Trick or Tweet [Planned Parenthood shells out big money for Twitter "followers"]
Family Research Council ^ | 6/21/11 | Tony Perkins

If Planned Parenthood were really suffering financially, do you think the organization could afford to spend $100,000 on tweets? Jill Stanek did some digging and found out that America's biggest abortion group is so desperate that it's paying people to follow them on Twitter.

As a new form of advertising, the social media execs are offering "promoted tweets," where companies can pay to have their messages listed with users. Back in September, the Wall Street Journal reported Twitter was selling the 140-character messages for $100,000 each.

Planned Parenthood has paid for two.

Obviously, the abortion giant is more interested in keeping their government dollars than providing services to women. Instead of using that money to keep their clinics open in Minnesota and Indiana and provide those so-called "vital services for women," the group is spamming people on Twitter.

So the next time Planned Parenthood cries poor, Congress should tell them to tweet it to someone who cares.

Your Congressman may be interested to know that PP's funding its Ministry of Propaganda outweighs its concern for its clinics' "health."
