give our leaders a backbone

The horrific Gulf Spill disaster has clearly shown that our nation’s leaders need us to show them what it means to have a backbone. So let’s do just that — let’s send one directly to President Obama, Vice President Biden, and each and every member of Congress and the House of Representatives.

For every donation of $10 we’ll send President Obama or a member of Congress a spine with your name on it.

Along with a toy spine sent in your name, we can also include an optional statement from you, to our leaders, about what you’re doing in your life to kick the fossil fuel habit. We’ll be documenting our backbone shipments in pictures and videos that will be uploaded to the PCI Facebook page, so keep an eye out on this campaign’s progress.
