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

[Jarrah]

If we go ahead with that (the idea was to send a letter or release to media
organizations with some helpful tips on how to avoid sexist election
reporting and why that's important) I'd suggest maybe the last Monday in
March or the first Tuesday in April after the long weekend. The writ drop
will happen for sure by mid-April so it needs to be before that.
