Dear Fast Supporters and Friends,

I first want to say THANK YOU for all the overwhelming support we have received thus far. The Five Day Fast to Let Iraq Live is going quite well and the fasters are keeping up their spirits and resistances. This is especially due to the help and support we've been getting from friends and strangers alike. As of Monday night, we already had more than 80 well-wishers visit us at the Site. You have no idea what this means to all of us...it really keeps us going through the rain and cold, as do your generous offerings of water, warm clothes, candles, flowers, books, inspiring words - EVERYTHING! You are truly making this happen with us.

But - your work is not yet done. In order to get/keep this on the radar screen of local and regional media, we need you to CALL TV STATIONS and ask that they give us coverage.

Specifically, ask them to come to the Fast Site on 2nd at San Carlos in San Jose to:

- Interview us...we are there 24 hours a day from now until Friday night so they have no excuses!

- Cover our PRESS CONFERENCE Wednesday, 12/18 at Noon

- Join our CLOSING CEREMONY Friday, 12/20 at 5:30pm

Please call:

KCBS -- (408) 436-5820
KTVU 2 -- (408) 383-0220 ask for Lloyd Lacuesta
KTVU 2 -- (510) 874-0242
KRON 4 -- (415) 561-8000 or (415) 561-8905
KPIX 5 -- (415) 765-8717
KGO 7 -- (415) 954-7321
KNTV -- (408) 297-8780
KDTV -- (408) 437-1414
KSTS -- (408) 435-8848

They can contact Patricia at 314-494-9700 or 831-238-0461. Friends, this really will make a huge difference if they receive tons of calls!

Also - keep spreading the word - tell your friends, colleagues, families, parishes, etc and encourage folks to stop by and visit us. It really makes a world of difference to receive warmth and encouragement from friends and allies.

Thank again for all your support. Together, we are doing this!

Sincerely,
Patricia Adams
Coordinator, Five Day Fast to Let Iraq Live
