Dear xxxx
27 April 2006

KC BlockadeRight now, even as I'm writing, 20 of our activists have set up a blockade of Kimberly-Clark's factory in Canada. We're stopping all shipments of ancient forest products in or out of the factory, and we've hung a large banner that reads, "Kimberly-Clark & Kleenex: Stop destroying the Boreal Forest."

We're sending Kimberly-Clark a strong message: now it's YOUR turn.

Act Now >> We've obtained the direct phone number to Kimberly-Clark CEO Thomas Falk's office, and we want you to call him and deliver this message: "Stop destroying ancient forests and start using recycled content in your tissue products."

Call 972-281-1308 Now!
(*Note: This may be a long-distance call. If you'd rather call
Kimberly-Clark's Customer Service, just dial 1-800-544-1847)

Meanwhile, I'm in Texas today for Kimberly-Clark's annual shareholders meeting, and I'll be personally delivering the same message to them.

We've been campaigning against Kimberly Clark for more than a year now, and thanks to you, we're making a real difference. More than 26,000 of you have written to Kimberly-Clark already. We've taken the campaign to a new level today, and I hope you'll take your efforts to a new level too. Please, take just a moment to make the call to CEO Thomas Falk, and demand that Kimberly-Clark stop destroying ancient forests now.

Sincerely,
Pamela Wellner
