Pagans?

PDI · Post by **PDI** » Fri Feb 16, 2001 9:46 am

Just got this in the mail, thuoght I'd share it...
> Date: 2.9.01
> From: Pagan Unity Campaign Political Action
> Committee (PUC PAC)
> Subj: I Am Project
> Dist: Please Distribute Unedited Copies Freely
>
> Today, the Pagan Unity Campaign Political Action Committee (PUC PAC)
> announced the start of a new political awareness project for Americans
who
> follow one of the many diverse religions of Paganism.
>
> Broadly defined, Paganism is a life-affirming, positive, Earth-centric
> religion. Many in mainstream American culture wrongly believe that
Paganism
> is associated with Satanism or devil worship. "We do not even believe in
> Satan. That is part of the Judeo-Christian faith", says Storm Bear
Williams,
> Chief Political Strategist for the PUC PAC.
>
> The I Am Project is an effort to introduce Pagans to their elected
officials
> in local, state and federal governments. The Project works like this -
> Pagans from across the country get a postcard that has a picture of their
> city, favorite local museum or other local scene and write on the back;
"I
> am a Pagan ____." The blank can be anything like Mother, Son, Veteran,
> Banker, Cook, Teacher, etc.
>
> To give all the postcards a more cohesive message, Mr. Williams had some
> suggestions. "We are asking all volunteers to add the PUC PAC tag line;
'I
> am free. We are united.' to the bottom of each card. This will be the
glue
> for all the cards. Also we suggest that everyone stick to the single
> sentence 'I am a Pagan ____.' format. If you are a Mother and a teacher,
> then send in two cards! Lastly, use your return address as your privacy
> needs warrant. For those in the community who are safely out of the
closet,
> please use your real name and full return address. If you need to remain
in
> the closet, consider using your initials and ZIP code. We would
appreciate
> everyone at least including their ZIP code on each card. It is important
for
> the politicians to know that the sender is actually in their district."
>
> When a member of Congress gets several thousand postcards with scenes
from
> their HOME district, the impact is much more personal. If everyone sends
in
> a generic postcard or cards with the same picture on them, the impact of
the
> campaign is greatly reduced. The Pagan community needs to divert itself
away
> from negative stereotypes and show their existence and positive
> contributions to their communities.
>
> The Project will culminate with all Pagans sending in their cards with a
> postmark during the week of the Summer Solstice, June 18 - 23, 2001. We
ask
> that everyone mail them at the same time for maximum political and
> psychological impact.
>
> The I Am Project is just the first of several postcard campaigns that
the
> PUC PAC is planning. Other messages will center on freedom, liberty and
> finish up with a voter awareness campaign that will conclude shortly
before
> the Congressional elections in 2002.

If you are supposed to send in a seperate post card for each thing you are (apart from Pagan), how many were you going to send, Scix? Like 50? You big, ol', multi-faceted thing, you <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/biggrin.gif">------------------

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I ache for the touch of your lips, dear,
But much more for the touch of your whips, dear.
You can raise welts
Like nobody else,
As we dance to the Masochism Tango.Let our love be a flame, not an ember,
Say it's me that you want to dismember.
Blacken my eye,
Set fire to my tie,
As we dance to the Masochism Tango.At your command
Before you here I stand,
My heart is in my hand...
Yeech!
It's here that I must be.My heart entreats,
Just hear those savage beats,
And go put on your cleats
And come and trample me.Your heart is hard as stone or mahogany,
That's why I'm in such exquisite agony.
My soul is on fire,
It's aflame with desire,
Which is why I perspire when we tango.You caught my nose
In your left castanet, love,
I can feel the pain yet, love,
Ev'ry time I hear drums.And I envy the rose
That you held in your teeth, love,
With the thorns underneath, love,
Sticking into your gums.Your eyes cast a spell that bewitches.
The last time I needed twenty stitches
To sew up the gash
That you made with your lash,
As we danced to the Masochism Tango.Bash in my brain,
And make me scream with pain,
Then kick me once again,
And say we'll never part.I know too well
I'm underneath your spell,
So, darling, if you smell
Something burning, it's my heart... [hiccup]
'Scuse me!Take your cigarette from its holder,
And burn your initials in my shoulder.
Fracture my spine,
And swear that you're mine,
As we dance to the Masochism Tango.you can find <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/quentncree/lehrer/" TARGET=_blank>tom lehrer song lyrics on the web</A>, too...------------------
