I don’t like to talk about statistics of campaigns still alive. But I’m going to do an exception to talk about the campaign I started 2 days ago.
In 2 days, more than 850 people sent emails to TIME magazine using this blog to demonstrate how active are the Catalan people about the independence, and the most importance in a non-violent way. Sometimes independentism is seen as a radical movement related to violence. Catalan independence movement has a lot of problems but violence.
There has not been a reaction as far as I know on TIME magazine, but there has been another step forward of the Catalan independentism towards the education of the US citizens (Artistdogboy from Washington wrote a nice post about that just yesterday); again peacefully. I insist on that fact because sometimes international eyes only see violence in TV, and only remember violence in their brain. Keeping the world’s eyes without violence is difficult. As an example the list of TIME magazine, trigger of the whole story. As I like to say, Catalan independence will be democratic or won’t be. But it needs a double effort on education.
TIME magazine has published an article on the top 10 nations aspiring to achieve their own independent state. Unfortunately, the Catalan Countries are not mentioned, apparently because most people outside of Spain, France or Italy do not know much about the Catalan independence movement.
Therefore we believe the internationalization and education of people around the world about the Catalan independence movement is of crucial importance. Right now we are contacting TIME magazine to let them know about the oversight in their article.
We encourage you to write a personal email to letters@time.com or use the form letter that can be sent directly from our blog Whispers From The US, Internationalization of Catalan Cause to Time magazine.
The Catalan supporters have reacted impressively. In only 24h almost 500 emails have been sent already to the editors of TIME magazine explaining the situation of the Catalan Countries.
Total number of emails sent to TIME magazine: #27980

Buying from a dealer or a directly from the owner? In dealers, in general, you should be careful as they know how to make business. They are professionals. Take care also with individuals selling cars, specially if you don’t know enough about mechanics.
Where to find second-hand cars? if you want to buy it from a dealer but also from an owner, you will find very useful Craigslist.
