Recently there has been an upsurge of using the grand old internet to
gather signatures for petitions. I haven't done any extensive research on
the subject, I have included the link.

This past Saturday the organization 'Buffalo For Africa' held its first Women's Conference, at the Rich's Atrium on the scenic Niagara River in Buffalo, NY. The keynote speaker Maggie Fick - from the Enough Project in Washington, D.C.- spoke about the situation in Sudan, Chad, and the emerging issue of conflict minerals coming out of Congo. These are minerals that go into our personal computers, cell phones, and other electronic devices.
Other notables at the conference included news anchor Mary Alice Demler, Mary Denisco, and musical performances by the Buffalo Select Chorus and the Orchard Park Drum Ensemble.
