A Few Extra Hours

I missed the 100 Hours to Save Darfur campaign.  It was a four-day drive to publicize the suffering in Darfur in the hopes of getting our government to pressure China to stop blocking every step the US via the UN tries to take to end the genocide.   It was also a fundraising drive to help raise money to send medicine and workers to the region to stem the tide of death.  The campaign ran from 17 March - 20 March, but I'm sure that any letters written now or contributions made will still do some good.

To write a letter to government officials, you can use this website, which makes it very easy.

Tas at Loaded Mouth has a form up to help you send a letter to the NYT asking why they haven't been covering Darfur.

Save the Children is working in Darfur and needs donations.

Compassionate Conservatism in Action

Zinn


  • "[O]ur time, our energy, should be spent in educating, agitating, organizing our fellow citizens in the workplace, in the neighborhood, in the schools. Our objective should be to build, painstakingly, patiently but energetically, a movement that, when it reaches a certain critical mass, would shake whoever is in the White House, in Congress, into changing national policy on matters of war and social justice."

Bono


  • "True religion will not let us fall asleep in the comfort of our freedom. Love thy neighbor is not a piece of advice, it's a command. ...

    God, my friends, is with the poor and God is with us, if we are with them. This is not a burden, this is an adventure."

The Reverend Al Sharpton


  • Ray wasn't singing about what he knew, 'cause Ray had been blind since he was a child. He hadn't seen many purple mountains. He hadn't seen many fruited plains. He was singing about what he believed to be.

    Mr. President, we love America, not because of all of us have seen the beauty all the time.

    But we believed if we kept on working, if we kept on marching, if we kept on voting, if we kept on believing, we would make America beautiful for everybody.

Marx


  • ''With adequate profit, capital is very bold. A certain 10 percent will ensure its employment anywhere; 20 percent will produce eagerness, 50 percent positive audacity; 100 percent will make it ready to trample on all human laws; 300 percent, and there is not a crime which it will not scruple, nor a risk it will not run, even to the chance of its owner being hanged.''
