Then again....
Just when I thought I didn't have enough time to blog, I've found some time while supper is cooking to post something extremely important that I just received through email. The injustices of this world are so numerous. However I do not post these things to overwhelm you. I post them so that you are aware. With that I give you simple solutions that take little time at all to do and THEY DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
It never ceases to amaze me how many things occur that we just do not know about. I had never heard of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Now however I will never forget this place. It is there that many men who have been captured from all over the world are being held as prisoners in a US Naval Base. These men were captured after the September 11th attacks and have not been released or even given a fair trial. US authorities have repeatedly called these men "killers" or "terrorists" however no one from this place has ever been convicted of a criminal offence. Torture and extreme psychological abuse have been reported by those release and military.
There is an urgent call to action to release these men. Please take a second and check out the website below for more information.

Please sign on to help others from all over the world close Guantanamo and release these men back to their homelands and families! As a wife I cannot even begin to imagine the heartache and pain that their families are going through. The waiting, not knowing, confusion. These men are not even allowed to stay in contact with their families. Please act now!

Wow, doesn't that put perspective on the world around us. I have been reading about Guantanamo Bay for a while and am so glad that you have the courage to put it out there for us to really see. It breaks my heart to see injustice like this happening in 2007. I have joined the flotilla and hopefully more will.
