"RIBBONS OF HOPE"
CAMPAIGN
The "Ribbons of Hope" Campaign started right here with all of you on the
Internet. It's our chance to show the world that the people of the Internet
care about missing children. We are going to invite any of you that would
like to join us in Washington D.C. to support the children. We are asking
you to help us make May National Missing Children's Month. We are asking
all of you to display yellow, pink and blue ribbons for the children from
now until May 31. And we are asking those of you that cannot join us in
Washington to hold local "Ribbons of Hope" campaigns at your local malls.
Part of May activities will include:
CANDLE LIGHT VIGIL FOR MISSING CHILDREN
On May 15th, hundreds of parents and family members are going to hold
a Candle Light Vigil in front of the White House for Missing Children. This
is their chance to ask the government, the media, and people around the world
to help these children.
In front of the White House we will all be singing a song whose chorus
is "Who hears the cries of the Little Children." We are hoping for a national
release of this song
We are inviting you to join us at the White House (1600 Pennsylvania Avenue,
Washington, D.C.) on May 15th at twilight to show our support for the missing
children and their families. It appears that a large number of people from
the online community are already making arrangements to come out to show
their support. You are also welcome to attend the International Parental
Abduction Conference May 12th thru the 15th. Please contact
PARENT01@aol.com (Maureen Dabbagh)
for details.

OTHER WAYS TO HELP
ASK OUR SENATORS TO SHOW THEIR SUPPORT
Ask your senators to send a member of their staff to the White House on
May 15th to meet the parents and show the Senators support for the parents
of missing children. Ask them to display a "Ribbon of Hope" on their car
antenna's. And ask them to make May National Missing Children's Month
Email then and say:
Dear Senator; Please show your support for missing children at the Candle
Light Vigil on May 15th, 1999
Detailed email
list of senators, governors etc.
Thanks Dee for this great graphic!
HAND OUT FLYERS AND RIBBONS AT LOCAL
MALLS
We are also asking that during May, people all over the country (you),
try to help get National media for the kids by going to local malls and handing
out flyers. You can contact office supply stores such as Office Depot, Staples
and others and ask them if they will donate 500 to a thousand flyers for
missing children (most will say yes). Ask local stores if they will donate
some yellow, pink and blue ribbon so you can make ribbons to hand out. Contact
your local mall and ask them to allow you to set up a booth to hand the flyers
and ribbons out, sometime in the middle of May. Contact your local reporters
and tell them that as part of a national effort to help missing children,
you will be handing out flyers and "Ribbons of Hope" at the local mall on
such and such a date and time. Ask them to come out and cover your efforts,
as part of a national story. When you have all of this arranged please contact
(BaddTeddy@aol.com) and we will put you on
a list of people that will be on TV helping the kids. When this list is big
enough, we will begin forwarding the list to the NATIONAL MEDIA as part of
a national story on our "Ribbons of Hope" campaign to help the kids...
DISPLAY BLUE, PINK
AND YELLOW RIBBONS
During May we are asking people around the world to place
Blue (For Boys), Pink
(for Girls) and Yellow Ribbons (Signifying missing person) on their
car antenna's, mail boxes, etc ... to show their support for the parents
of missing children. Simply put these ribbons in places where others are
apt to see them.
Out of ribbons? Use yellow, pink and blue balloons.
