Dear Taxpayer,

My name is Megan Andersen.

I am a Vice President at White Coat Waste—the most effective organization for getting cats out of labs.

You may not know my name. But you’re probably familiar with my work.

I run WCW’s advertising and marketing campaigns. It’s how American taxpayers and Congress learn about every significant animal testing issue—from cat experiments at the Dept. of Veterans Affairs (VA), to Dr. Fauci’s beagle tests, to the 43 escaped primates in South Carolina.

I am reaching out with THIS TOP 5 LIST (see below) before tonight’s massive deadline.

You need to know that our newest Rapid Response fund is falling seriously behind where it needs to be.

It’s the key to ending animal tests like NIH’s barbaric experiment where 28 cats were waterboarded, had inflatable balloons rammed down their throats, and killed.

Tonight is a very rare opportunity to send it to the litter box of history… forever.

At midnight, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke—a major NIH grant-maker—may pay six figures to the University of Louisville for another round of cat torture.

It’s a hard government deadline, Taxpayer. 

Your donation tonight is unusually important.

Here are five reasons why:

Reason #1: We're tracking about 10% behind budget for how much it took when we exposed beagle testing at the Dept. of Defense (DOD). After WCW’s investigation, we rallied the House to de-fund it—the first time Congress has ever voted to prohibit all DOD spending on dog experiments!

Unfortunately, NIH’s waterboarding lab in Louisville will be even harder to crack because cats aren’t as popular as dogs.

We made up a decent amount yesterday, but we still need to raise another $16,000 by midnight.

GIVE >>

Reason #2: Our average donation is down. That's a problem because it's about 23% lower than last November’s comparable baseline level.

This worries me a lot, Taxpayer.

Now we need many more gifts to close the gap before 11:59 PM. 

MIDNIGHT DEADLINE >>

Reason #3: Online advertising is the key to rapid response. Look, I know $2.80 (just ten cents for each cat) sounds like it won’t go very far. But, as the head of WCW’s advertising campaigns, I beg to differ…

Tonight your $2.80 donation could become $14 (see reason five below).

And $14 is how much it takes for me to reach 28 more pet owners in key Congressional Districts, expose the truth about the NIH’s cat torture, and get the right people to contact the right legislators at the right moment to cut the funding… FAST! 

It’s effective: when the money stops, the killing stops.

Taxpayer, this is how we stopped all cat testing at Veterans Affairs labs.

After WCW uncovered Denis McDonough’s (a White House cabinet member) plot to restart painful experiments on seven cats, I launched a rapid response ad campaign to disrupt his Stokes lab in Cleveland – and we spared the “Stokes 7”.

I want to do it again tonight at NIH’s Louisville lab.

CHIP IN >>

Reason #4: We win the toughest campaigns for cats that big animal rights groups just can't. USDA’s “Kitten Slaughterhouse”? Shut down. The entire cat colony at UC Davis? Bye Bye. NIH’s cat tests in Russia? Dasvidaniya. You and I won all those fights. (Don't forget: nobody else—and I do mean nobody—has closed a federal cat lab in 40 years except for WCW.)

I can keep going… but honestly, Taxpayer??

I'd prefer just to win again for the cats before NIH funds even more waterboarding and balloon swallowing. 

Some of the kittens were tortured here for 1,000 DAYS!

Tonight’s deadline is the key. We have a proven strategy. And we're the only organization working on it:

Let's give it the WCW treatment!

Reason #5: We have a special 5x matching grant until midnight.

If you commit to a small monthly gift, a big-hearted supporter will quintuple match your gift by 11:59 pm.

Taxpayer, this means whatever you send in the next 9 hours, she’ll multiply it by five!

Even if it’s just $2.80/month (only one dime per cat) we’ll get 5x the amount for our rapid response campaigns:

Give $2.80/mo. >> We get $14 ASAP!  
Just ten cents per cat!

Give $5/mo. >> We get $25 rushed!
Advertising & more to expose NIH to 50+ taxpayers & pet owners

 Give $15/mo. >> We get $75 pronto!
Fight in the courts & more to hold NIH accountable

  Give $25/mo. >> We get $125 fast!
Lobby Congress & more to end NIH’s cat labs

 Give One-Time >>

Think of it this way: your tiny monthly commitment will be spread out. But this generous donor’s massive 5x match will be frontloaded for maximum impact.

So please Taxpayer, if you are financially able, rush your most generous donation before tonight’s 11:59 PM deadline.

You Give. We Win. They Survive,

Megan Andersen  Vice President White Coat Waste Project
