Dear xxx,

 

We wouldn't treat our pets this way.

....and we'll send you a $25 gift certificate for our YES! on Prop 2

online store.

Help us raise $200,000 to keep our ad on the air until November 4th.

What do factory farms and Desperate Housewives have to do with each

other? During this election season in California, plenty.

 

Today, The Humane Society of the United States and the YES! on Prop 2

campaign launched this powerful television ad in California that

delivers this critical message:

 

We wouldn't force our pets to live in filthy, cramped cages for their

whole lives, and we shouldn't force farm animals to endure such

misery, either.

 

It's the message California voters need to hear. But sadly, these ads

don't come cheap -- especially on popular shows like Lost, Desperate

Housewives, and CSI. And unlike our Big Agribusiness opponents, we

don't have deep pockets to get our message out there.

 

That's why, today, I'm asking you to make a special gift to help us

raise the $200,000 we need to get the truth out about Proposition 2 --

especially to your neighbors in California.

 

Starting now, we have just 29 days to reach those Californians whose

only exposure to Prop 2 could be our opposition's deceptive TV ads.

With your support today, we can set the record straight. Please help

us keep our YES! on Prop 2 TV ad on the air. Here's what your donation

today will buy:

 

If you can give $35, our ad will air during The Early Show in Monterey

 

If you can give $50, our ad will air during the KGO 5 p.m. News in San

Francisco

 

If you can give $100, our ad will air during The Ellen DeGeneres Show

in San Francisco

 

If you can give $500, our ad will air during CSI in San Francisco

 

If you can give $1000, our ad will air during Desperate Housewives in

San Francisco

 

The bottom line is this: Prop 2 is a modest measure that simply allows

animals in factory farms the ability to move and stretch their limbs.

We don't think it's too much to ask, but the factory farming industry

is peddling propaganda and scare tactics about Prop 2's supposed

burden on egg factory farmers -- when even industry economists concede

that production costs will increase less than a penny per egg.

 

This isn't about cost. It's about profit motives conflicting with the

humane society we're working to create.

 

Time is running out for us to make our mark. We'll have the greatest

impact by broadcasting our ad to millions in California. Will you help

make sure voters get the message?

 

Thank you so much for helping reach your fellow voters in California.

 

Sincerely,

 

Jennifer Fearing
