Received an email yesterday asking for donations and to sign a petition.
My Response: Why is it the only time we here from political people it's send money, ask your special interest people, better yet send me 25 dollars.
Then I get this back today:
Dear, -----
I just had to share a quick note with you this morning to say thank you.
Not because of the end-of-quarter deadline, but because of the incredible amount of support you’ve shown me — and, more importantly, the millions of women who rely on Planned Parenthood — this past month. You signed our petition, shared your stories, and made contributions all in the name of protecting women’s unfettered access to the health care they need.
That’s pretty special if you ask me, and I’m incredibly touched by it.
I think it was said best by another brave women who shared her reason for supporting Planned Parenthood last week:
“I support Planned Parenthood because in my late teens and up to my mid-20's, I did not have consistent health insurance. I lived in poverty and did not have much help from family due to their own desperate circumstances. Planned Parenthood is where I received vital health care. I want that for other women and their families who are in similar circumstances to me years ago. Thanks again for everything you’ve done, and will do in the future.”
I want that for every women in America too — and together, we’re going to make sure that no ever takes it away.
Thanks again for everything,
Michelle Lujan Grisham
