Yesterday I got this note from K with the header "Help Women, Fight Bush":

The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) is the world's largest international source of funding for population and reproductive health programs in developing countries. In addition to promoting reproductive health and family planning, the UNFPA helps to combat maternal deaths during pregnancy and childbirth from diseases that are virtually unknown in developed countries. In July 2002, the Bush Administration withdrew $34 million in funding from the UNFPA, claiming that the money would be used to perform abortions.

Two American women have started a campaign called 34 Million Friends of UNFPA to encourage 34 million individual citizens to donate $1 each to replace the withdrawn funds. Donations are tax deductible, so you can send your tax dollar to do good rather than to do Bush's bidding.

Here's a link that has more information on the UNFPA: http://www.unfpa.org/about/index.htm

I knew there must be a good reason for PayPal.
