2. And this second one too: http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/cgi-shl/quiz.pl/lie_lay_quiz.htm

3. Go to Raise Hope for the Congo and see where the companies you support with your money  stand in these rankings: http://www.raisehopeforcongo.org/content/conflict-minerals-company-rankings

4. Write a letter through this form asking the 21 CEOs of the largest companies to do more to keep track of conflict minerals. Use your own email address if possible and WRITE YOUR OWN LETTER, DON'T USE THE FORM THEY GIVE YOU. Ask for help and I will come by and help you write it. : http://www2.americanprogress.org/t/1684/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=6265
