They're requesting emails or video responses on what people think the next US presidential administration should do about Tibet. So far all the responses I've seen are injis, and many of them lack substance (how typical...). This is a chance to show ICT (and hopefully the policy people they share the results with) we're fed up with the fluff, the patronizing and cynical treatment Tibet gets, and the "HHDL photo op" mentality of politicians. Here's the site: http://www.savetibet.org/campaign2008/ It has instructions on sending in your written or video responses. Cheers and Bhoe gyal lo!

Set during the Bolshevik revolution, starring Omar Sharif. it's film I find quite powerful, in that one get a small glimpse of the kind of turmoil Tibetans might have experienced during the cultural revolution. And as a bonus it also has the young Julie Christie as Lara. I will try and get a DVD to send. Ahem! don’t call me sissy, but I would like to suggest the epic romance, war film: Dr. Zhivago (1965).

October to end of January is harvest season + sweater selling season in the settlements. Except for the very young and the very old, most young people will be gone to sweater selling. Thus, I was wondering if anyone who is in India can coordinate this. I will send a note to Tenzin Tsundue la to see if he has network in the south. JN-la
