NCSF Action Alert

Folsom Street Fair needs your help!

October 12, 2007 - The Catholic League, Concerned Women for
America and Americans for Truth have called for a boycott of
Miller Brewing Company because they are one of the sponsors of
Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco -
www.folsomstreetfair.com (http://www.folsomstreetfair.com)  "Miller is sponsoring an incredibly
outrageous and palpably anti-Christian event," said Bill Donohue,
president of the Catholic League.

Miller is feeling the heat, and we need you to email Miller
Brewing Company and thank them for their continued support of the
Folsom Street Fair. Please congratulate them for not caving in to
pressure to cancel their sponsorship of the Fair. And please tell
them you're glad to buy their products in appreciation for their
support of the largest SM-Leather-Fetish event in America!

NCSF and ITCR: The Foundation of NCSF strongly encourage you to
support Miller Brewing and Folsom Street Fair by emailing:

Julian Green
Miller Spokesman
green.julian@mbco.com

Sample letter:

Dear Mr. Green,

I wanted to write and commend you for your continued support of
the Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco. I understand you've been
the target of religious extremists who have attacked you, and I
wanted to tell you that I will proudly continue to purchase
Miller Brewing products because of your support for diversity and
freedom of expression.

signed,
your name
