Not a Straight Path!

I have been suggesting to a number of organisations that they should take some form of lead in raising awareness in support of the people of Tibet (see post below).  Am I being rather naive in thinking anyone might listen to me, I'm not from Tibet and my Buddhism journey has been only about 4 weeks?  This has led me down another route to think about...politics and Buddhism; my journey to Buddhism has not been very straight so far, I am wandering around a bit I wonder, and should I concentrate on a more straightforward path?
