Subject: Media Cards 3 cents apiece!
We have created a series of 5 glossy cards that expose the media distortion on Palestine and discuss the causes of this distortion:
http://www.ifamericansknew.org/media/clues.html
These can be given out at events, placed on car windshields, posted on bulletin boards, put in cafes, handed out at vigils, used in tabling, given to friends and neighbors, etc.
We believe that the distortion in the US media is the greatest obstacle to peace and justice in the Middle East. Therefore, we are subsidizing a project where we are making these cards available to people at 3 cents apiece — minimum order 50 (ten of each card).
Please let us know how many you can distribute!
It will take all of us to overcome the information blockade on Palestine. This is something tangible to do about it!
To order these send an email to orders@ifamericansknew with "Clue Cards" in the subject line. In your message tell us how many cards you want and give us your mailing address. You can pay online at http://www.ifamericansknew.org/about_us/donate.html or by sending a check payable to "If Americans Knew" to the address below.
Thank you for helping us give the facts to the American people.
Best wishes,
Alison Weir
