Hollywood celebrities such as Matt Damon, Lindsay Lohan, Barbra Streisand, Pamela Anderson and Pink are not the only ones taking a stand against Sarah Palin (you can click on their names to know what they have said about Palin in the past). As a matter of fact, not even the nation’s leading women’s rights organization, National Organization for Women PAC, stands behind John McCain and his “female running mate” Sarah Palin.

In a statement on the organization’s website, Chair Kim Gandy states:

“It is with great enthusiasm that I announce today, on behalf of the nation’s oldest and largest women’s rights organization, that the National Organization for Women Political Action Committee (NOW PAC) proudly endorses Sen. Barack Obama for President of the United States…Women of all ages, races and ethnicities are coming together in support of Sen. Obama and his pledge to fulfill this country’s promise of equal opportunity for our daughters as well as all our sons.

Although it is very unusual for us to endorse in a presidential election, this is an unprecedented candidate and an unprecedented time for our country… NOW supported Sen. Hillary Clinton in the primary, and now we join with her in saying “NO” — No Way, No How, No McCain! And we proudly stand arm-in-arm with her in putting our hopes and our dreams, our hard work and our hard-earned money, behind the next President of the United States — Barack Obama, and his running mate, longtime friend and ally of women, Sen. Joe Biden.”
