help_haiti, click to help Haiti

Hello there everyone,

Here are easy ways you can help people devastated by the earthquake in Haiti.

Each click will help fund donations to Oxfam America. Oxfam America will use the funds to provide urgently needed water and sanitation to Haiti's survivors.

Help Haiti. Ask global creditors to drop Haiti's 1 billion dollar debt. Do it now by signing this petition here:

By doing this, you are making sure that more money is being used where it's needed the most - to rebuild the lives and futures of people in Haiti. Paying back old debts would only delay and reduce the chances of aid, food, medical aid, shelter reaching people. Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the world. I can't imagine how long it'd take for Haiti to rebuild itself if its debts weren't dropped.

Thank you so much.

Ask Obama to take a stand against torture

Hello everyone,

I strongly recommend that you read and sign. Tell others, tell as many people as you can about this.

The text below is from the website below from Amnesty International:

On January 27th, President Obama will deliver his State of the Union address. He has many serious topics to cover, but we need to make sure that accountability for U.S. torture is one of them. Send a message to President Obama urging him to announce in his State of the Union address that he will work with Congress to set up an independent commission of inquiry to tell the truth about torture committed in our names. Remind him that he is required by law to investigate U.S. torture, prosecute those responsible and ensure remedy for victims.

Take a stand. Sign here:

Thank you so much if you signed or spread the message. People need to hear this, and to tell Obama to take a stand. Torture doesn't work in gaining life saving accurate information.We need to speak out against it for the sake of security and upholding human rights.
