Godin: One life per fax [Seth Godin]: I'm interrupting my regular stream of rants and interesting thoughts to ask you to do something before you leave work today. Send a fax to your Senators and one to your congressperson. (get the contact info here: Contacting the Congress.) It's okay if it just has one word on it, along with your name and address: Darfur. If we generate 10,000 notes today, we'll save far more than 10,000 lives. More info here. Thanks. I've just done it. Took 3 minutes. Your turn. 9:37:37 PM    comment []  trackback []
