Help Edit Sandra Fluke's Wikipedia Article

I don't know how many wikipedia editors are out there, but I want to enlist you in helping to edit the article on Sandra Fluke. Help me add materiel that is helpful to her and shows how hurtful these attacks are. Wiki is a site people who don't know what is going on will google to get the low down on what is going on. It is in our best interest to ensure she has a page that shows here for the intelligent woman she is and that shows how hateful these attacks are:

Aluminium or Aluminum? Should a photo of a giant spider be placed in the entry for arachnophobia? Are Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader considered the same character? What does "pwned" mean? These are the questions which began some of the greatest edit wars on Wikipedia

otherwise those wingtards are going to dig up every flub or negative comment from acquaintances and turn all those molehills into erupting supervolcanoes.

Oh well, the GOP is digging its grave in a big way with this shit.

Dems should absolutely sweep in 2012.

But she worked "spent five years working for Sanctuary for Families, a New York-based nonprofit aiding victims of domestic violence. While at Georgetown, she worked on issues that involved domestic violence and human trafficking."


Thats not to bad.

When photographed from the right angle that could be depicted as picking her nose. That's called a Guantanamo-level Federal offense when done by Sandra Fluke. Also known as a non-issue when done by Rush Limbaugh.

In any case, what enrages me the most is that her privacy is going to be like a virgin sacrifice dumped into a giant tank full of starving piranhas.

Now it is a fight for the public to view her as someone who helped people her whole adult life or what the GOP have planned.

and all the freepers went and started editing Wiki to match her version of the events of Revere's ride, no matter no wrong it was.
