A letter from Helen Crowe:

Dear Friends,

 As most of you know, I have been working to raise awareness / advocacy re: the on-going genocide in Darfur, Sudan. I have had the pleasure of meeting some incredibly inspirational women from Sudan, who are committed to ending the atrocious violence against women and bring peace to Sudan.  With help from My Sister's Keeper / Sisterhood for Peace, they have organized a diverse delegation of women  to attend the up-coming Peace Negotiations for Darfur in Doha, Qatar, at the end of January.  They will present a list of demands and meet with other Sudanese women to expand their message and grow their peace network.

 The women, who have committed their own financial resources, are still about $10,000 short of needed funds.  So, I am asking, if you can, to please support this important mission. I know many families are struggling due to the economy and have already committed financial resources to truly worthy causes, such as aid for the unfathomable suffering and devastation in Haiti.  However, I have never felt more strongly about aiding a specific cause.

Please make a donation now at:  https://app.etapesty.com/hosted/MySister/OnlineDonation.html

 To express my appreciation, all Donors are invited to a Follow-up Reception at my home, to hear about the women's experience in Doha.  Any size donation is welcome.

 Sincere thanks............Helen  (Please feel free to send out to others)

Letter from Organizing for America:

In many ways, the fight for health insurance reform comes down to a battle over information. The more people know about how broken the system is and the President's plan to fix it, the more they want change. But there are an awful lot of lies to cut through, and a whole lot of truth to get out.

So today, we're proud to announce a powerful new way for you to help: Organizing for America's Health Reform Video Challenge.

This is your chance -- you ingenious, insightful, funny people out there -- to make a 30-second ad telling the story about why the status quo has got to go, or explaining how the Obama plan will ensure we get the secure, quality care we need without breaking the budget.

The top submissions will be voted on by the public and a panel of experts, with the winning ad aired on national television. This is your opportunity to add your voice and creativity to the debate, get some great exposure for your work, and make a huge difference.

Click here to get started. No experience is needed -- if you have an idea, we want you to give it a shot. And if you know someone who is especially handy with a camera, please forward this note along right away. Just make sure you submit your ad by October 18th.

Your video could be as simple as you talking straight into the camera, as complex as a full-blown production with a script and special effects, or anything in between.

We're looking for serious videos: You can tell your personal story about how the broken health insurance system has affected you. You can illustrate the big picture about what's wrong now and how the President's plan will help with animations, charts, and facts.

We're looking for funny videos: You can parody those trying to scare us into inaction (between the lying pundits and the insurance company spin doctors, they've given us some good stuff to work with).

And we're looking for new ideas we never would have thought of but we know will blow us all away.

We know that compelling videos can touch people in a way that words alone simply cannot. The messages that regular people put together will make a bigger difference than any false smears or slick ads the other side can dream up. And who knows -- your creative, powerful, or touching video could help tip the balance in favor of health reform.

So go get started today!

I can't wait to see what you come up with,
