While the 2004 election is now history, I know that many of us are determined to

make sure that our voices continue to be heard by our newly elected

representatives. As a recipient of WomensWire from Care2, I know that you care

deeply about protecting women's rights here at home as well as lending your

voice to support the needs of vulnerable women and children throughout the

developing world.

 

We have two important actions in this issue:

 

1.End the global gag rule: Save women's lives!

2. Call for U.S. Leadership to Fight the Global Emergency of AIDS.

 

 

 

 

 

1. End the global gag rule: Save women's lives!

Petition: http://www.care2.com/go/z/18545

 

U.S. policies are denying the poorest women in the world contraceptives and

family planning services. As you may know, the Bush administration has

reinstated the Global Gag Rule, a destructive policy that denies funding to

foreign health providers that educate women about their right to choose.

 

The Gag Rule has blocked critical contraceptive supplies to numerous African

countries and caused a host of clinics to close across the continent. In

refusing to provide aid to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the Bush

Administration has undermined that agency's efforts to provide services to

vulnerable women worldwide, and denies women around the world the power to make

their own choices about childbearing. Send an email to President Bush today

asking him to overturn the Gag Rule. Lives depend on it!

 

 

 

 

2. Call for U.S. to Fight the Global Emergency of AIDS

Petition: http://www.care2.com/go/z/18547

 

The emergency of global AIDS and the poverty in which it thrives seems

overwhelming, with 6,000 Africans dying every day. But Americans are rising to

the challenge; and we have an historic opportunity to begin the next

presidential term by offering a pact to help the poorest people in the world

help themselves.

 

Care2 is helping the ONE Campaign to call on President Bush to fight the global

emergency of AIDS. You can help - urge President Bush to begin his second term

by entering into a historic pact for compassion and justice to help the poorest

people in the world fight the emergency of AIDS and the poverty in which it

thrives.

 

With just one percent more of the U.S. budget, we can help:

Prevent 10 million children from becoming AIDS orphans.

Get 104 million children into school in the poorest countries.

Prevent 3.5 million children from dying of unsafe drinking water.

Please sign this petition and let President Bush know that you support starting

the next presidential term with a pact for compassion and justice to make a

better, safer world for all.

 

 

 

 

Thank you for taking action today!

Let my every word be a prayer to Thee,

Every movement of my hands a ritual gesture to Thee,

Every step I take a circumambulation of Thy image,

Every morsel I eat a rite of sacrifice to Thee,

Every time I lay down a prostration at Thy feet;

Every act of personal pleasure and all else that I do,

Let it all be a form of worshiping Thee."

>From Verse 27 of Shri Aadi Shankara's Saundaryalahari
