Declaration: It is an American tradition, however much it might seem forgotten today, to take a stand for religious freedom, justice, and other human rights. With today's communications, we have more opportunity to do so than ever before. The world is aware of human rights abuses in China.
Nations are made up of individuals; and individuals are taking stands against human rights abuses in China. It IS possible to create a peaceful, tolerant world guided by principles of compassion, wisdom, and non-violence as promoted in the philosophy of Tibet and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. I support His Holiness's stance. Each person fasting in this campaign also represents hundreds of others who share these views but do not choose to fast.
