Hello, If this is the first time you are receiving this request from the Mustard Seed Project to send a letter asking a corporation to stop funding Planned Parenthood, it doesn't take long. You can use one of the form letters below or write your own letter, using points from the letters below. Save your letter to use again next month, then just change the addressee and date. EVERY SINGLE LETTER MAKES A DIFFERENCE. To date, over 180 corporations have agreed to stop funding Planned Parenthood. Please continue your magnificent work! Good news!! Color Me Mine, the paint your own pottery studio, has been removed from the boycott list. Planned Parenthood (PP) has received billions from the federal government over the years. This year they received over $335 million from the federal government alone. Those dollars would do a lot to help people who are losing their jobs because of the economic downturn. In addition to being the world's largest abortion provider, PP does many other evil things: PP was caught violating the Born Alive Infant Protection Act which requires that infants who survive abortions must be provided medical care. PP routinely commits infanticide. See http://www.eyeblast.tv/public/video.aspx?v=e46UqG8zSU PP does not always follow the law on reporting statutory rape. See http://www.all.org/stopp/wsr070530.htm and scroll down. See PP of AZ's violation of the statutory rape law at http://www.liveaction.org/monalisa/tucson PP supports partial-birth abortion and rejects safety regulations at abortion facilities. PP sued the state of Missouri to prevent a law requiring abortion facilities to ensure the safety of women, saying it would cost $600,000 and they can't afford it. We are happy to report that PP lost the suit. Another offensive web site from PP: www.takecaredownthere.org Again PP sent a 13-year-old for an abortion across state lines, hiding the abortion from her parents and sending her back to the statutory rapist: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/2113345/indiana_planned_parenthood_covers_up_sexual_abus e_of_13_year_old/ PP is also charged with causing the defeat of the California referendum requiring parents be notified before their minor daughter can obtain an abortion.

Holliday, Jr. Chairman & CEO E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. 1007 Market Street Wilmington, DE 19898 Dear Mr. Holliday: Life Decisions International has placed the du Pont Company on a pro-life boycott list because of your support of Planned Parenthood. You may wish to reconsider contributing to Planned Parenthood because they do not always report the statutory rape of young girls who visit their facilities. Below are examples. Arizona: A 12-year-old girl was raped and then aborted. PP did NOT report the crime. The same girl was taken to PP six months later for another abortion and that time PP did report. The rapist was arrested and convicted. The girl sued Planned Parenthood, and a judge ruled that PP was negligent for not initially reporting the rape. California: An 11-year-old girl told PP she was raped, but asked PP not to tell anyone. The law requires, regardless of the girl’s desires, that when an 11-year-old is raped, it must be reported. PP featured a letter from the girl on its web site praising PP for keeping the rape secret. Ohio: A 16-year-old-girl was forced to have an abortion at PP. She told PP that her father was abusing her. PP did not report the abuse and the father continued to rape the girl for 18 months. The girl filed a lawsuit against PP for refusing to report the rapes. The same Planned Parenthood affiliate is being sued for not reporting the rape of a 14-year-old girl by her soccer coach. See http://hotair.com/archives/2008/04/14/hannity-planned-parenthood-covered-up-statutoryrape/. Connecticut: A 22-year-old man was arrested for impregnating and having a 14-year-old aborted three times in six months. Newspaper reports say it was the girl’s mother who alerted authorities, not the abortion facility. California: In San Francisco a 13-year-old was aborted, but Planned Parenthood did not report the sexual abuse and it continued for another 7 months until her mother found out. North Carolina: The PP cover-up of statutory rape can be seen at: http://www.studentsforlife.org/. Indiana: PP received a reprimand from the state (August 2008) for failing to provide information required on reports. The PP coverup of statutory rape can be seen at: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/2113345/indiana_planned_parenthood_covers_up_sexual_abus e_of_13_year_old/ Arizona: PP has been caught again failing to report statutory rape: http://www.liveaction.org/monalisa/tucson. Life Dynamics of Denton, Texas did a telephone survey of PP abortion facilities and found that 90% of them would cover up and not report the sexual abuse of statutory rape. They found that when a child predator takes a young girl he has impregnated to PP for an abortion, it will not be reported and the predator will be free to continue abusing the minor. See http://www.childpredators.com/ for recordings of the survey calls. Please consider donating to organizations which always observe the law with regard to sexual predators. It is noteworthy that Planned Parenthood promotes degrading instructions for teens. See www.takecaredownthere.org for their approach. Do you want your company to have the reputation of contributing to an organization that endorses child pornography? South Dakota passed a law that requires abortionists to tell women the truth that an abortion will "terminate the life of a whole, separate, unique, living human being". See sonograms of preborn babies at http://www.yourdevelopingbaby.com/sampleChapters/7.htm including a dancing fetus. Planned Parenthood said the law was "unconstitutional". Unconstitutional to tell women the truth? Sincerely, (Name/address) _________________________________________________________________________ March 11, 2009 Mr. Charles O. Holliday, Jr. Chairman & CEO E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. 1007 Market St. Wilmington, DE 19898 Dear Mr. Holliday: Life Decisions International has placed the du Pont Company on a pro-life boycott list because of your support of Planned Parenthood. Newly released data reveals that for the 2006-2007 fiscal year, Planned Parenthood committed 289,650 surgical abortions, had over a billion dollars of revenue, $112 million profit and received $336 million in federal funds. Planned Parenthood has received $4.2 billion (yes, that’s billion) in taxpayer funds since 1987. Planned Parenthood spends $48 million a year on sex education programs in an effort to entice children into sexual activity (e.g. www.teenwire.com and a book, "It's Perfectly Normal", for children as young as ten) without parental guidance or any idea of the morality of the sexual activity. The book has been called pornographic. See: http://www.cwfa.org/articles/6122/CFI/family/index.htm). PP has introduced another offensive website www.takecaredownthere.org that degrades teens. Over four million babies have died in Planned Parenthood facilities. Planned Parenthood has located almost 80% of their abortion facilities in black neighborhoods, and black women have 35% of the abortions in the US. So Planned Parenthood has killed over 1.3 million black babies. Planned Parenthood is a very successful business, but it is a disaster for America. It contributes to the spread of debilitating diseases, has killed more people than currently live in many of our states, and has done it all under the guise of a "charitable" organization with 39 percent of its funding coming from our taxes. Do you want your company to have the reputation of contributing to an organization that endorses child pornography? Please stop supporting Planned Parenthood. South Dakota passed a law that requires abortionists to tell women the truth that an abortion will "terminate the life of a whole, separate, unique, living human being".

Please Do! - Planned Parenthood by Matt Barber September 1, 2008 Planned Parenthood, the billion dollar corporate abortion mill, has taken indecency to a whole new level and is using your taxpayer dollars to do so. The organization, which is responsible for the abortion deaths of tens of millions of people, was founded in 1916 by admitted whitesupremacist Margaret Sanger, with the lofty goal of, as Sanger put it, eliminating "the ever increasing, unceasingly spawning class of human beings who never should have been born at all." Lest there be any doubt as to whom, exactly, Sanger was referring to, she also wrote: "We do not want the word to go out that we (Planned Parenthood) want to exterminate the Negro population." Sorry, Maggie. Word’s out. Although Planned Parenthood’s primary mission is detestable beyond words and remains unchanged still today, its secondary goal, if left in a vacuum, is not so sinister. That is, of course, to make lots and lots of money. But here’s what is sinister. In order to make lots and lots of money, Planned Parenthood, just like any other "service provider," needs lots and lots of customers, and the best way to get those customers is to promote the very behaviors which create them. Specifically, to manipulate kids – under the guise of so-called "comprehensive sex education" – to engage in promiscuous, casual sex as soon and as often as possible. It’s simple supply and demand. Planned Parenthood encourages the behaviors which create the demand and then dutifully offers its deadly supply. To that end, Planned Parenthood has created a new promotional Web site that targets youth. It’s called "Take Care Down There" (www.takecaredownthere.org). It features short, near pornographic "public service" video vignettes which, among other things, promote casual sex, immodesty, homosexuality and even group sex. For example, in perfect keeping with its demonstrably racist, loosey-goosey sexual tradition, one of the Planned Parenthood videos depicts what appears to be a teenage African-American male relegated to performing oral sex – in public – on a white teenage male. Another white male (a creepy adult authority figure who seems just a little too interested) walks up and begins giving instructions. The white teenager then says, "I didn’t even spew." In another vignette, a teenage girl appears to drop her pants – again in public – exposing her privates in front of two other girls and the same African-American male. She then asks them, "Do you see anything down there?" referencing potential evidence of sexually transmitted disease. Of course, based on her cavalier sexual attitude and tart immodesty (or is that immodest tart?) the odds strongly favor the likelihood that she does, in fact, have something "down there." So why does Planned Parenthood’s latest vulgar foray into the corruption of America’s youth concern you? Simple – you're paying for it. Consider the following information compiled by Liberty Counsel: Planned Parenthood has been receiving federal funding under the Title X Family Planning Program, enacted in 1970 as Title X of the Public Health Services Act. Section 1008 of the Act, as amended, stipulates that "None of the funds appropriated under this title shall be used in programs where abortion is a method of family planning," yet Planned Parenthood is nevertheless receiving funds under this federal program. During the 2006-2007 fiscal year, Planned Parenthood received a total of $336.7 million from government grants and contracts (that’s your taxpayer dollars). In 2008, $300 million was given to family planning clinics, under the Title X program. These funds were used to service over five million people, a third of which received "care" from a Planned Parenthood clinic. On October 27, 2007, a coalition of leaders from dozens of conservative groups, including Liberty Counsel, Concerned Women for America, Focus on the Family, the American Family Association and more, signed a joint letter calling for the defunding of Planned Parenthood, after revelations of the abortion giant’s alleged systematic violation of Kansas state law came to light. Senator David Vitter (R-LA) and Representative Mike Pence (R-IN) have both introduced legislation that would prevent Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers from receiving taxpayer dollars in the future. While commenting on Planned Parenthood’s latest abuse of taxpayer dollars, Attorney Mathew Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel, stated, "Planned Parenthood has now given the federal government yet another reason to stop funding this racist, eugenic, and immoral organization. "Why should hardworking Americans pay to support Planned Parenthood’s profiteering sex agenda, that encourages teenage sex on the one hand and then profits by aborting the consequences of such promiscuity on the other hand? Planned Parenthood’s Web site is offensive and, frankly, shocks the conscience. It is insane that we allow our tax dollars to fund such an irresponsible and destructive organization. We must stop funding Planned Parenthood and we must stop now!" True, indeed. Beyond its stated mission to cleanse the world of "human beings who never should have been born at all," Planned Parenthood’s primary purpose is to promote promiscuity among youth in order to line its pockets, plain and simple. There’s a clear conflict of interest here. When kids engage in risky sexual behaviors, Planned Parenthood wins. Why else would it be promoting casual sex, homosexuality and group sex? It’s like the tobacco industry showing kids how fun and exciting it is to smoke cigarettes, and then telling them, with a wink, "But always smoke safely." We wouldn't allow Joe Camel access to our kids on the taxpayer dime; neither should we give Margaret "The Reaper" Sanger and her Planned Parenthood brood such taxpayer-funded access. ______________________________________________________________________________ _________________ There are two types of stem cells: those that treat and cure people (adult) and those that help only politicians and researchers (embryonic).
