[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Dear Friend,

Remember idealism? Well, now there's a way to put it to work in today's more practical world- Without any extra work on your part!!

By just making a long distance call you can generate even more automatic contributions to causes that really resonate in you life, such as...

Peace
human rights
Equality
education
and the enviroment!

Which means that every time you make a long distance call, you help...

build affordable housing
clean up toxi waste dumps
Protect a woman's right to choose
Expose corporate polluters around the world
provide emergency aid to victims of armed conflict, epidemics, and natural disasters

You can also make free calls to politicians and corporate fat cats!

5% of your phone bill will go to.....

I got this in the mail today. Not only can I donate to every liberal cause in the world, but I can get a free pint of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream every month for a year!!!!

Life is good. Eat ice cream, make calls, and fund abortions. Woo hoo!!!

[CaptRon]

I'd like to know a little bit more about how this works so I'm not unintentionally contributing to, say, the Ruckus Society.

[SunStar]

Don't post this tripe here... These guys are responsible for funding the recent anti-war/communist/anarchist protests....

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

The creative hellraisers at Ruckus and some of our closest allies have been working around the clock to bring you the War Profiteers Card Deck. Now you can learn about the world's inner circle of modern day Conquistadors without missing your Friday night poker game.

War Profiteers Card DeckThe WarProfiteers deck exposes some of the real war criminals in the US's endless War of Terror. This is no Sunday bridge club. These are individuals and institutions that stack the deck against democracy in the rigged game of global power. Exposing their place in the house of cards illuminates the links among corporations, institutions, and government officials that profit from endless war. The US War of Terror is not about liberation, democracy, or UN resolutions. Plainly put, the War of Terror--whether in Iraq, Colombia, Afghanistan, or the USA--is about subjugation, resource extraction, and opening markets: a practice once referred to more honestly as colonialism.
Take It To The Streets!

George Bush and his cronies from Bechtel, Haliburton, Exxon, and the Carlyle Group (to name just a few) have now begun the "Corporate Invasion" of Iraq.

Please take to the streets in nonviolent opposition as these psychopaths get their new "war on". Our show of creative resistance to our government's actions has never been more important.

Let's prove that you don't have to kill to fight for your country!
Upcoming...

Flagstaff Activist Network is co-sponsoring a Micro-Ruckus in Flagstaff, Arizona, June 21st to June 22nd. This training will focus on wildlife protection issues in Arizona. Registration is limited to 100 and priority will be given to Arizona wildlife activists, but others are welcome to fill available spaces. More information/registration: slara1@qwest.net
Anti-War microRuckus

We firmly believe direct action training is contributing to the power of the movement. Therefore, we are going to spend the next three months doing microRUCKUS anti-War trainings on campuses while taking the time to build synergy for a future full scale Anti-War/Anti-Militarism camp. If you are from a college or university and would like to host a training in your area, please send your detailed proposals to antiwar@ruckus.org.
Get Involved!

Ruckus encourages everyone to connect with local, national, international groups to support the on-going efforts to achieve peace and justice here at home and abroad.

For more information on groups to work with, click here ...for how Ruckus is doing our part, keep reading...


Ruckus staff and trainers borrowed the largest billboard in downtown San Francisco for a few hours on the morning of March 19th to deploy a 2,100 square foot Anti-War protest banner. The nonviolent direct action was done in solidarity with Act Against War, the coalition coordinating Bay Area protests. The banner was donated to Ruckus by friends from the La Mitzvah Collective in Colorado.
Anti-War March 1/18/03
1/18/03 -- Anti-War March in San Francisco. Ruckus joined MoveOn.org, Greenpeace, Working Assets and others to lead an environmental contingent during the 200,000 person march against the war. Read news coverage by the San Francisco Chronicle.

Obviously sarcasm is lost on you.

[netmilsmom]

But I'll bet someone was serious when it was posted on the DU!

How did you (of all people) get on this lucky list?

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Wait, this is serious. This is what I got in the mail today. This is a real long distance plan. That's why I included a link.

Only the title is mine.

[Carolina]

Oh, boy! What will PETA say with the 12 free pints of ice cream per year? Won't that add an undue burden to the poor beasts?

[netmilsmom]

Oh I got that it was real and your posting it HERE was the funny part, but how did you get on the mailing list?
Are you a closet liberal ;-)?

[longtermmemmory]

the same carrier will do the same thing for conservative causes probably. With one plan they support handgun control with tthe other hand they support the NRA.

[snarkpup]

Working Assets is one of those "socially responsible" mutual fund outfits and has been around for some time. They cater to people who desperately want to invest in something, but who cannot cope with the concept of funding capitalist enterprises. Funds like this deal with their white liberal guilt by investing in companies that are closed union shops, practice heavy-duty affirmative action, etc.

[mallardx]

Oh, so people that invest in this anti-market tripe will get burned and lose everything they have...'nuff said!

[uvular]

Wow, they almost had me with the ice cream, but then they lost me.

Totally against peace and the environment....

[Fintan]

I got this in the mail today. Not only can I donate to every liberal cause in the world, but I can get a free pint of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream every month for a year!!!!

 

Oh sure. I've managed to sell the Tupperware at two garage sales. And the Flowbee I got for our wedding night (you do remember that, don't you???), that's gone too. The trailer park is using it to mow their lawns. At least something good came out of it. Oh, and by the way...here's a picture of our love child. You'll notice he's not eating "Cherry Garcia"... I've signed the divorce papers. You're free, free as a bird to spend your days and nights throwing my support checks away eating free samples from your leftist friends. Just know this...as long as I'm drawing breath, little Zoltan will get his protein fix somewhere else.

[Wondering in Wyoming]

"Working Assets" is not any sort of investment vehicle.
They simply buy long distance time in bulk, sell it
back at retail, and donate 5% of the profit to the
left-wing groups listed above.
They've been at it for almost 10 years now and they've
been very successful.
I've always wished someone would do something similar
on the conservative side, but it's just never happened.
Give them credit, it's a great idea.

[CheneyChick]

[SuziQ]

Don't post this tripe here

On the contrary, I'm glad she did. Now we are informed enough to pass this offer right on by!

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

I am not signing any divorce papers. Now don't get me angry.

Our true love will last forever.
