We need a campaign of one million people to support Burma. Join now at UScampaignforBurma.org
“ This campaign has been done because I believe that Aung San Suu Kyi is the living symbol of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. My campaign at the Human Rights Action Center is to get governments to print the Universal Declaration of Human Rights into all of our passports. It is thus logical for the Human Rights Action Center to be involved in a campaign for Aung San Suu Kyi. I’ve thought long and hard about how to create a new paradigm, a new thrust, a new energy, a new force. I am bored by public service announcements and feel that they have lost their effectiveness. I set out to create a new genre. Like I and a lot of young people did back in the late 60’s, we created what is now called a “walk-a-thon”, which has been used to raise money for charity. I hope that this new paradigm, as well as bringing Aung San Suu Kyi to her rightful place in government, will be used in the future by other non-profits. A big or small non-profit can now define themselves without raising tons of cash through direct mail, cutting down trees for the paper, and can go up online and get the world to respond in a new way.”
Like Forrest Gump said, ‘That’s all I want to say about that’”
