What in the hell does awareness do? I will give you an answer: Make upper middle class school girls feel better about themselves while thousands are slaughtered. Great. Good job. Sorry if I seem callous, but if you don't already know what the US is doing in the area already (hint: what these people are asking for) you should probably shut up until you have read a little bit on the subject.
Watch the video. Sing along...All they are sayyyying is give war a chance.

The organization brought the public pressure to bear on the Obama administration that resulted in the current deployment. It's a social media campaign to keep the pressure on congress to actually finish what we started. Not a bad thing.

This movement is bringing a lot of positive attention to SF and their mission re: UW/FID. I would have thought that's a good thing. The Navy would know what to do with this public relations windfall.

I have questions about their financial transparency and I doubt they'll get my money, but they address that issue as well. At least they aren't saying lets all get together in a drum circle for world peace. They're saying put pressure on your representatives to finish the job and kill this bastard.
