We're PEOPLE!

These are precarious times, friends. We live in fear, constantly on edge, not knowing who to trust. Rest assured: you can trust us. We are on your side, fighting for your values and striving to protect you from enemies, old and new. In fact, this is why we stand before you today. We have discovered an enemy, one that you might have missed. This enemy may seem unintimidating, but she is quite frightening. This enemy delights our unsuspecting ears, but she poses a threat to our future. Do not be bamboozled!

This enemy is: Katy Perry.

We are rallying against her because of her song "Firework," which not only promotes the use of fireworks, but also the transformation of people into them. In the song, she weaves a web of manipulation, trapping the weak and disenfranchised with her dancy beat and catchy hook. Who is her target? People who have testified to feeling like "plastic bags," "houses of cards," and like they're "buried six feet under." Ones who are too low to defend themselves. For this reason, we must act NOW! Let's walk through this logically.

Fireworks are extremely dangerous. In 2008, 22,500 fires were caused by fireworks. That's $42 million worth of property damage. But that is not the greatest harm they pose to our society. Seven people died and an estimated 7,000 were treated in emergency departments for fireworks-related injuries in the United States. Even worse, 4 out of every 10 of these injuries were children under the age of 15. Worst of all, most of these injuries could have been prevented. If these are the results of USING fireworks, what will be the results when our children BECOME fireworks? Who will think of the children? Not Katy Perry, but will you? How long can you stand there as she encourages our kids to "ignite"?!

This is a grave concern! We are people, not fireworks! Join us in this fight. Print out the picture below put it in your offices, homes and cars. Tell your neighbors.

It is imperative that WE stand united against this assault on this country's future.
