Subject: Send Ann Coulter a message.

Stand up to Ann Coulter's divisive hatemongering.
Please kick in $5 to support Xavier's progressive student groups and as much as you can for People For's efforts to track, refute and defeat the Radical Right.
Dear xxxxxx,
On September 6, Ann Coulter will be speaking at Xavier University in Ohio. You can help turn her hatemongering against her, and the rest of the Far Right. Here's how.
People For is teaming up with state groups like ProgressOhio and Equality Ohio to raise support for the progressive student groups at Xavier that fight for the American values -- equality, diversity, social justice -- Coulter routinely attacks. Since Coulter's speaking fee of $20,000+ equals about $5 per Xavier student, we are asking progressives to chip in $5 to support groups like Xavier's Gay-Straight Alliance, Amnesty International, Habitat for Humanity and Earthcare.
This is just the start.
Can you spare just $5 to support the same communities Coulter regularly bashes for pay?
As Ann Coulter is speaking, People For, our Ohio partners, fellows from our affiliate People For the American Way Foundation's Young People For program and other progressive students and activists will participate in a rally on Xavier's campus, where we will counter Coulter's divisive message and present a check to Xavier's progressive student groups for the total amount raised by all the participating groups.
YOU can be there in spirit. And YOU can help turn this into a model that can be used across the country -- a way for progressives to turn radical right-wingers' vitriol, bigotry and intolerance against them, while at the same time bolstering our movement.
When you donate, you can write a little note to Ms. Coulter that we'll see gets sent her way. Donate more than $5 and the extra will go toward People For's ongoing efforts to:
create this type of response to right-wing demagogues on campuses and in communities across the country;
monitor and report on the Radical Right (including via our Right Wing Watch blog);
work with our allies and our affiliates (PFAWF, YP4, YP4 Action) to build the tools and resources activists like you can use to fight the Right in your own communities.
People For was founded over 25 years ago by Norman Lear, Barbara Jordan and other leaders in direct response to the growing influence of Radical Right figures like Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell. Mobilizing Americans to challenge the Right remains a core part of our mission, and with people out there like Ann Coulter, we still have our work cut out for us.
Please kick in $5 in support of Xavier's progressive student groups and as much as you can to People For's efforts to track, refute and defeat the Radical Right.
Thank you.

ROFL If anything, what Ann does is comedy mongering, or laugh mongering. If these people could get away with it, it would be legislated that you can’t say “no” to your kids, that would be hate.
How did America let these mental midgets get away with redefining hate to mean anything they don’t agree with. Kill PC!! LOL
I’ll get it right up to you. In fact make it $10. Check’s in the mail. Don’t hold your breath.
To hear anyone from the left talk about “divisive hatemongering” would be laughable if it wasn’t so sad.
Ann has really pissed off the queers. Now she is really in trouble since the perverts don’t like to be called perverts. The pervert population is waning with each new reclassification of pervert as normal. The nambla homos are dancing in the streets of San fransicko.

One of these days, one of those moon bats will violently attack Ann Coulter, I’d bet on it.
And trust me, a confrontation they will get.

Is People For the American Way shortening their name to People For? Are they afraid college students may not want to contribute to something that mentions “the American Way”?
The American Radical Right is being “attacked” by the un-American Radical Wrong?
A better idea would be to get PFAW’s O.G., Norman Lear, to sell just one of his 21 personal cars to raise the dough. This way it would actually look as though PFAW might actually use the money for the stated purpose, instead of probably scamming it for themselves.
21 cars for personal use, in a garage almost as big as the Edwards mansion, while people in neighboring cities are starving. Now THAT’S the American Way. Way to go, Norman.
Unfortunately I think you’re right. I’m surprised it hasn’t happened already and not just against Coulter.
The left is unhinged, dangerous, treasonous and totally intolerant of dissent from their party line.
OOOH! All those manly metrosexuals are getting down on Ann (pun intended).
My only regret is that I have but one life to give for Ann Coulter. She can be a bit caustic and overly emotionally charged at times, but she is smarter than her critics.
