I Stopped In Planned Parenthood To Deliver $300 Collected At The American Atheist Convenion
Posted by Phil Ferguson on March 28th, 2012 – 8 Comments – Posted in Women's RightsI drove over to Planned Parenthood to deliver the money collected at the American Atheist Convention – almost $300. I stepped up to the window and placed the giant roll of money on the counter. I told them that I collected it at a convention and wanted to know if I could get a picture for my blog.
The lady at the counter called for her boss and said something like, “he’s here!” I did not tell anyone I was on my way there so I was quite shocked by the sudden rush of activity behind the bullet proof glass. They were very happy to see me and buzzed me through the thick security door. I was stunned and a little confused but I went in to deliver the donation. It appears that my previous donations have caused quite a stir. I have been bugging the protestors outside and then going in to give $10 per protestor. I tell the protestors that I am giving money because they are there.
Well, it appears that this has not only upset the fundies outside more than I could have ever imagined but the local staff loves it. They kept thanking me over and over and one lady almost started crying. They told their district manager what I was doing and some corporate types asked them to get my info if I come in again. They want to talk to me and may try to do it in other locations. WOW! Was I shocked. I will let you know if we ever have a meeting.
I gave them my contact info and took this picture. Note the giant roll of money! Thanks to all of the donors from the convention!
Phil,
That made me feel so good I read it twice. You are making a real difference in the world. Go man go.
Wow! They look so grateful – looks like you made some new friends! Did you tell them which convention it came from?
This makes me so extremely happy. Keep up the great work, Phil!
Good, now the Federal gov’t can stop giving them money, as they can clearly count on the support of private donors.
*Applause*
Lots of it. This made my day.
@ Sarah,
Yes I did and the roll of money had my godless wristbands on.
@ Dan,
Yeah, now with the $300 they won’t need any more money to help all those pesky women.
Great job, Phil. You may have invented a really useful meme there!
I am grateful for people like you in this world. You give me hope. Thanks.
