republicans want to impose on your family, your daughters, your girl friends. It is their decision..not yours...That is what this issue is about...and what this election means to women who have fought long and hard for the right to choose. I hope they realize the a woman on the ticket, if successfull, will be the woman's ticket to the 19th century.

    Keep them barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen. - that should be the Republican election slogan.
