1.2 million signatures -- now what?
Here's how you can help in next 6 months to get Sarah's Law passed:
1.) Distribute bumper stickers, yard signs, T-shirts, campaign buttons, church bulletin
flyers. We need to make Sarah's Law a household word in Calif. before the Fall campaign
begins. Please email us your name, address, email and how many materials you could distribute: info@FriendsofSarah.com
And by early
July we will have bulletin inserts to go to as many churches as possible in July.
2.) Help us build up our email list. Send us lists of email addresses of your friends,
relatives, co-workers, or friends from church or other groups. Our Friends of Sarah
email list is about 700. We would like to build to 7000, so we can build a strong
grassroots effort in California. We would send only messages with substance, and
no more frequently than once a week.
3.) Help us set up speaking events at your local PTA or service clubs (Kiwanis,
Rotary, etc.). This is a movement to bring families together and stop child predators--
even those with no religious motives should be interested.
4.) Make your own TV ad. With YouTube technology, anyone can make a 30- or 60-second
ad-- use the story of a young girl you know, make a spoof of arguments from the
other side, use animation, use materials already on the FriendsofSarah.com and dramatize
them. Friends of Sarah is offering $1000 for the best YouTube video to promote Sarah's
Law submitted by June 15, 2008. $500 for 2nd and 3rd place, and $250 for four honorable
mentions. Email us the url of your YouTube submission, your name, address, and background
information on the YouTube entry.
5.) Social networking. If you have a MySpace, Facebook, or similar accounts, use
these to drive visitors to the Friends of Sarah website.
We welcome any suggestions about making our website

The Problem
In California, a girl under 18 years can't
get a flu shot, a cavity filled, or an aspirin dispensed
by the school nurse without a parent knowing
BUT a doctor can perform a surgical or
chemical abortion on a minor girl (under 18)
without informing her parents.
The Solution
Sarah's Law will require that a physician notify a
parent (or, in the case of an abusive parent, an adult
family member, such as an Aunt or Grandparent,
can be notified) at least 48 hours before performing
an abortion on a minor girl under the age of 18.
- On a daily basis, older men exploit young girls and then use secret abortions to cover
up their crimes of statutory rape.
- More than 30 states currently have Parental Notification Laws.
- States which have Parental Notification Laws have experienced reductions in
pregnancies and abortions among minor girls.
- Parents know their daughters needs best. They know her medical history. Shouldn't a
parent, or other adult family member, be involved when a young teen is facing an
unplanned pregnancy? If you say YES!.......

New academic study shows positive results of parental involvement laws in protecting young girls from dangerous sexual activity
The researchers found that teen gonorrhea rates dropped by an average of 20 percent for
Hispanic girls and 12 percent for white girls in states where parental notification laws were in effect.
