Although this is a bit off topic on my December theme of giving and bringing awareness to charities that matter, but this is a very timely cause that needs attention. Amnesty International is not a charity, but a well recognized human rights organization that runs a lean operation cost and, more than any other organization in existence, helps those unfairly persecuted throughout the world. The reason I have decided to add this to my list is that December 10 (tomorrow) is Human Rights Day and Amnesty International is launching it's 'Write for Rights' letter righting campaign. They ask that we take a moment out of our day to write, sign, and/or become part of their 'greeting card' campaign. As the old campfire song muses 'It only takes a spark to get a fire going'; believing in the strength of your individual effort can change the course of international causes. Amnesty's success is evident of this.
