I Call Upon You to Draw from the Depths of Your Being

Dear Representative Stauber,

“I call upon you to draw from the depths of your being to prove that we are a human race. To prove that our love outweighs our need to hate. That our compassion is more compelling than our need to blame. That our sensitivity to those in need is stronger than our greed. That our ability to reason overcomes our fear.”

- Elizabeth Taylor

A Child Is a Child in Any Country

 Dear Representative Stauber,

“A child is a child in any country, whatever the politics… there is no complicated diplomacy, when a child is starving. It's simple. And we'd better do something about it. For our sakes, too. That is, if we want to continue to call ourselves human.”
