Free offer for college students

[Tally]

Are you unhappy about being circumcised? Are you angry? Do you want to do something about the injustice of circumcision?

I have printed up double-sided cards that I distribute. The cards primarily target men and are intended to pique their interest so that they will investigate circumcision and restoration.



I will send about a 100 or so cards to any college student who is willing to distribute the cards on their campus and other places. There is no charge. All I ask is that you use the cards to pass the word. This offer is only for students in the United States and Canada because I do not want to mess with foreign postage requirements.

You can distribute the cards

• on bulletin boards around campus, such as in the student center, in dorms, in the buildings where classes are held
• in locker rooms (I leave one on a bench and inside a few empty lockers every time I go to the gym)
• on lunchroom and cafeteria tables
• in study rooms and in study carrels
• inside magazines in waiting rooms (makes a great bookmark!) (I visited a hospital and wandered the halls leaving cards in various waiting rooms)
• in fast food restaurants (I put them on the counter next to the register so that customers see them but the cashier doesn't)
• to friends and relatives (my wife has a stack that she hands out)
• in gas stations (my local gas station has a plastic holder for advertising/gas credit card applications on top of the gas pump - I slide one in)
• at community events and fairs
• anywhere that you think someone will see the card and investigate

I usually leave only one card at a time. Leave too many and the cards may be considered a nuisance and be targeted for cleanup.

If you want the cards, send me your address in a private message or e-mail me at Tally at RestoringForeskin.org. I will send the cards in an envelope via US Postal Mail. If you want more, just ask. I will replenish your supply at your request.

PS: I thank Tormod for the idea of making info cards.

Great idea Tally. Don't forget to tape one or two in the men's can in hospitals. Especially the men's can on the maternity floor. Maybe one card, just one card will prevent some little boy having to suffer like us.

Targeting college students is a good idea. They're young men who'll likely marry and have sons in the near future.
I suggest leaving them on top of urinals so they can read it while they've got their dick in their hand.

[Yunus]

It is very good idea Bro.

I hope it will be very useful to prevent suffering for little boys or men there.

I'm glad too eventhough the idea won't be working in my country.

Received some in the mail today! My first thought is that these are a wonderful tactical device when facing the more skeptical (and perhaps more suppressed) conversational interlocutors. For example, when introducing the subject I find the thread of the conversation sometimes veers towards questions of my own perversity and general sanity for discussing such a thing in the first place, rather than the truly important questioning of circumcision. In that case, I can politely offer the card, instead of getting into a fruitless debate. The hope is that when alone and unobserved, curiosity will get the better of these kinds of folks and they will venture to their computers and "fall into the rabbit hole."

The cards also give immediate legitimacy to the carrier, in the sense that when they are presented the receiver already knows that there is a serious and professional community behind the card and also a robust body of knowledge and opinion. The more I think about the psychology of the business card, the more I find it to be the perfect medium for breaking that initial barrier.

As for myself, I can now say I am a "card carrying" member of the movement. Thanks Tally!

Just last night, I was starting to plan a type of restoration brochure. But I was doubting my resources at the moment. I still plan to in the future, but for now I see no reason why I shouldn't jump on this opportunity to spread the word with these cards. Small - easy to slip into your pocket. Effective - directly to the point, with links to great informational sites.

I'll be sending a PM shortly. (for the record, I'm 23 and in college.)

I am 19 and in college and I am seriously considering this especially if you just stuff them in an envelope. (Package service is a nuisance.) I really don't want to hand them out to people as everyone would think I am a nut which I want to avoid. I then thought that it would be a good idea to put them in the bathrooms, but housekeeping woudl get those within a day or two. I suppose I cut put them with the napkins in the dining halls. There are plenty of cards there with upcoming events and this would blend right in.

[imahokie]

Thanks Tally.

I'm not sure when they arrived, but I just picked them up in the mailbox today!

[Americut]

Received mine yesterday! Thanks to Tally. I left 2 cards in my main building today. This afternoon, I'll be going back to a different building and leaving a couple there. I hope these cards will change many lives.

EDIT: Got some more out there. On the way home, I stopped for gas. At the store, I realized a great place to leave cards. Men's magazines. Stuff like body building, fishing and cars. If a guy picks up a new issue of a magazine he frequently buys, he probably wont see the card until he gets home and opens it up. This will give him the privacy of his home, to thoroughly inspect the card. I think that might be important to people that are uncomfortable with this debate.

Another place to put these type of cards is in the current magazines in the library. On our campus, we have "family studies" majors, so there are several parenting magazines in the library. Place them in "health" and men's type magazines too.


More young women read the parenting mags then men, more women are in the family studies programs. By placing cards in these mags, in this non-confrontational setting these future mothers might just be curious enough to seek more info.
Women are interested in penises too

I have found that most young, expecting parents simply never consider circumcision, as something to ponder deeply. It is simply something they don't give much thought. This ignorance is further misunderstood by these individuals, in that they "think" they already know how a penis functions and that this mysterious skin is some extra "flap" that serves no purpose and might be a liability for infection.
They need to learn the truth.

People are more likely open to a new idea if they explore and discover it themselves, instead of having someone imposing it on them.

These cards are a great idea, because they are non-confrontational, and allow the recipient to seek out the truth themselves.

kudos tally!
