- "Four years ago we introduced the Working Assets Visa Card
- -- the only credit card that works for peace, human rights
- and the environment every time it's used. Since 1986,
- Working Assets` cardholders and long-distance users have
- generated over $700,000 for non-profit groups like Amnesty
- International, Earth Day 1990, Rainforest Action Network
- and Oxfam America."

- ==================================================================
- Is your money being invested in companies building nuclear weapons?
- Corporations destroying the environment, or who "union-bust" or
- discriminate? What you have in a "regular bank" quite likely is
- invested in assets promoting things we are strongly opposed to. Below
- are several places to put your money which won't let your money work
- against your values...

- =============================
- Working Assets Long Distance:
- =============================
-
- "HERE'S HOW IT WORKS: Every time you call long-distance, we give 1
- percent of your charges (at no cost to you) to non-profit groups
- working to clean up toxic wastes, preserve rainforests, feed the hungry
- and more. The more you talk, the more we give (see back page for
- groups we've funded in the past)
-
- HOW OUR LONG DISTANCE SERVICE WORKS: Working Assets uses the all-new
- fiber-optic network of US Sprint -- and adds our own unique commitment
- to the future of our world. That means you get the same low rates and
- high quality service *all* US Spring customers get. Including 24-hour
- operator services and the pin-drop quality sound US Spring is famous
- for. It also means that if you switch from AT&T's basic residential
- service, *you'll save money on every interstate call.*
-
- SIGN-UP OFFER: To get you started, we'll give you a credit equal to 30
- free minutes, and a free calling card. Just dial 1-(800)-669-8585 [you
- get US Sprint operator --HB] or send name, address, tel number(s) to
- switch, and sign: "Sign me up for Working Assets Long Distance" [to
- above Working Assets address]
-
- THE SMALL PRINT: Working Assets Long Distance is an exclusive service
- of Working Assets Funding Service. By signing the attached card, you
- authorize us to notify your local phone company that you choose US
- Sprint to be your primary long-distance carrier. You will still be
- able to place calls with other carriers or switch to another primary
- carrier if you with. When you switch your primary long-distance
- carrier, your local phone company (not us or US Sprint) may apply a
- one-time switching charge of about $5. IF it does (and even if it
- doesn't) we'll give you a credit to help offset the charge equal to 30
- free minutes of interstate calling. The credit will be at the US Sprint
- 3,000 mile night/weekend rate and will be issued after your third full
- month of service. If you are currently a US Sprint customer, you may
- sign up for Working Assets Long Distance. There will be no switching
- charge and you won't get a 30 minute credit"
