eviltammyFork over your 10 cents for a good cause:
http://www.ppsp.org/PledgePicket-index.asp
Every time protesters gather outside of our Locust Street health center,
our patients face verbal attacks from them. They see graphic signs meant to
confuse and intimidate. They are sometimes blocked from entering the
building and occasionally they are videotaped. They are offered anti-
choice propaganda and free rides to the closest "crisis pregnancy
center."
Staff and volunteers are also seen as targets. We are all called murderers,
are lectured to about committing sins, and are told we will pay the
"ultimate price" for our actions.
You can stand with others in the community against these
acts of intimidation and harassment
Here's how it works: You decide on the amount you would like to pledge for
each protester (minimum 10 cents). When protesters show up on our
sidewalks, Planned Parenthood Southeastern Pennsylvania will count and
record their number each day from October 1 through November 30, 2005. We
will place a sign outside the health center that tracks pledges and makes
protesters fully aware that their actions are benefiting PPSP. At the end
of the two-month campaign, we will send you an update on protest activities
and a pledge reminder.
Example:
If you pledge 30 cents per protester, and PPSP has 100 protesters in
October and 160 protesters in November, your donation would be 78 dollars
for the entire two-month campaign.
Similar to sponsoring a runner in a charity marathon, your pledge total can
be capped at a pre-set amount, if desired.

form to mail to PPSP, 1144 Locust Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107.

Cool! Can't you just see someone going out to the picketers and saying "Thanks, guys! You helped us raise $5000!"
