WHERE IS FREEDOM? WHERE IS JUSTICE?

"It is not power that corrupts but fear. Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it." -Aung San Suu Kyi

Aung San Suu Kyi is the epitome of democracy. She is a patron of nonviolence (inspired by the life of Mahatma Gandhi) and pro-democracy yet she remains a prisoner of conscience (the only imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize recipient) because of a military tyranny in her own country despite the many appeals of the UN, artists and other international organizations and even the democratic people of Burma. In spite of the Burmese government's disregard, we shall continue fighting for Aung San Suu Kyi's freedom. Join the fight for democracy and register at www.actionburma.com.

"I prefer not to interfere too much with what is going on in the world, but when someone has been thrown into a hole and they ask you to throw down a rope, I am happy to look for a rope, especially for a woman of such grace." -Damien Rice
