Had enough? Citizens, take back your government!
 
 

Does Avis share your values? 

The full-page color ad below has been appearing in hard-core homosexual magazines across the country.  Next time you rent a car, keep this picture in your mind. 

Text:  "You're on the A-ist to us. For over a decade, Avis has automatically included domestic partners as additional drivers in the U.S.  No extra fees charged, no questions asked. And now, we're coming out in grand style, including domestic partners as additional drivers internationally. So go ahead, take a spin. Here, there, just  about anywhere."

(And you get the special gay "A-Card" and "exclusive savings" if you use their gay web address and promotion number!)

Where your money goes when you rent an Avis car:  According to comments by Avis executives on several gay websites, Avis is committed to supporting the homosexual movement.  Avis donates to the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), an organization which pushes for more homosexual characters in television and movies.  Avis also sponsors their annual GLAAD Media Awards presentation, honoring homosexuality in the media. 

And Avis brags that since 2003 it has directly supported gay film festivals across the country.  As the ad describes, Avis has launched a sweepstakes for a "VIP Festival Pass" trip to the 2006 gay film festivals in Miami, Philadelphia and San Francisco.  (You get entered automatically by using their special avis.com/prouder web address and promotion number.)

Don't just sit and take it . . .
Let Avis and its parent company, Cendant, know how YOU feel!

Tell them why you will absolutely NOT rent another car from Avis!
