Call Me Opinionated...

We all have those causes that we believe in, and I'm no different. Web ribbons are the in thing to have on pages now, so I found some that correspond to my personal beliefs on issues. They are in no specific order.

Where the ribbons are ambiguous, I will explain them below.

This signifies that I am pro-choice (NOT pro-abortion, there IS a BIG difference!)

This signifies that I am pro-capital punishment.

Go here to create your own ribbon for your own pet cause. Just click!

Stop the violence and Support cancer research

Stop the domestic violence

Citizen 101 is a campaign to educate America about basic elements of government

Click ribbon to find out what this is all about. Great site if you want to combat the ontological arguement.

Stop partial birth abortions

Help find missing children

Men support abuse prevention also

Help combat childhood cancer

Remember those who died on TWA Flighgt 800 July 1996

Diabetes research

Support those churches that have been the subjects of recent bombings

Support children with disabilities

This is to signify other campaigns that I have not found actual ribbons for
