Action in Anchorage

I thought I'd forward this email that just came to me this morning from an Anchorage friend ready to confront the Palin Groupies in downtown Anchorage. Activism is alive and well in our state. Let's keep it up. Go Girlz and Dudz!

Hi Kim,

I leave in a couple hours for our first 'AK women against Palin' rally. We made signs last night. If you've caught the local news, you saw the rabid-right in action. A local conservative radio talk-show guy called us 'socialist baby-killing maggots'. Then he gave out the phone numbers of two of the women (from a flyer or web sight), and they were inundated with hate calls.

Now the pro-Palin people are having a counter rally, and we'll probably have 20-30 people and they'll have hundreds. The cops are supposed to be there, so check out the news tonight.

All this started with ten of us friends meeting at the Middle Way Cafe last Saturday, and we wanted to do something to let others know that Palin doesn't speak for ALL Alaska.

Wish you were here - we could use the support!
KK
