October
2004: The free sticker offer is temporarily closing
down again. Please do
not send
any more requests for free stickers via the mail or e-mail
until further notice. Envelopes postmarked any later
than October 2004 will not be honored, and your postage
will be used to send
kindness to strangers.
"Why Lauren", you ask "are you not offering
stickers right now?" Well, the main reason is that the
popularity of the offer has skyrocketed and I'm receiving
more envelopes than I can afford (monetarily or time-wise)
to fill. The secondary reason is that my patience is
being tested by people who don't follow the few simple
rules.
All I ask is that you follow the rules and I'll send
you some free stickers and other goodies, but that seems
to be too much for a lot of people.
In case you didn't read this part all ready, you can
get
stickers directly from PETA for cheaper than the cost
of postage
to send me an SASE. Packs of stickers start
at $1 with no shipping fees, and postage to me costs
between .74 and $1.48. Plus, they can respond to your
inquiries faster than I can, so if you're here looking
for cheap tools
for animal activism, I can not stress
enough how much you should be contacting
PETA! Also, Vegan
Outreach is a great website if you
are a new vegan looking for info or want information
that doesn't come from PETA. Their literature is excellent
and you can either download it for free, or order some
to pass out. I know how hard it can be to put your money
where your mouth is, but consider how a small amount
of money can make such a difference. Don't go out to
eat for one month and save about $10-$50 and spend that
on vegan literature. Passing out those brochures and
flyers can mean more people adopting cruely-free lifestyles
and saving tons of animal lives. Your few bucks
can really save lives!
Until later,
Lauren
Here's
how to get your free stickers (when
the offer starts again):
1) Send
a Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope (SASE)
with sufficient postage to cover the amount of stickers
you plan to use. (1 stamp will get 1 oz. of stickers,
and 2 stamps will get 2 oz.) Please, no more than
3 stamps, so that everyone gets a chance to take
advantage
of the offer. Try not to use the really small envelopes!
Please also write my return address on the the SASE,
as that saves me loads of time and
writer's cramp! (Not sure what a SASE is? Here's
a diagram for you youngins'.)
2) Send
me an e-mail and
tell me how you plan to use these stickers, but
don't wait for a reply. I don't have
time to write everybody back, so just send your e-mail
and then send your envelope. (I absolutely
promise not to send you spam or tattle on you. I'm
just
trying
to chart how and where these stickers will be used.)
Extra brownie points if you remember to say please
and thank you : ) And if you happen to have a digital
camera, take pictures of your guerilla activism
and
e-mail them to me to post here!
3) No really, did you remember step
2? At the top of this page is a list of people who
only did 1
of the 2 steps required, and as such, will not be receiving
any free stickers. Don't let this happen to you! I'm
only sending out items to people who tell me (via e-mail
or an included letter) how they will be using
the stickers. (The logic goes, if you are incapable
of taking the time to write me a few sentences, you're
probably incapable of taking the time to actually post
these stickers/flyers/brochures in visible places.)
4) No need to e-mail me asking "can
I get some stickers?" or asking if the offer is still
valid. YES, you can get stickers if you are;
located in the USA, provide 1-3 stamps on a SASE, are
an individual
(not requesting on behalf of an organization), promise
to post these stickers in visible places, and e-mail
me your plans for use of the stickers. I gets
tons of e-mail about this offer, and answering the
same questions repeatedly takes a lot of time. Please
help me out by reading the above. Thanks!

they may mention:
