I got it in a forwarded email
------------------------------

I am a Pakistani woman, CEO of www.allvoices.com , a new media site in the US focused on global news and views. Our mission is to bring diversity to traditional media by adding the immediacy and clarity of voices on the ground.

My team and I have been working in stealth mode, and we had planned to launch in 2008. Due to the emergency in Pakistan, we now want to be up and running quickly so we can support voices from Pakistan.

allvoices.com aggregates local and global news stories, blogs, videos
and images by tagging events by geography. We want to supplement this
with your voice. We want you to tell us what is really going on and let
your voices be heard! We provide diversity in reporting and opinions
from on-the-ground reporting, news stories, blogs, and videos--unedited
and unfiltered media that reflect your version of your world.

Come and join the global allvoices.com community and share this site
with your friends and family in Pakistan, especially students. Anyone
can contribute on allvoices whether it is as little as an SMS text
message, an image, a video, or as much as a blog or an article.

You can contribute at www.allvoices.com , or send
us an SMS message at +45-609-91-0280(for Telenor, UFone and Warid) and
+61-427-22-9537 (for Mobilink),or MMS message at mms@allvoices.com
.

The world is listening; we want to hear your voice. Let your reality
shape the news!

:)If all of us have same opinion then this world would be so stagnant. Let's continue the struggle we believe in and make this world a better place.

Cigar,

thank you for wishing me luck on my grassroots project (even though I suspect that in your heart of hearts, you are against my just struggle)

Hey Thinkingstorm,

This project doesnt side with any opinion. Content of the site is generated by users who can belong to any country, school of thought or opinion. Early launch of this site is to get first hand experience and personal opinion of common man. This site should help you achieving your very goal.

Good Luck!

btw,

Amra's site doesn't work.

She seems like a scam artist.

Dear Cigar and Amra,

I have realized that I want to start a grassroot movement to install musharraf as a dictator for life.

Cubas has (barely) Fidel Castro
Libya has Qaddafi
Palestine had Arafat
Venezuala almost has Hugo Chavez
Bolivians will have Evo Morales

Why can Pakistan not have Musharraf?

So, please help me in this grassroot movement....spread the word
