For Someone's Child Goes Live

Announcing a new project and website centred on a song called "Anthem for Someone's Child", dedicated to all the child victims of the needless wars in the Middle-East.



PROJECT FOR SOMEONE'S CHILD GOES LIVE

This is to announce a new project, called "For Someone's Child", and its website, www.forsomeoneschild.com , which has today gone live on the internet. This project — centered around a simple song, entitled "Anthem for Someone’s Child" — has been founded by Alan Morrison, an English singer-songwriter based in Southern France.
The project,"For Someone's Child", is dedicated to all the children across the world who are the innocent victims of war and of the aggressive policies of warmongering politicians. However, at this particular point in history, this project is especially dedicated to those children who are the victims of the wretched and needless bloodshed in the countries of the Middle-East: Iraq, Palestine and Lebanon.
That children should be killed at all — worse, that they should be deliberately targeted for killing, or used as human shields by occupying armed forces from allegedly democratic countries — is not only abhorrent to all sense of human decency but it is surely indicative of the fact that we do not really live in a civilized world. It is scandalous that hardly a single official voice is publicly raised against this terrible slaughter, in spite of the fact that it still goes on day after day.
Before Iran becomes the next country to be bombed "back to the Stone Age" * by Western powers — when thousands of children will again be sacrificed in order to satisfy human greed and hegemony — let us finally stand up in vast numbers to the would-be warmongers, exposing their agenda to the world and letting them know that we will no longer be duped by their inhuman schemes and manipulations.
The "For Someone's Child" website is designed to create a focal point for awareness about these issues which will grow in influence, bringing people together around the song, "Anthem for Someone's Child". Hopefully this will melt hearts and generate ideas for action. Let us make the song an anthem for our time so that the memory of these children will serve to embolden us as we stand against their murderers and neutralise their policies.
Please tell others about this project by sharing the song with them (available on www.forsomeoneschild.com) and by letting us know that you're there and that you care. You can contact us via our e-mail addresses at  info@forsomeoneschild.com or  forsomeoneschild@neuf.fr .
I urgently invite you to discover the information and articles on the "For Someone’s Child" website, and also to listen to the specially recorded song which is available there. Please click on this link:- www.forsomeoneschild.com . The website will be updated regularly, so please return frequently to keep in touch with the latest developments. (You can also find our music-specific website at www.sinceritymusic.com , where there is another song sample and the lyrics/poems of many of our songs).

* This expression was widely reported recently when President Musharraf of Pakistan said that, in the wake of 9/11, the US administration threatened to bomb Pakistan "back to the Stone Age" if it did not join forces with the USA in the so-called "War on Terror" [  http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,11069-2369505,00.html ]

Great - let's go all thew way

This is a great initiative and I support it 100%.
You are right children are in need of special protection as they are unable to protect themselves.
But let's go all the way and protect the very small child - hidden inside the womb.
Just as deserving as those who have been launched into this world.

Let us protect and support the women who seek to rid themselves of their small child.

Protecting all humans whatever their age or status is the sign of a civilised society.
Let us protect all those threatened by war, death penalty, poverty and abortion.

Let us grasp equal rights for all women and their small children rather offer death to the unborn which has delayed womens liberation since 1967.

Women's rights are paramount but not at the expense of their small child.

The small child and all children need our protection - well done in this campaign.
