Notes from Vegan OutreachThe Plot Against VeganismAs we all know, modern agribusiness makes billions of dollars torturing and butchering animals every year, and is thus motivated to create and disseminate anti-vegetarian propaganda. The media, run by meat-eaters and funded by the advertising dollars from the likes of Tyson and Hormel, are all too happy to help disseminate distortions and lies.

Notes from All OverA Vegetarian in the White HouseAnimal advocate and vegetarian Cass Sunstein has been appointed to head the relatively obscure, yet powerful Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. The regulatory czar, as the position is generally called, is responsible for every regulatory agency in the country, such as the EPA, and will oversee all administration rules. Full story.

Notes from Our Members
Aaron Ross warms the ethics of another Wesley College student; below, Katherine Kekel reveals the truth to another individual at Kennesaw State University. At Merritt College,
a guy stopped in his tracks a few
feet away from me after getting
the booklet, totally engrossed in
it. I went over to him and asked
him if he was alright. He said that
he couldn't handle this kind of
cruelty. I gave him a Guide
and we chatted a few minutes longer.
Earlier, at the University of California,
San Francisco, I met a retired farmer
who thanked me for showing people
how cruelly animals are treated
on factory farms. I have been stocking
cooperative local
establishments with VO booklets,
and I keep some with me at all times.
On my way into NYC this past Sunday
I was on the train when a couple
got on and sat behind me. I was
reading and minding my own business
until I heard the woman begin talking
about a recent trip she had made
to KFC. She said that for some reason
that day, the chicken grossed her
out and she had decided she was
going to stop eating meat. When
we reached our destination I approached
the couple and spoke briefly with
them and offered them each a copy
of Why Vegan, which they
were very happy to receive.
I received your
Compassionate Choices at
the Loyola Chicago campus. It wasn't
full of the typical hysterics. Whoever
is making these is doing an excellent,
balanced job. Please keep up the
good work.

While
leafleting at USF Tampa,
Ariana stopped upon taking a leaflet
saying "Yay I'm vegan!"
After she signed up to join the
student group, she snagged a stack
o' Compassionate Choices
and hit the crowd. She not only
signed up 4 other activists, but
handed out 200 leaflets!
Your
website is the most
intelligent writing I have ever
seen on how to reduce animal suffering.
I want to help you change the world,
so I've set up this
