  • ENOUGHproject isn't saying we should boycott cell phones, which would be impossible.

    What they're saying is that we directly reap the benefits of the mining of conflict minerals.

    If we appreciate the gift that the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo have given us, we should also car about the war that has taken five million lives.

    The first step is to learn a little:

    enoughproject . org

    enoughproject . org/conflict-minerals

  • I agree.

    We should do both.

    Direct our governments to require that all conflict minerals be clearly labeled in large red letters on the package.

    And then ban all conflict minerals.

  • TRUTH TOLD... MAKES SENSE...

  • Thank you for this awakening piece!

  • how would you know though as a consumer you are purchasing something that benifits in someone's suffering

    I don't think that is up to as rather than the gov. why not just eleminate trade with regions in conflict until resolution is met

  • everything has an equal and adverse reaction we take so soething is taken a dollar bill is not worth much to you but to the tree it was cut down

    progress is sumthimes built on the backs of others we should at least stop the problems in this country b4 we go globe trotting imigration and immigration thru the illegal SLAVE sex trade goes on everyday in every american city

  • If you would never in a million years buy heroin from Afghan narco-terrorists, then don't buy blood diamonds, don't buy conflict minerals.

    We shape the world when we vote. We shape the world when we buy.

    With legislation, we can stop American manufacturers and retailers from unintentionally financing war.

    America can be a force for good.
