Dear Amnesty International Supporter,

I’m 87 years old and still going strong for Amnesty International. In fact, I’ve been a member for more than 30 years. Won’t you join me? http://www.kintera.org/TR.asp?a=ekIPK3PMLnK3KmL&s;=eiISJ7MJId...

I’ve been an activist and a volunteer for Amnesty International for several decades now—and I take my responsibilities very seriously.

At my retirement home in Claremont, California, I’ve recruited 150 people to write letters for prisoners of conscience every month. And until a few years ago, I was the oldest Amnesty International “student area coordinator.” I went around to Claremont High School, Whittier High School, and the other high schools and college chapters in Southern California and helped them get set up.

I’m writing today to ask you to join me in supporting Amnesty’s life-saving work: Please renew your membership with Amnesty International today! http://www.kintera.org/TR.asp?a=7dJBLIMkFgJQI2K&s;=eiISJ7MJId... And if you contribute by September 30th, your donation will be DOUBLED by a generous donor!

I’ve put my own money where my mouth is. In fact, I've recently calculated that over the last 30 years, I’ve given more than $15,000 in support of their work! You see, I was a pastor in the United Church of Christ for most of my adult life, so I was never rich—but I had enough and always shared it every year with Amnesty to help all of the courageous people around the world unjustly imprisoned for their beliefs. My donations to Amnesty have helped change the lives of people I’ve never met.

May I ask you to do the same by renewing your membership with a gift of $50, $100, $500, $5,000—whatever’s right for you? http://www.kintera.org/TR.asp?a=aqLHIRNwHjIXKcJ&s;=eiISJ7MJId...

At Amnesty International, we need all the support we can get. Please join me—and renew your membership today.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Ken Coates
Amnesty International member since 1976
