...of course, of course!

This really has nothing to do with the mission statement here at PowerPop, but the other day I got the following headsup from my old pal Jim Gath (a college roommate, if you must know) and obviously, I had to pass it along.

Jim's been doing something really wonderful for the last couple of years at a place called the Tierra Madre Horse Sanctuary, and the following is both self-explanatory and for a really good cause.

Here's a modest little win/win proposition for you.....

We've put together a real nice DVD called The Horses of Tierra Madre. It's only a few minutes long, but in it, you'll get to meet all the "kids" and hear about a number of them. You'll also learn a lot about this place and how and why we do what we do.

That's a bit of a win right there, isn't it? To be able to spend a few minutes with some really nice horses.

You'll also kind of win by being able to deduct the $20 (post-paid) donation we're asking for it from your taxes. Unless, of course, you enjoy bailing out multi-billion-dollar banks.

We'll win by being able to use your donations toward hay and supplements and medicines and everything else the horses of Tierra Madre need on a daily basis.

It's easy, too. You can simply go to the PayPal feature on our website -- www.tierramadrehorsesanctuary.org -- and don't worry, there's not a particular place to order the DVD. We'll just know that any $20 is for your DVD and take it from there.

Natch, you can also send a check through the mail.

There are 32 horses -- and one skinny grey-haired guy -- who would appreciate it very much. And I guarantee you'll enjoy it. Or your money back.

Thanks!

Here's a little teaser from the aforementioned video. And if this doesn't put a lump in your throat, seek immediate medical attention.



Anyway, go over to the website and give Jim and the horses some love. And tell him PowerPop sent you.
