Dear Fellow Contractors

Please resend this email to the Los Angeles Times (robert.lopez@latimes.com) and then send this on to ten other contractors and so on, so we can let the press know how honest contractors feel.

Read with interest your story on unlicensed contractors being busted.

This is of interest to legitimate contractors everywhere, however, I do not see and have not seen one
article anywhere, in any publication, that gives favorable mention to the contractors who slug it out

Thank you for your interest in contributing to the Mommie Hammer Project.

We, as contractors, are taking a solid step towards getting early diagnosis of breast cancer

The minimum contribution we ask is $25.00 plus $3.00 for shipping and handling. You may

your business card so we can put your information as a contributor on the Honor Roll of
thecontractorsside.com. Please contact Heather @ 818 264 9931.

Punch List:

The Mommie Hammer Dutch Auction closes tomorrow. Don't wait get on eBay and make your bid. Any figure over $25.00 is going to get a hammer, a $20.00 savings certificate from thehardwarecity.com, a listing on thecontractorsside.com Honor Roll.

Top ten bidders get named by name on HomeTalkUSA.

The Los Angeles Times. They think we'll tank on the Mommie Hammer, and frankly, with the way they've
been covering contractors lately, I think they're wishing we will.

Dontcha just hate when the punch list is just one item that you've been meaning to do, but you just
haven't gotten around to it?

EVERDAY HEROES

Straight-up people in the construction trade, the ones who work everyday in a rough and sometimes difficult business have banded together for a rare and fairly public task. They want to have an effect on the terrible ravages of breast cancer.

Under the leadership of thecontractorsside.com, a widely disparate and independent group of competitors has allied from their own numbers to raise money for mammograms. This money is targeted specifically for women who may be of high risk and who need early detection.
