This came to me via our fax rep; it appears to have originated in Arlington, TX:
Hope this finds you all well.
Turn On Your Lights for America
As I was driving to work this morning I passed by an elementary school and
noticed that the flag had been lowered to half-mast in memory of the
students
and their families in Littleton, Colorado. What a wonderful gesture that
simple act is. But, I thought to myself, what can I do to show others that
I, too, am deeply affected by this tragedy?
Turn on a light. Turn on my headlights. Turn on my porch light. But how do
I get this message to others? Use the Internet. I*m sending this message to
everyone on my email list and am asking that you do the same.
I am going to turn on my headlights on Friday morning on my way to work, on
Saturday as I run my errands and especially on Sunday as I go to my place
of worship. I'm also going to turn on my porch lights on Friday, Saturday
and
Sunday night I'm going to turn on my lights for the families in Littleton to
show
them that I care about them, that I feel the pain and hurt and heartache.
I'm
going to turn on my lights for what is right about this country. I'm going
to
turn on my lights against the darkness, the anger and the prejudice. I hope
you will join me. One light is not much but put them together and we can
light up the world.
Turn on your lights & show that you stand for what is right about America.
And as you turn on your headlights and porch lights this weekend; turn on
the light in your heart and soul. Show the world that this is not what
America
is all about. With your light shining bright, along with others, we can come
together (if only for a brief moment) and combat the evil that confronts us
all.
Please pass this email on to everyone on your address list. Lets see if we
can get this message to everyone across this great country before Friday
morning and use lets the Internet for what it was intended -- good.
