- In my preceding post, the second paragraph of the sample message should
- read:
- "Such massive aid must continue without interruption or lessening
- until the Somalian population is out of danger."
-
- IDEA:
-
- When faxing to the Clinton Campaign HQ, try directing your fax to the
- attention of Tipper Gore.
-
- Implore her as a mother who has held a vigil beside her own child when
- his life was in danger, to take special notice of the mothers and children
- of Somalia, and not to turn her attention away from them until the danger is
- over.
-
- Whatever opinions are about Tipper Gore's anti-rock-lyrics campaign, there
- is no question that she is seriously concerned for the welfare of children.
-
- The appeal to Tipper Gore could also be made to Al Gore, who has spoken
- about how his priorities changed when his 6-year-old son was hit by
- a car. Both parents spent 30 days and nights by the child's bedside.
- The boy has now made a good recovery.
-
- Or you could direct the fax to Al and Tipper Gore together, as parents.
-
-
- Similarly, I believe Hilary Clinton is on the Board of the Children's Defense
- Fund. Ask her to take the children of Somalia under her special notice and
- again not to turn her attention away from them until the danger is over.
-
- Thanks.
- (Note: obviously, when faxing Hilary Clinton or Tipper Gore, as mothers,
- a deeply serious and courteous tone is in order>)
