[Wamvan] HuffPo article on Christy Clark and the MILF comments

[Joanna Chiu]

Ahh, indeed! When do you think we should time our launch of the media advisory we discussed? (to send to media orgs ahead of the election to explain why things like MILF questions are sexist and inappropriate).

Sorry for delay in emailing out the other ideas we brainstormed at the social! I was just waiting to get info about resources available from head office. Will email out soon and ask for more idea contributions. 

Happy 2013!
