Corruption - kill it.
Question:
Thanks for coming and speaking at GW tonight, I really found your mix
of a general perspective to take combined with practical follow up
details very inspiring but also useful. You pointed me towards a few
organizations made up of people that are similarly outraged...one was
Transparency International as well as a few more related to corruption
and helping countries transition out of former dictatorial periods.
I'd really appreciate it if you could forward me those links. Thanks
again, good luck with whatever direction you decide to invent your
life in...
First, you'd love this book:

Second, check out below for lots of organizations that align with you.
I'd contact the leaders of all of them with a crisp email stating why
you are good for them. It's a little annoying, but so is tolerating
corruption :). Organizations/people that work to stop the nonsense:
International Committee for Peace in Africa
Human Rights Watch
Amnesty International
UN Global Compact
Interaction
Kimberly Process
World Bank (http://web.worldbank.org/WBSITE/EXTERNAL/TOPICS/EXTPUBLICSECTORANDGOVERNANCE/EXTANTICORRUPTION/0,,contentMDK:20221872~menuPK:384461~pagePK:148956~piPK:216618~theSitePK:384455,00.html
