Project: 1200 is a grassroots movement that uses social activism, creativity, and policy to take a stand against Big Tobacco - an industry that kills 1,200 people every day in the United States and 5 million people worldwide every year.

friday's event? awesome!

i just want to give a big shout out to those of you that came to the rally on friday! YOU ROCK MY SOCKS!
i feel bad for everyone else that didnt make it, because it was so coolio! and for those of you that didnt make it, i thought i would give the DL of what happened.

here goes...
we all met in the parking lot of West High and decorated cars... and... well... two U-HAULS! yeah! we got butcher paper and spray paint and covered those suckers! since the decorating took longer than expected, we had to split up! the two u-hauls, along with most of the drivers, followed a route through the city so that everyone could see our message!!! the rest of us went to the rally site and got the petition going and had signs for people to see, via channel 2 news, trax, driving by, and walking by. i havent counted how many signatures we got, but we did get a few pages full! we even got the kutv security guard to sign (and lets not forget the uta man who kicked us off their property!)

overall, it was a great success! we got lots of attention with the rally, and even more with the caravan! pictures and video will be added shortly, for the full effect of the whole shin-dig. and when they get posted, PLEASE send them to your representative up on capitol hill. let them know that work is being done by the people... and they should do whats right to follow.


and fyi: stories are STILL being collected.
tell about a success story of how you quit, how you got involved in tobacco prevention, or how you lost a loved one due to tobacco (or how they are still alive, but how the suffering hasn't stopped).

thanks, crew!
