Stand Up And Be Noticed!

The Pagan Unity Campaign is urging all Pagans to send postcards to our country's leaders to let them know that we are everywhere. Postcards should be mailed during the week of the summer solstice.

Here's the offical release:

--------------

Since summer solstice 2001, PUC has led a post card mailing to Congress, and the President and local officials on each Summer Solstice. We are working to make 2006's I AM' campaign and even grander statement than the previous ones have been.

With this simple and clear message delivered en masse in June, by tens of thousands of Pagans nationwide, we hope to educate our elected officials that many of their constituents are Pagans, so they will not discount our religious freedoms, in their work for the country.

On your post cards simply say "I am a Pagan -fill in the blank-" (i.e. Marine, Mother, Teacher, Police officer, Citizen, etc.) Then Sign the cards with your name and address.

We should all try to sent at least 4 post cards the week of the Summer Solstice in June; one to the President, one to each of our state's two Senators, and one to our district's representative in Congress.

We must stop being invisible and silent! We must speak together and make our united voice ring out clearly, loud and proud, across Lady Liberty's great land!
