Dear Friend,
Today, I became part of an unprecedented global call to action to end poverty: Make Poverty History
Right now, there is active campaigning in over 100 countries around the three core demands: More and Better Aid, Trade Justice, and Cancel the Debt. In Canada, we're also campaigning to End Child Poverty in Canada.
You've just got to be a part of this campaign.
Go to http://www.makepovertyhistory.ca and sign on to the campaign yourself.
There is no time to lose. It doesn't matter who or where you are, your voice is critical to the success of this campaign. This is a rare chance to join me and millions of others across the planet to once and for all make poverty history.
What are you waiting for? Join me and click in!

What you can do right now:
- Sign on to the campaign
- Tell federal MPs other politicians to commit to a timeline for 0.7%
- Click others into action - forward this message to your networks
"If everyone who wants to see an end to poverty, hunger and suffering speaks out, then the noise will be deafening. Politicians will have to listen."

What a nice post to read. I heard this many times but until now there is no results.
What do you think?
Hi Rain :)
You, my dear, are a kindred spirit and it is a pleasure to cybermeet you. I am adding your blog to my Links Page on my Non-Violent Planet.
Have a beautiful and interesting day, ok?
You might want to sign on in another campaign One Million Blogs to End the War in Iraq
does all these sign up plots for anything really makes a difference? hmmm wonder if the poverty stricken people from my country are benefiting from such activities... makes you think.
That's a valid question. I believe it helps or I wouldn't have posted it. I can tell you that the emails I've received from them have been prompting me to contact my government representatives asking them to honour Canada's commitments on such things as debt relief (for example).
I believe that we each have a responsibility to make our voices heard on issues important to us - whether our voices are listened to or not is the responsibility of those we speak to.
