Dear Mary,

I am writing you to encourage you to help spread the word on this global youth essay contest designed to inoculate young people a bit from the appeals of extreme religious radicalism. In a mere several days the response has been enormous, entirely global, and very much to the liking of teens and young adults. I attach the press release from the renowned Don Lehr of NYC. I am here today on July 4th handling a radio interview already that will go live to 58 nations.

I ask you to help save a few lives – just read about this on the url below and merely “Forward” this email to at least five people of influence in education, media, public opinion, etc. As you know, the Institute, founded in 2001, has a global following including an e-newsletter that if read by 860,000 +, and has gained special appeal in the middle east. For this reason, our website was among the first several hacked by ISIS team DZ last year.

On Facebook, in a mere three days, 27,000 + reached 9000+ “likes” and building on the contest, mostly from young people in the middle east and India. https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Institute-for-Research-on-Unlimited-Love/226619767528513?ref=hl
I am asking for your help to make this essay contest a global success. This may be one of the potentially successful “nonkilling” approaches that everyone knows we need worldwide, one that focuses on the gift of the mind in young people.

Thanks.
