ALERT: ZIONISTS ATTACK ATX FOR SUPPORTING AL-AWDA!

Dear Friends,

Following the announcement that ATX, one of the top six telecommunication
companies in the world, will donate to Al-Awda 5% of the cost of all long
distance calls made by Al-Awda members and supporters who switch their long
distance service to that company, Zionist organizations in the US have
threatened to call for a boycott of ATX unless the company cancels its
support of Al-Awda. We understand that ATX will not do so at the present
time.

ATX is taking a brave stand and deserves our support.

Therefore, we urge everyone who supports Al-Awda's mission for Palestinian
rights to join others and switch their long-distance service to ATX as soon
as possible.

HOW TO SWITCH YOUR SERVICE:

To switch your service to ATX, or for more information, call toll free in
the US 1-888-731-3421.  Alternatively you may email GWood-AT-ATX.com.  Please
indicate that you are with Al-Awda.

Also, please send a message to Al-Awda-ATX-AT-mail.com to inform us when you've
changed your service to ATX.

How will the ATX Contribution help Al-Awda?

As of now, more than 30 Al-Awda grassroots action committees have been
established worldwide. All of these action committees are dedicated to the
goals of peace, justice and the Palestine refugee's right to return.  Most
of these committees are, however, operating on zero budgets covering their
costs with donations from their own members. Changing your long distance
service to ATX, and using your phone as you would anyway, will therefore
enable you to help Al-Awda's action committees by providing them with the
resources so they can become more effective. This ATX opportunity is one way
of doing so.

Are ATX's rates competitive?

ATX's domestic and international rates are competitive with all major
telecommunication companies. Calls anywhere in the US are $0.08 per minute
anytime seven days a week. ATX does not have monthly plan charges for
domestic or international calls. Calls to Palestine are $0.29 per minute,
and the company offers reduced competitive rates for calls to Syria, Jordan,
Lebanon and other parts of the Arab world. Businesses may qualify for lower
ATX rates based on current spending and rates offered by other carriers.

The contribution of 5% to Al-Awda will also apply for business accounts. ATX
also guarantees no rate increases for the next five years.

Once again, we urge everyone who supports Al-Awda's mission for Palestinian
rights to switch their long-distance service to ATX as soon as possible.

Switch to ATX, support Al-Awda's grassroots action committees, and defeat
the Zionist organizations' actions against us on this front.

Switch to ATX today!

In solidarity,

Al-Awda, The Palestine Right to Return Coalition
