Spread the Word to End the Word

Spread the word to end the word in the campaign set up by the Special Olympics. Visit http://www.r-word.org/ to see what the deal is about. The only way we can put an end to hatred is through tolerance and acceptance. Stop the ignorance!

On another note, check out Jamendo.com for some free music downloads of up-and-coming artists - they're great!

If you haven't yet seen the Hugs, Not Drugs video on this blog, check it! It's really powerful, coming from a 14 year old!

Fun links!

So, did anyone catch Obama's slip up on Jay Leno's late night show? He said he was awful at bowling, and compared his skills to "the Special Olympics or something". He later apologized to the Special Olympics, before the show was aired. He also invited some Special Olympics athletes to come bowl or play basketball in the White House with him. Here's an article about it.

Speaking of the Special Olympics, they have a new campaign against the R-word. Unfortunately, too many people believe that it's alright to describe something that they dislike as "retarded". The Special Olympics has started a movement to put an end to the ignorance. Here's their website.

Tomorrow is World Water Day! Help me campaign for Water for Life! Check out their site.

On a much different note, here's an interesting case of what appears to be extreme bullying. In my opinion, the school should have stepped in before things got to this point. See the article here.

Check out a new artist who's absolutely great: seanfournier.blogspot.com. He also has several free songs that you can download. :) Enjoy!

Have a great night! See ya!
