If people that care about aids, cancer, heart disease, autism, poverty and hunger could get 4 million people to join an organization devoted to each of those things mentioned you would see positive results.

(59 posts)About 4 million members x $35.00 for yearly membership = 140 million dollars in just one year. More than enough to cover operating expenses + plenty left over.
