Help Air Our TV Ad Around the Vice Presidential Debate Please donate to ensure that millions more potential voters know the awful truth about Governor Sarah Palin’s brutal record on wolves and other wildlife… Yes! I will donate… $20: Part of one 60-second TV ad $40: Two parts of a 60-second TV ad $200: A full 60-second TV ad Another Amount Spreading the Word So far, your donations have helped run the ad in carefully selected key areas… Florida (Tampa) Michigan (Lansing) Ohio (Dayton and Toledo) Virginia (Northern Virginia/Washington, DC) With your help, we can also run it in more critical areas… Colorado (Denver) Ohio (Columbus) Other targeted areas before and after the vice presidential debate Dear Sharon4ANDERSON, Our hard-hitting TV ad on Governor Sarah Palin’s support for aerial hunting of wolves is “the first ad in over a month that seems to have broken through,” according to a new study by the independent research firm, HCD Research. [1] According to the study, support for McCain-Palin among Democrats, Independents and even Republicans declined after viewing this powerful ad. Eighteen percent of likely voters are still undecided, [2] and we don’t have much time to make sure as many potential voters as possible know the awful truth about the person who could be just a heartbeat away from the presidency. Please help us air our hard-hitting TV ad on Palin’s shameful record in key states around the vice presidential debate with a donation right now. Thanks to more than 15,000 dedicated wildlife supporters, we’ve already been able to run the ad in Ohio, Florida and Michigan -- reaching millions of potential voters in key swing states that will help determine the outcome of the presidential election. But the vice presidential debate is just one week away and there are still millions of potential voters across the U.S. who don’t know about Governor Palin’s brutal aerial killing program, her proposal to dole out $150 for the severed forelegs of dead wolves or her $400,000 state-funded propaganda campaign supporting this awful practice. Please consider donating today to make sure that millions of potential voters know the truth about Governor Sarah Palin’s brutal record and help us provide a voice for wildlife in the political process. As the election draws closer, it is getting more and more costly to run our ads. But if you can help us raise $250,000 by next Thursday, we can keep our ad on the air in Ohio, Florida, Northern Virginia and Michigan for a few more days and run the ad in another key battleground state -- Colorado. This is a powerful story. In less than two weeks, this video has been viewed on YouTube nearly 380,000 times. It has sparked news stories on Governor Palin’s awful environmental record in The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times, CNN and --just this past weekend -- a CBS Nightly News segment. And the TV ad has already been seen by millions of potential voters in Ohio, Florida and Michigan. Together, we can do more. I need you to join the fight to let potential voters know out about Governor Palin’s awful policies. Please contribute whatever you can today to help Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund air this powerful ad and provide a voice for our wildlife and for people like you and me who care about protecting it. Time is running out to make a difference. I hope you’ll help. With Gratitude, Rodger Schlickeisen President Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund P.S. Help support this important effort by making a secure contribution online or by calling 1-800-425-4632 to donate to help spotlight Governor Palin’s record and advocate for America’s wildlife. P.P.S. You can learn more about Governor Palin's record on Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund's website.

Peta_Stop Animal Testing

Dear Sharon, Did you know that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires more animal–based toxicity testing than any other federal agency? Yet in more than 10 years—and despite killing hundreds of thousands of animals—the EPA has not banned a single toxic industrial chemical using its authority under the Toxic Substances Control Act. Who is funding this wanton cruelty? You are. The U.S. government uses your tax dollars to support the poisoning and killing of more than 15 million individual animals in go-nowhere toxicity experiments every year. Please help us stop animal tests by making a special donation to PETA. Your support can help end the suffering of millions of individual animals caged behind laboratory doors. In crude chemical and pharmaceutical tests, dogs, rabbits, mice, and other animals are forced to eat pesticides, injected with gasoline components, stuffed into inhalation tubes, and forced to breathe poisonous gases or have their skin shaved and corrosive substances rubbed onto it. These animals suffer and then are killed and thrown away like garbage. But together, we can stop much of this abuse. PETA is—absolutely and unequivocally—the government's toughest opponent in the fight to compel a switch from animal tests to non-animal alternatives. Backed by some of the most credible scientists in the field, PETA is forcing government officials to look at the hard facts about vivisection. Animal tests are scientifically unreliable, expensive, time-consuming, and hopelessly outdated. The National Academy of Sciences (NAS), the government's own scientific advisory body, published a landmark report last spring that states just this—and recommends switching to non–animal tests. With help from friends like you, we can make government agencies listen to the NAS recommendations—and save animals' lives. These animals will suffer greatly without our help, so please give as generously as you can today. The U.S. government is ignoring decades of scientific progress by sticking to animal tests and lagging far behind the European Union when it comes to implementing better, non-animal alternatives. PETA is changing that. Our on–staff scientists, a stellar team of five professionals, recently stopped proposed testing that would have poisoned to death as many as 4,000 animals. We're also putting pressure on the government and Congress to reform the committees that are supposed to provide oversight for many animal experiments and approve non-animal alternatives. But we can do little to save animals from cruel tests without the resources that we need to do this lifesaving work. Please help us end the suffering of so many animals in laboratories by making a donation online today. Thank you for helping PETA fight for a brighter future for animals. Very truly yours, Ingrid E. Newkirk President P.S. The U.S. government is encouraging and funding worthless experiments that needlessly kill millions of animals. But with the support of the scientific community and caring people like you, PETA is ending these cruel practices. Please make an online tax-deductible donation today to support this vital work. I guarantee that your support will help stop animal suffering and abuse.

Thank you for pledging never to eat the flesh of a pig again so
that you're not supporting the cruelty documented during PETA's
investigation.
PETA TV:Hormel Supplier Caught Abusing Mother Pigs and Piglets
If you haven't already done so, please call or write to Hormel.
Demand that Hormel follow PETA's eight-point policy when
governing future pig-farming operations. The plan includes
calling for the immediate termination and criminal prosecution
of anyone who is caught abusing or neglecting animals. It also
calls on Hormel to enact and enforce meaningful animal welfare
guidelines for its suppliers.

Please send polite comments to:

Your efforts will help some pigs who are raised and killed for
food, but please remember that the best way that any of us can
help farmed animals is by not eating them. If you eat hot dogs,
ham, sausage, or bacon, you support the suffering that you have
seen in PETA's video footage, so please don't eat pigs.

Thank you for helping animals.

Sincerely,

PETA
