Florida Woman's Dying Wish

I found this listed on Air America's front page and thought it was interesting enough to share here.  

Didn't know her, but after reading it I think she's someone I would have liked to have known.  Maybe those of you who read this can donate (money or time) to a candidate/cause of your choosing in her honor.

Florida Woman's Dying Wish:  Beat Bush

A South Florida woman, Joan Abbey who died last week had an unusual last request.  Instead of flowers 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.  

Abbey was buried the day after the Democratic convention ended.  Her 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."  Abbey's nephew, Martin Shapiro, said, "What she cared most about was improving circumstances in this country... getting rid of George Bush and making this a better country for all people."
