Ray Charles World Tribute 

To The Victims Of Terrorism

 The Ray Charles World Tribute To The Victims of Terrorism

 A 24 hour Webcast, Recognizing The Victims Of Terrorism World Wide.  The show will be made up of over 100 entertainers performing songs and testimonials about love and world peace.  There will be no economic component to the show, no asking for donations, no marketing pitches.  Everyone that signs on for access to the feed will have to make a written pledge to denounce terrorism as the price of admission.

 It is our intent to deliver a message that will touch a common denominator in all mankind.  Regardless of nationality, religion, or culture we can all agree that waging war against innocent civilians is "Wrong" and will not be accepted in modern society.

 This first of its kind online event is intended to support our government’s efforts to demonstrate the American concern for all people of the world who have been victims of terrorism.  All monies or in-kind services donated by sponsoring companies or corporations will be used entirely to cover production costs of the event.  This event is completely non-profit and all donations, be they monetary or in products and services will be tax deductible.

This type of production is ideally suited for the Internet.  With the full support of the dot.com hardware and software companies, we can utilize the existing high-speed digital pipeline already in place, including wireless and traditional broadcast platforms. 

 Every cable company has a fully equipped video production studio in every major city in the United States.  Universities and colleges across the country and around the world have similar production facilities.  All of these entities have direct access to high-speed data lines. By using these existing facilities, all the entertainers and performers would have to do, is go to their local cable company or college and perform one song or video tape their message.  Our goal is to secure 100 or more artists and celebrities to contribute at least a five minute performance or statement in support of our cause.  With the major world ISP's participating, we can easily set up the sign in sites and centralize the incoming data.  All during the show we will be promoting the online numbers similar to any pledge or fundraising event.

 This would be a real time demonstration of what the World Wide Web can do.  If we can pull the major players together to donate their existing infrastructure we could have millions of people around the world online for one event. in one space and at one time.  Think of it the same as the "Millennium Celebrations of 2000".  This would be a boost to the entire dot.com industry.  It would show everyone not only the capability of the Internet, but also the future of the Net.

 Imagine what would happen if millions of people came together in one accord musically to denounce terrorism and waging war against innocent civilians.  We may never stop wars but maybe with a couple million signatures on a digital petition, we can get governments and political groups to change the way wars are fought.  We might never stop extremism but maybe those with extreme ideas might come to understand that terrorism, as a form of political protest, is not acceptable in modern day society "Anywhere In The World".  Maybe by motivating the leaders of the world we can make a difference with this new communications tool called the Internet.
