Hello Meena,

We get served the news we elect to see. Its a figure of statistics, the 
majority decide what takes priority. Seems like the mindset of the majority has 
to change. Towards which your efforts are misdirected. The first thing that 
people think of when seeing a "forward this to all your friends" email is:
1. Delete the damn thing.
2. Think of the entire concept as rubbish and do the exact opposite of it.

If you wanted a genuine discussion and concern, all you had to do was be 
personal and post it in your words in your format. Not a forwarded chain mail 
letter.
