Friends thank
you for investing your time visiting
mySocial
Vibepage in supporting
the Whaleman Foundation.
The Whaleman Foundation is a public IRS 501 (c) (3) non-profit research,
education, conservation, and wildlife film production organization dedicated
to preserving and protecting our ocean world. Whaleman's primary mission
is to educate key decision makers, while raising public awareness, on
the issues that affect cetaceans (dolphins, whales & porpoises)
and their critical habitats through our films, research, campaigns,
and media outreach.
Over the past couple of weeks, I have "tweeted"
with Hayden a lot on many topics including family and causes we are
passionate about. The more I get to know her as a person, the more I
have come to admire her passion for this project. This is not a celebrity
endorsement but rather a person with a belief and doing something with
her celebrity to reach many people and I'm proud to support her. Now
most of you wont create a web page to carry on the message like me,
but you can support the the Whaleman Foundation, Hayden and myself by
simply signing the petition and spreading the word as well. Thank you
again.

Click on the book cover to go to Peter
Heller's site.
Peter Heller spent two months at sea
aboard the eco-pirate ship Farley Mowat as it hunted down the
Japanese whaling fleet in the ice and storms of Antarctica.
The book is a wild high seas adventure set against the backdrop
of brutal commercial whaling and an ocean in peril.
This is the book that inspired me to
learn more about this issue and become active in spreading the
word. I have been fortunate to have met and worked with so many
compassionate people that share the same beliefs that I have.
Please
take a minute and click on the picture above. This is a link to
Hayden's latest Blog entry on SocialVibe.com It is a powerful
message about what is happening to Whales.
The video below is a CNN
link on the same issue. The video and Hayden's blog can be seen

Please take a look
Although my twitter conversations are personal,
I wanted to share this one very special reply from Hayden. This reply
was in response to creating this page to help support her cause. I am
becoming very active with it now as well. I know she visits this page
(and my web site) so I wanted to publicly thank her for her support
and also for spreading awareness on this issue.
