For Freedom in Belarus

Yesterday evening, Captain's Quarters had a post on Belarus, the last Soviet style dictatorship that serves as a buffer between Russia and the former Soviet satillite countries that have joined the EU in the last two years or so.

Why might I take note? It's because I met Henry Johnson, the Founder of Poglyad a non-profit organization that does all it can to promote Democratic Freedom in that country. Henry has family ties there so this is an issue very close to his heart. Not only that, but Henry has worked very closely with the congressional office that I now work for, as our office has championed this cause. In support of the attempts at Democratic Freedom, that are being snuffed out by the government, there will be a demonstration rally this Sunday at the Embassy of Belarus. I'm going to do my best to be there to support such a great effort.

As important as Democracy in the Middle East is, there are other countries that need to expirence the March of Freedom as well.

For Belarus.
