Governor Palin is NOT Asking For it!

The New Agenda Announcement Action Alert

A NEW NON-PARTISAN GROUP FOR WOMEN’S RIGHTS

Mr. Plotz – Governor Palin is NOT Asking For it!     Yesterday, Slate Magazine, a Washington Post subsidiary, featured an illustration of Gov. Sarah Palin on the front page of its website in which Gov. Palin was wearing high heels, perched on a stool, with her breasts popping out of her skimpy dress and a bible squeezed tightly between her bare thighs. The accompanying article, entitled, “Sexy Puritans”, suggested that Gov. Palin was using “sexiness” to further her conservative Christian agenda. The author of the article, Tom Perrotta, used some lewd sexual imagery in support of his argument, implying Gov. Palin is by association guilty of some vague sexual impropriety. The aim of this tactic is to demean and discredit Gov. Palin, while implying that she is “asking for it.” The New Agenda has written a letter to David Plotz, the editor of Slate Magazine, protesting the publication of this article and asking for a meeting to clarify our concerns.  The letter is posted on our website: Letter From the New Agenda to Mr. David Plotz Now members, we encourage you all to pitch in and join us.  Please take a moment to send an email or call Slate in protest of the sleazy tactics they are using to discredit Gov. Palin.  To contact editors in the New York office, please call Noreen Malone at (212) 445-5330 or e-mail nyoffice@slate.com.  To contact editors in the D.C. office, please call Chris Wilson at (202) 261-1310 or e-mail dcoffice@slate.com.  The New Agenda Team   New Agenda Media Alert
