Many people often agree with the ideas expressed on this KoreanTruth website. Doing something positive is not complicated or time consuming. Here are some suggestions:
- Visit message boards at places like Yahoo where there are always many threads on the Korean situation such as this one:
http://post.news.messages.yahoo.com/bbs?.mm=NEWS&action=l&ft=1&board=37138469&sid=37138469&title=South%20Korea%20urges%20North%20Korea%20to%20abide%20by%20anti-nuclear%20pacts%0A&tid=apkoreasnuclear&date=10-17-2002&url=story.news.yahoo.com%2Fnews%3Ftmpl%3Dstory%26u%3D%2Fap%2F20021017%2Fap_wo_en_po%2Fkoreas_nuclear_1&.sig=4D3XFXqw7f2yXFnVIfadhw--
Korean news websites also have message boards that need postings that shed light on the various atrocities in North Korea, the lack of critical news coverage in South Korea, the tunnel issue, the election ballot controversy, and the wide spread presence of North Korean spies in ROK. Be sure to post links to support your comments and by all means, be polite and do not attack those with different opinions, as we can be the most effective by writing clear facts and educating people in a calm manner. (Those posters who do the most vocal attacks usually have the weakest arguments, right?)
- Contact various media outlets and encourage them to write articles or conduct investigations into some of the information posted on the KoreanTruth website. There are plenty of good stories that need more exposure. Here are links to media resource pages:

- Organize a protest in front of North Korean embassies throughout the world. These kinds of protests will get greater media attention if you let local press know you will be holding your demonstration. Plan a few weeks in advance. We will gladly publicize your gathering if you let KoreanTruth know at least 10 days in advance. We also encourage demonstrations at other well known locations, but please obey all local laws as we want respectful and positive coverage.
- Support the U.S. and Korean military stationed in South Korea, as they are on the front lines against a vicious and brainwashed military force. These men and women would rather be warm and safe with their families, but risk their lives on a daily basis to protect the people of South Korea. Many soldiers can have their spirits lifted by getting supportive emails, care packages, or other forms of encouragement. The silent majority of people in the U.S. and South Korea need to let these troops know we do not take them for granted.
- Start discussion groups on college campuses that address the cruel and horrible regime of North Korea, and how human rights are meaningless there. This is important, as many Koreans and others who want reunification as well as the U.S. military to leave the peninsula do not address the fact that North Korea has no plans on adopting democracy. Does anyone think Kim Jong Il wants to give up his fantasyland kingdom and free all his tortured prisoners in the camps? Challenge people you know on these points, as we all want peace and non nuclear solutions, but appeasing the North Koreans will not lead to an end of suffering, it will encourage more.
