3]  Human Rights Issue

          Help SAVE a life for the price of a stamp.

          We are looking for concerned persons, and persons of
          conscience, to help with this effort.  If you can dispense
          with being judgmental and if you feel that ALL persons
          should be protected by fundamental Human Rights, we hope you
          will take part in this effort.

          An African American tourist, turned Human Rights prisoner, 
          will soon pass his 6th consecutive birthday behind bars, 
          in a 6X12-ft French cell...virtually forgotten.

          Feelings of abandonment, depression and suicide
          are ever present and can be overpowering.  Understandably.

          Send him a msg in support of his fundamental Human 
          Rights.� Let him know that there are persons who care
          whether or not he is treated fairly.  We will airmail your
          msg to him.
