PURPLE FINGER POINTS THE WAY TO FREEDOM

Iraqi People Risk Lives to Vote; Need America's Moral Support WASHINGTON, DC - William Greene, President of the conservative on-line activist organization RightMarch.com, is urging his members to stand up with their own "purple fingers" to show support for the Iraqi people in the coming December 15th election when the first constitutional government is to be elected by the general population amidst threats from terrorists.

"The Iraqi people will courageously risk their lives to vote in three days," said William Greene, President of RightMarch.com. "If we are what we claim to be - the beacon of freedom for the entire world - then we must show our support for the Iraqis at this crucial time."

RightMarch has joined a campaign spearheaded by radio personalities such as Bill Bennett, Sean Hannity and Martha Zoller, along with dozens of grassroots organizations, and is encouraging Americans to paint their right index fingers purple over the next three days as a sign of solidarity with the Iraqi people. An internet website, www.purplefingerforfreedom.org, has been set up so Americans can post pictures of their fingers and weigh in on the debate. "We're going to witness the birth of a democracy out of the ashes of dictatorship; now is NOT the time to run away. We should paint our fingers purple in defiance of totalitarianism, resurrect our old motto 'Don't Tread On Me' and lend it to the Iraqis as a warning to all those who mean to interfere in the coming election," concluded Greene.

RightMarch.com is a web based, conservative organization, dedicated to giving hundreds of thousands of hardworking, patriotic Americans across the country a strong collective voice in the political process. For more information, visit www.RightMarch.com.
