We'd appreciate your visit, and also a click over to Our Original Story.
You can See that We Represent OURStory.  it's important to keep the
facts inline, and to stop the propagation of myths into holidays.

RE Ausetkmt presents Yow, The Liecentric Posse deh bout; somebody call the Drop Squad
posted at BadGalsRadio Daily Blog, saying, “this blog is a part of five blogs about Different Posses’.
this particular piece is about a leopard who pretends to change his spots; but alas the spots are his skin.”

Hey! Welcome back! Hmmm…interesting - are you actually promoting support for the Black Panthers in this post?  It also sounds like perhaps you are proving that Kwanzaa is just a made up sham and should not be a recognized holiday - if it ever is.  Although quite a long post - I learned quite a bit.

Global Watchdogs Ignore World's Poorest



care2 petitionsite actionAlert

Hi Ankhesen,

Many of the world's most resource-rich nations also have the most devastatingly poor citizens. Behind closed doors, countries selling oil, gas and minerals are making incredible profits, but the money remains in the hands of the already wealthy.

For example, in Peru minerals account for 50 percent of the country's income, but 44.5 percent of its people live in poverty. Governments need to be held accountable for natural resource corruption. »

A recent report shows that the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) have not followed through in their efforts to disclose government earnings.

If our global watchdogs will not help the poor, at least the U.S. can do its share. Congress is considering the Extractive Industries Transparency Disclosure (EITD) Act, which would obligate U.S. companies to disclose how much they pay foreign governments for oil, gas and minerals.

The EITD Act will expose those governments who exploit their citizens to make themselves wealthy off their natural resources. Tell your congressperson to stop ignoring governmental exploitation of citizens and pass the EITD Act! »

Thanks for taking action!
