   If you really don't have the time, then a quick blurb about Bloggers Unite and a link to Amnesty International wouldn't hurt.

      that's what i would suggest. maybe just a quick post linking to our Blogger s Unite site to help get the word out.

   Yeah, I support it whole-heartedly, but it doesn't really fit my blog at all. Can't I just cheer from the sidelines?

      I already link to them. I'll probably do a little shoutout at the end of one of my posts that may or may not be posted tomorrow.

      Many peoples are planning on joining that don't fit the subject. So far I've seen blogs about movies, cosmetics, fashion, science fiction, recipes, and more that are planning on joining in.
      
      I'm glad you're at least doing a shout out.

      I think the fact that it doesn't support is sort of the "unite" part--bloggers from all over, with all different niches coming together...

      alright - I'll put a blurb in at the end of my post tomorrow. It can't hurt....plus sometimes I wonder if I'm the only person reading what I write.

      Kdawg, one sort of "out there" human rights issue (from the point of view of your subject matter) are the children used as camel jockeys in the Middle East. I heard a piece last year though about how a machine had been invented that could serve as a jockey in the camel races.
      
      I suppose you could also twist the Bloggers Unite campaign and talk about animal rights. Maybe there's even a connection between animal and human rights in some instances.

      good thinking. Whatever we pay you, we should double it!

      I'm new so I don't have a lot of suggestions as to how to increase your traffic. I'd say you sure should get a word out to racing enthusiasts somehow, though, I like the look and it's a great niche.

   Selly, how about persecuted artists in states where freedom of expression is not guaranteed?

      Ooh, thanks! And thanks for that link Shirley/Shiley, but it was bios of dancers in a company... I'm not exactly sure how that is related... I should read the thing first, then.
