I am watching CFCF’s staggering coverage of the Live 8 concert. This is not a political Blog. This is personal.
I went to the Make Poverty History website and signed the letters. They’re not asking for money. They’re asking for your name.
This is the email I got back. Please take action now. Let’s end this now.
“Dear Friend,
