advocate of both the free enterprise system and the concept of
'equal justice under the law.' Through his entrepreneurial vision
he has created a means by which thousands of Americans and
Canadians can share that vision as associates with Pre-Paid Legal
Services, Inc.," Donohue said. In utilizing a direct selling
business model to market its legal service plans to families and
individuals, Pre-Paid Legal Services has offered an opportunity for

associates for the company. "As a result of the great depression
and its aftermath, a growing number of North Americans are out
-of-work and in need of an opportunity for the future," Stonecipher
said. "This is a pivotal year for Pre-Paid Legal Services and we
have undertaken the 'Business for Today' campaign to spread the
message of hope to those who will listen," he continued. The
"Business for Today" program at the U.S. Chamber is another
important step in carrying the message of opportunity. In addition
to remarks by President Donohue, the one-hour event will include
brief presentations by Fran Tarkenton, NFL Hall of Fame member and
founder of GoSmallBiz.com and an exclusive group of the top
performing PPD independent associates, including: Dave Savula,

and Darnell Self, Upper Marlboro, Maryland. PPD launched its
"Business for Today" campaign with a special 30-minute broadcast on
Fox Business Network on January 1 of this year. This year, Chairman
Stonecipher has also participated in a series of special business
recruitment events in markets like San Diego, California and
