61. Perhaps this $50 donation will do more than in their hands than the UN...
I usually donate to the UN every month, but their complete lack of movement over Sudan and Zimbabwe has really worn thin on my support. I think from now on I'll divert the funds to this network.

Even though I don't watch television, perhaps this network will spotlight their foot shuffling and snap them back to the reason why they exist.

On top of that, you're right, not only the American people need this network, but all people.
