I just wanted to remind us all to pick up our postcards and get them ready to mail TOMORROW Oct. 2nd.

Here is the rest of the press release
Go out and get those postcards! You can even print you own on your computer...
I am going to post this in Political pagan too!
Cheers

********* Press Release ***********
Date: September 24, 2001
From: Pagan Unity Campaign (PUC)
Subj: Bless America Project
Dist: Please Distribute Unedited Copies Freely
Body: The Pagan Unity Campaign announces today the start of a new project
that deals with the use of the gender specific "God" in alleged interfaith
ceremonies that discludes Pagans or any faith other than Christian, Muslim or
Jewish paths.
Our goal is to do this in a manner that is respectful, non-divisive, and
supportive of all Americans. To achieve this goal, we have developed a new
"Goddess Bless America" T shirt that you can buy via our online store. Also,
we have developed a postcard campaign that expresses our diverse beliefs
during this tragedy.
However, this campaign is different from past PUC activities and will include
certain members of the mainstream media, specifically those who have come out
against Falwell's hate rhetoric.
We ask all Pagans to send postcards to the below addresses that read
"_________ Bless America" where each Pagan will write the name of the Deity
they work with the most. If you are a devotee of Sekhmet, write in "Sekhmet."
If you work with three Deities, send in three cards! If you only deal with
the "feminine", write in "Goddess."
We also ask you to add "Pagan Unity Campaign" and "paganunitycampaign.org" to
each card so the addressees can see that all cards are from a single source.
Please use postcards that have a picture from your local area. Cards with a
local museum, your city's skyline or "Welcome To Florida" type cards are also
encouraged. We want to show that these cards come from all over America and
from individual people. This is especially important now that we are
including select individuals of the mainstream media. However, please feel
free to add any other politician or media figure to your list, but PUC is
focusing on the below five more maximum impact.
Since the September 11 attacks killed almost a thousand people from other
nations, we invite non-US Pagans to join us in this project.
The mail date for this is October 2nd, the next Full Moon. We need to be
respectful to the victims, their families and all Americans and allow some
time for the pain to ease. Remember, if we cannot be supportive of all
Americans, this is not worth doing. However, we need to do this soon before
more egregious behavior can occur. We have a lot of work ahead to make this
deadline.
