Another reason to adore Sarah Jessica Parker - definately a liberal minded woman

I was almost going to give up SATC when I found out the person who wrote the original book, Candace Bushnell, was a bigtime Bush supporter. But then I realized she wrote the book and pretty much the TV show and its stars were NOT Bush supporters, in fact they were the exact opposite. During season #5, each week 3-4 items worn by the cast in the show would be auctioned off on Ebay to raise money for Planned Parenthood. Gotta love that. And here's another lil tidbit about SJP

Actress Sarah Jessica Parker credits her open mind with time spent during her childhood attending protests.

The Sex and the City star would join her parents on regular protests in her hometown of Nelsonville, Ohio.

And Parker believes the protests turned her into the free-thinking woman she is today.

She tells Britain's Marie Claire magazine, "I spent my whole childhood on protest marches, against the Vietnam War; protesting against fast-food developments in my small town; protesting for a woman's right to choose; wearing black armbands to support political prisoners.

"I come from a long line of protesters. So, it has definitely been an influence and I'm really glad of it, because it opened my brain and really made me think about other people and made me politically involved."
