FLY A KITE FOR AFGHAN WOMEN
(Thanks to Jee long koh)
"This Mother's Day, Amnesty International is inviting you to
write your own Message of Solidarity for Afghan women.
We'll put it on a kite -- kite flying is a popular pastime in Afghanistan -- and fly it during the NATO Summit in Chicago, May 20-21, where President Obama and Afghan President Karzai will be discussing Afghanistan's transition"--without a single Afghan woman at the table.

The photo of the witness panel for b.c. benefits is shocking, of course. I can't figure out why American women think they're so free.? A mystery....
