Woman's Dying Wish: Defeat Bush

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. -- A South Florida woman who died this week had an unusual last request. Instead of flower or contributions in her name to a charity, she asked those who loved her to try to make sure President George W. Bush is not re-elected.

Loved ones said that Joan Abbey was committed to her political passions, even in death.

(snip)

Abbey, who was a lifelong Democrat, died Monday -- coincidentally on the first day of the Democratic National Convention.

(snip)

Abbey was buried the day after the Democratic convention ended. Her unusual death notice in the Miami Herald said: "You can honor Joan's values by voting against George Bush and contributing to a liberal or Democratic cause."


So... in honor of Joan Abbey, well, you know what to do!

1. I included a similar line in my husband's obit
I got lots of great comments as a result, and lost a fair-weather friend over it too. A stupid idiot freeper friend, so it was no loss.
