How did Global Importune start?
A. In April of 1997, I was working for consumer advocate Ralph Nader in Washington, DC. At that time I drafted and circulated my first series of 3 letters of concern to Members of Congress and other policy makers on behalf of victims of human rights abuse in Mexico. Officially Global Importune began in October 2000; December 2003 marks the 80th consecutive month that I have been sending letters of concern on behalf of victims of human rights to various country leaders. Since April of 1997, I have signed and mailed at the very least 300 different letters of concern on behalf of victims of human right abuse.
