Org” “ For years I have been agonizing over how to make a difference in this world. We live on a violent planet that takes tens of thousands of lives every year or two through floods, mud slides, tsunamis, fires, earthquakes, volcanic eruption with ash and lava flows, poisonous gases, radiation, meteorites, avalanches, hurricanes, tornadoes, dust storms, sand storms, drought, land slides, plague, air-born, insect-born, and animal-born viruses and deadly micro- organisms. If that isn't bad enough, leaders of countries and radical groups are killing hundreds of thousands more. Mankind is facing even greater dangers than ever before. On a local level, men, women, and children act out this same violence against each other. …and terrorist would like to get a nuclear device and kill us all. Why? It's because we have watched and said nothing about injustices and we have done little or not enough to help others. Most of US have not helped at all. We are have been too busy with our own lives or waiting for government to do something; but you have seen that government is most often inept and often headed by little people with small minds. So, it is up to us -- the people -- to make things better.” Al Sheppard Add your voice to contribute to the cause of “World Peace and Disaster Relief” It's fun to write poetry... and you can also earn big money and win great prizes for “your original unpublished” poetry all year long, but will you also write poetry for “World Peace and Disaster Relief”?

Promoted by: USA Nationals.Com Arts, Music & Talent Foundation

This poetry web site will be aggressively promoted and advertised to millions of people worldwide through the Internet and traditional advertising media campaigns. Now is the time for you to participate. Poetry has a huge following and "appreciation base" but up to now it has been confined to small quiet isolated sectors. NO MORE!!! The Internet is still expanding. It is even in small third world cities and towns. Millions of people who don't own computers sit and write and search the Internet in Internet cafés. Through the magic of the Internet we will enter into the smallest and into the largest cities and villages worldwide and try to reach people to encourage them to express their feelings, thoughts, hopes and dreams non-violently. Even those who do not participate will benefit emotionally and intellectually from this worldwide exchange, global connection and outlet for thoughts and emotions. For as little as $1.00 you can contribute to this goal by entering your poetry or you can become a sponsor to help further this program in exchange for work on your website, posting your website/business, or other services. What have you done lately for “World Peace, Understanding, and Disaster Relief”? It's not over. People are still caught up in wars and this violent earth is promising even bigger disasters to come -- which by the way we are doing little to prepare for. (ie. living and building on known earthquake faults (schools, hospitals, apartments; moving back into flood and hurricane zones. Put your skepticism aside for "A CHANGE" (the pun is intended). No one is trying to deceive you. This is and honest program a small way to contribute instantaneously in two ways at the same time. Who We Are - About Us We decided to try to do something to make a difference ...to make the world a better and a happier place through communication and helping others regardless of country boundries. We are now contributing to curing the sick or feeding the hungry but as you saw on September the 11th the most serious ills of the world are in people who have lost touch with their inner light and the world as an extended community. We chose poetry because we love it and we also love to write ... and we know how satisfying writing is to the soul of the writer and to the reader. We have become so busy and our lives have become so complicated that we have forgotten that the greatest advances of civilization have started with new means of communication and with the single spark of an idea. One person CAN make a difference. That person is YOU and I!

Now Something For Single Men!!! Here's another way to contribute to world peace -- REALLY? YES, REALLY!!! Elena's Models 1 out of 4 women in Eastern Europe want to marry an American or Western European man. That's a FACT!!!! Go to my Weekly Tips page and read this news article about the Russian Parliament trying to stop it. Russian Parliamentarian tries to stop beautiful Russian women from marrying foreigners. It's one of the worlds best kept secrets! Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Belarus, and all other Eastern European girls of model quality. This is a very nice site. They have a good search engine that allows you to search profiles according to the date of publication (and a couple of dozen other parameters such as age, height, weight, hair and eye color, education, knowledge of foreign languages, etc, etc); you can also enter your own age and see only profiles of women that would be interested in you. The price per address drops if you order more, so if you order, for example, 50 addresses, one address costs less than $2. They also offer men's reverse publication in Russian/Ukrainian newspapers and listing with 372 local Russian marriage agencies. But in our opinion, their best service is Weekly Ladies Catalog where they publish data of all new women that they received for the past week. For a very reasonable fee you receive access to profiles of more than 800 women, all with photos, postal/email addresses and phone numbers - and best of all, the data has been submitted recently, so all women are still available and actively searching a partner. (You can find the link to this service from their "Services" page.) Elena's Models guarantees high response rate when using the Weekly Catalog service; they also have verifiable testimonials. This seems to be one of the best offers around (after all, one address would cost you only $0.12), so check out this site - joining is free! If you have been on the other sites like Yahoo Personals and Match.Com and ALL the others, YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME AND MONEY!!!!!!! Men, take my word for it. You WILL be lucky at making new friends ON ELENA'S SITE. Click here to go to the Weekly Tips page or choose a woman from below and click on her photo. Hello men!!! Click on my picture and e-mail me. There are thousands of us. We are all for real and despirately seeking a good man. Give us a chance and you will see. I will write a special web page weekly on this web site to tell the story of average just plain men who found beautyful, wonderful, traditional, old fashion ladies on Elena's web site. It is reliable and they make sure their women are for real with you. There are pitfalls to watch out for and there are many tips that you should know to be successful. I will explain these things soon on this site. CHECK BACK HERE WEEKLY (save the page in your Favorites or Bookmark it) and click on this link. dont-stick-your-foot-in-your-mouth-read-this-weekly-to-be-successful-with-women I will try to write something everyweek that are important lessons learned that will make you more successful with the ladies. --and yes they are ladies. I just returned from a trip to Eastern Europe and they DRESS TO KILL OVER THERE!!!! I have never seen anything like it in my entire life. The photos you see on this site are in most cases actually how they dress. -- another of the world's best kept secrets -- How beautiful the average woman is over there.
