As a 60-year-old woman, I would like to say that Sarah Palin does not represent anything that I find sacred or good in women. She incites people to become violent (as in her speeches against Obama) and her speeches do not bring great expectations for a future for our country but only fear—fear of a black man becoming President.
I live in a small town in Ohio, near Youngstown, where many of our companies have either gone out of business or sent overseas. I do not hear any ideas from Palin about what John McCain will do for us, only cruel remarks from a person who professes to be a mother. Where is her caring about what happens to us? I believe John McCain made the biggest mistake of his life by choosing her. He should have chosen someone who cares about the country and not about how much camera time she can get.
Praying that she doesn't get in,
-A. Ryan, 60, Ohio

On Wednesday, September 3, we sent out an email to 40 friends and colleagues asking them to respond to Sarah Palin’s candidacy as Vice President of the United States. They forwarded the letter to their friends across America. To date, we have received nearly 200,000 responses from women of all ages and backgrounds. Below are their voices.
Come, come, my conservative friend, wipe the dew off your spectacles, and see that the world is moving."
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton

About Me

- We are not in the habit of criticizing women in the public sphere, as we usually feel we should support our female compatriots with as much encouragement as we can. However, Sarah Palin's record is anti-woman. Feminism is not simply about achieving the power and status typically held by men. It's about protecting and supporting the rights of women of all classes, races, cultures, and beliefs. Palin's record and beliefs do not align with this. She was chosen by John McCain specifically because he believes that American women will vote for any female candidate regardless of their qualifications. He is wrong.
