just two years ago today (January 30, 2009), thousands of blogs worldwide published our manifesto for Solidarity. that day in INTERNET heard a sublime hymn to equality and solidarity with the poor: to those who have nothing. The Manifesto reached the sum of over two million pages, in English it published. The nine other languages \u200b\u200btranslated. A spirit of enthusiasm and joy took possession of all.
It's been a year since he joined us all dream. The world has not improved in this respect: it is worse. So here I propose all do every year, every January 30 a call of solidarity: the whole network will echo a good day, a handful of men and women shared a dream.
That dream is spreading throughout the world. To be universalized, that raise awareness of the problem, reminding the world every year. So while one person dies of hunger in this world, I repeat, while a single human being dies of malnutrition, "and this blog is still alive," will continue to publish every year, every January 30, the Manifesto for Solidarity.

Therefore, we maintain this perpetual reminder as expressly condemns the daily injustice and ignored by the powerful, to the silent genocide of so many innocents. And we do so in the hope that this initiative and fester every year, every January 30, Internet is a unique and united voice that shakes the conscience of the world.

"Who better than Gandhi to present, together with his own words, the Manifesto published here. The sentences will read below, all of Gandhi, perfectly sum up, in my opinion, the content and spirit of this "Manifesto for Solidarity. "
"Earth has enough to satisfy everyone's needs but not enough to satisfy the greed of some."
"Tomorrow we may have to sit in front of our children and tell them that we were defeated. But we can not look into their eyes and tell them to live well because we dared to fight. "
"They say I'm a hero, I weak, timid, almost insignificant, being as I did what I did, imagine what they can do all of you together."
Let us now join all our voices. With the common spirit and just when it needs to fulfill 61 years of the death of Gandhi, the author of this blog, Cornelivs, published the Manifesto of Solidarity. I therefore invite all who share this message of solidarity and so wish (friends, acquaintances, readers and other stakeholders) to also publish it on their blogs and spread it to all possible media. I wish every blogger, when put on his blog this manifesto, remember what I thought Gandhi: "Almost everything you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do" and that "The most atrocious of the bad things bad is the silence of good people. "
