Jerry Falwell MEMORIAL, DU style....
As we all know, our good friend Jerry Falwell is in ICU, and may not survive his latest bout of viral pneumonia....

So often, the deaths of true LEADERS catch us all off-guard; so this time we should get ahead of the ball.

Please bookmark this:

https://www.aclu.org/contribute/contribute.cfm

And when that 'dark day' finally comes, and the Rev. Falwell is no more...we can all honor his memory with a contribution to the ACLU in his name!

Personally, I believe that a man like him is VERY deserving of such a heartfelt rememberance.


C'mon, DUers...there's no minimum! We can start an ACLU "Falwell-drive"!

"A Dollar for Jerry"; We can donate more in his name than he EVER donated himself!

Bookmark that PAGE, and wait for the good Rev. to choke on his own lung-fluid...then donate!!
Donate a dollar, donate a dime...ship a jar of coins C.O.D.; Just do it in Jerry's name!

Here's to: Project "FITTING FAREWELL"

"MAKES A GREAT GIFT!!!!"

Sincerely,
Richard

4. I don't want to forget anyone!
If you have deserving groups, post links to their donation pages!

Jerry was such a broad character...we need to send a WIDE range of donations to truly acknowledge his passing!

Post those links, Jamastiene! Post in the name of JERRY!

Links can be found there now. I love this idea. I think this should be called "The Official Falwell Farewell Thread". I nominated this one.

I just thought of another good one to donate to

People For The American Way
aka PFAW

2. Actually the hypocrite
Had the ACLU defend him in something a couple of years back, believe it or not. I can't remember what it was because the utter hypocrisy floored me.

6. Sorry. Here's the link to GMHC: Gay Men's Health Crisis
Edited on Wed Mar-30-05 08:38 AM by terrya
Co-founded in the 1980's by Larry Kramer. A good organization and one that that evil motherfucker Falwell would despise.
