Sorry, I can't wait for an Open Thread and I refuse to hijack any diary which is not obviously written by a troll.  I am guilty of writing snotty comments in stoopid candidate diaries -- but I really cannot understand why critical diaries such as Clytemnestra's diary, 1-800 SUICIDE needs our help is left floundering and dropping off the Recent Diary List.

I'm sorry I don't have time to do a proper diary, but there's something we all should do. Sign a petition to keep the government's hands off of the confidential data on individuals in crisis, people who call 1-800-SUICIDE.

If you can, please do one more thing... make a small donation here to help them keep the lines open, you can read more about the plight of 1-800-SUICIDE here.

Ilona did a great diary on August 11th, and that, plus other people helping out, got them a two week extension. But that's almost up. Tomorrow they run out of time.
