Dear Buffalo’s Fire Reader:
If you have a message you want to reach millions, check out this Web site called Change.org. They are looking for bloggers on a wide range of social issues. I know plenty of smart people in Indian Country who have a lot a knowledge on certain subjects, but they rarely have an outlet for their information. What good is all that information if it can’t be shared? This, folks, is the beauty of the Internet. You don’t need to rely on an over-busy editor or reporter at a newspaper to get your story out before the public, besides most newspaper readership is in heavy decline. But the World Wide Web is thriving with blogs. So, why not join the conversation and be heard. Here is the “be a blogger” link to Change.org 

Hope to read you there.
