Why Glutter was Nominated…

Hi Hi,

I have been plagued with computer problems and cannot update at all. I feel a little bad about this because I have been nominated for the freedom blog awards and i feel I should be at least "doing" something during this period as there are many new people coming to check out this site.

So here are some notable press mentions, the story of the "black out" protest that I headed and I hope the words of others will go towards explaining why i was nominated and what Glutter is about.

Thank you.
