Can you buy progressive checks, does anyone know??
Edited on Thu May-05-05 07:53 PM by ailsagirl
Like checks you write to pay for things? The closest thing I can find online are checks with a huge American flag emblazoned on them. Funny thing-- for me at least, the American flag has come to symbolize the neocons who are demolishing our country. That is, when I see a car with an American flag sticker on it, I can't help thinking the driver is a * supporter.

1. We have star trek ones. I'd like to think of them as being progressive
I mean, really. Wouldn't you rather have Jean Luc-Picard running this country than **? :P

4. I can't remember the last time I wrote a cheque.
Everything's either Web banking or debit card. Some places here don't even accept cheques anymore.

The company made a donation when I bought them. They have housebuilding scenes on them with the HFH logo.

14. Yes! I have Planned Parenthood checks.
I got them from Message Products, and a percentage of the fee goes to PP.

I've had a couple places look at me funny for using them. It made my day, since they've never refused my money.
