Hi Kat, The American Friends Service Committee has a venerable history in their contribution to America. They have been there not just "talking" as some have suggested but by "doing". They have been there in floods, fires, disasters, shipping CARE packages, and renouncing war whether Vietnam or Iraq. They have been at the forefront in improving race relations, encouraging tolerance by understanding our diversity and bringing different cultures together. They refuse to acknowledge "undue distinction between men" and women as well. They are not lobbyists in the corporate world but their influence although not really known much about is considerable. When they say "War Is Not The Answer" they have the history and wisdom by their actions to back that up. Here's to the Quakes. Long may they prosper. Frank
