Did you like this movie? Make copies of this
flyer and come back to the theatre and hand them
out. We, the people, can take Tessa’s work to the
finish line. Tessa is still alive in us.
This is a self organizing Grassroots
effort. Big Pharma is using their
advertising clout with newspaper clients to
block this movie's impact.
"This is our opportunity to reach the masses
with positive activism that has the potential of
making the big difference on Capitol Hill.
Our appreciation goes to each and everyone of
you who care
enough about America’s families to duplicate
this flyer and share it throughout your
community and state.”
~ Eileen
Dannemann, director, National Coalition of
Organized Women.
There are two
(2) flyers: One for movie patrons and one for
Politicians and media

Lives”
[PDF 847 k. Requires Adobe Reader]
then follow the steps below:
Before you make copies
of the "Tessa Lives" flyer, insert the name of
your Senators and their contact information,
including FAX numbers, in the space provided on
the flyer. To find out who your U.S. Senators
are go to
http://www.visi.com/juan/congress/ (opens
in new window).
Fax this flyer to your Senators.
Make 100 copies
-- or more if you can afford it for others to
hand out.
If you haven’t seen the movie yet, make
100 copies and attend a matinee this weekend
or next.
Take your
copies to the theatre and hand them out to the
movie patrons after the show at the exit
of the theatre. Shout out-Tessa still Lives!
And hand them the flyer. This is working very
well, because people want Tessa to live.
Encourage people receiving the flyer to see
the film a second time and duplicate this
grassroots effort by also handing out flyers.
As soon as you know when you will be at the
theatre to hand out flyers, call your local
newspaper and radio stations, and email or fax
them a
press release.
Even if the movie is not playing in your
area, send the press release to your local
newspaper with your own personal note of what
you are doing locally to raise awareness.
Resend this email alert to your lists with
an update of your local activism. Download

shakes up Politics and Big Pharma”.

Snail mail and FAX your state's US
Senators as well as your local state legislators.
Follow up with a phone call to your Senators
in Washington, DC.
Write letters to the editor using points
from the flyer and comments on the movie.
If the theatre is located on a public
street you can ask your city/town for a “right to
assembly” permit so you can set up a table and chair.
