My pets ate the recalled food, but are ok after testing. Should I still send the cards just stating that they were affected by the food? This is a great idea!

this idea is beautiful.

i understand the importance of focusing on this one act, following it just as you have planned.

this is necessary.

we are sending a message with impact that says, “you can’t ignore us now!” because you and many others are receiving all of these thousands of postcards on (or close to) the same day!

i also want to say, after reading thru these posts and so many other posts on itchmo’s forum and thepetfoodlist.com forum, for so many weeks now… i’ve noticed something very sweet… i am so impressed by us, companions and caretakers of animals… through intense emotions, misunderstandings, hurt, anger, tragic grief… we consistently express respect and kindness to each other.

i genuinely believe there is something special and loving about an animal-lover’s heart that has brought us all together thru these devastating times.

i have (to have) faith that we have begun and will continue to have a powerful, durable impact. …. changes are a-comin’!

Or heck, if you want to do something that will have NO impact whatsoever then go right ahead. For this one thing we are doing for what is happening IN TWO DAYS we need everyone, yes, YOU, to please focus, for 15 minutes if that is all you can devote to this then that will be fine, please go post the notice of the blitz that is happening in two days post it to newsgroups if they allow that send to your friends to post and when this postcard blitz has succeeded, we want your ideas at itchmo forums link is right up on top of this section you are reading. please, for today , for this thing that we all want, don't make our work go for nothing by diluting our efforts. I am trying to be nice about this, two or twenty postcards just will not work to get anything done. Helping us get this set some publicity will work. Please, do not send a postcard to Oprah until this is organized for next week.

She has dogs and loves animals! Great idea! I hope she exposes all those who killed pets for the almighty dollar. Getting Oprah on this story is perfect. She has dogs and loves animals! Great idea!

PLEASE - if you haven't done so already, spread the word about the post card blitz link here and the Itchmo forum link to any pet parent friends, pet email lists, your vet, other well read pet food recall blogs - anyone you can think of. This campaign will only work if the PTB receive post cards en masse. The same will apply once Stage 2: the stuffed animals campaign, gets implemented. It only takes a few minutes to cc friends and pet email lists with these links. Help spread the word so our pet's voices can be heard AND to ensure not ONE pet's death has been in vain. Thanks again to everyone who has helped thus far. All of you ROCK! Those TWO days are a’comin’ fast folks!

Please go get the address for the Oprah show and bring it over itchmo forum , the link for that is at the top of this section you just posted in, the postcard blitz section, and we will do something next week so maybe we will put Oprah at the top of the list. Go get that address please and then you can help us work on the wording of the postcard. We need more than good ideas here, we need action , and the word about this postcard blitz needs to get out because the cards are to be mailed in TWO days. Issy, we would love to use your idea .

She thinks without sponsers she's washed up, but really without her audience she's in big trouble. I’ll second the motion for Oprah getting postcards too - just to let her know we’re watching.
