About Me

plain layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.com MyHotComments
HotFreeLayouts Hi my name is George Cook owner of the web site Let's Talk Honestly. To help missing black women I have started a missing black women page Missing Black Women but that's still not enough. We all have to do more.
Please sign my petition to get black women more coverage on cable news channels. You can sign here
Petition for more coverage
The petition reads:
To: CNN, Fox News, MSNBC
While this started as a drive to get cases of missing African American Women and other women of color more air time on cable and news it is now a mission to get missing women of every ethnic group, race, or religion more air time by asking Cable Stations to devote just 30 seconds of air time per hour to the story of a missing woman. That would be 168 woman a week and 8736 women a year that would get at least some coverage on a national level. Please help me do this by signing my petion which wil be sent to CNN, Fox News and MSNBC. The may ignore 1 or 100 but they can't ignore thousands.
