WE all can make a difference in world politics by supporting the Live 8 concerts. They are trying to get the big 8 countries to forgive Africa's debt. A child in Africa every 3 SECONDS. Please go to www.one.org and sign the petition. It won't cost you any money but you are needed to move the world towards cureing aids and helping the people of Africa. Please just sign your name and let our governments know we care!!

Results:

Poverty:
-8 billion increase in aid
-Debt of the 18 poorest countries in africa cancelled.

Considering that the G8 summits usually don't yield any agreement on anything. This is a great day, and world history has been made.

It would have been an even better day, if all countries voted for improving the issues on the environment. Kyoto is still only supported by 7 out of 8. Maybe in November the last one will go over the line....I hope. But I doubt it.

Another great result is that Africa can now purchase meds for AIDS at cost price.

Purposely not mentioning lifting of trade sanctions. As this may end up being a useless gesture.
