Alaska Women Rejecting Palin Rally - September 13, 2008, Anchorage

Some video perspectives at the rally. (And for the pro-Palin crowd, I did also take video and photos of the pro-Palin side even though that wasn't my focus.) And here is a phenomenal blog of women's voices against Sarah Palin.

Keep in mind we aren't against PALIN - we are against what she represents, what she stands for, what she represents and how she is being used by the Republican Party. But Sarah herself - those who know her might be afraid of her or not really like her as a person, but we aren't AGAINST her.

I find it amazing that some of these woman appeared to not know why they were at the rally.

You could clearly see the ones that were trying to make something up while they were being interviewed.

I think this was more of an Obama rally than a anti-Palin rally.

First, I want to thank each of these thoughtful women for speaking out. It was both illuminating and heartening for me to hear their views.
Contrary to the previous commenter, I think these women were very clear about why they were at the rally. They don't think Sarah Palin should be Vice President of the United States.
Several well-defined areas of concern emerged in these interviews that many of us in the lower 48 share with these women. As a reminder they were: her lack of honesty, her lack of experience, her religious extremism, her past performance in office, her views on a woman's right to choose and other womens' issues, the environment, alternative energy, McCain and his party using Alaska and Palin for their own gain, her lack of knowledge about any other types of energy but gas and oil, her "real" record, and overwhelmingly, a need to let others in the country know that all Alaskans do not support her or her views.
These women knew EXACTLY why they were at the rally.
