The AFA is evil, but I wimped out...

Well, I wimped out. I didn't use Wildmon's engine, but I did send an email to Mr. Hall at sgronb3@hallmark.com:

Mr. Hall:

I understand that Hallmark (and yourself) are currently under immense pressure from the American Family Association over your recent decision to start a line of marriage and matrimony cards to gay and lesbian couples.

I support your decision. It serves a valid market made of men and women who deserve your company's support in expressing their feelings. I'm sure your cards will be as fabulous as they have to be to appeal to such a design-aware market.

E. M. Sternberg, Seattle, WA

You should do the same.

I went ahead and used their form. This is what I sent:

Dear Chairman Hall:

I have long been a customer of Hallmark cards, having found their art and writing to be superior to that of your competitors. I have also been amused by the many varied ways in which you've developed your card lines.

As such, it was with great pleasure that I heard that you are applying your talents to include same-sex relationships in your card lines. Continue the broad-minded and respectful work, and I will continue to care enough to send the very best.

respectfully yours,

Steve Gattuso

P.S.

I'm using that faceache Donald Wildmon's web page to send this, just to help piss off the bastard. As such, this e-mail address is a spam catcher. YA HEAR THAT, DONNY? THPPPPPPPPPPBBBBBBB!!!!!
