Today, our petition to China and the UN Security Council to stop the brutal crackdown on peaceful Burmese protesters is being delivered to the world in a full page ad in the Financial Times worldwide -- but the ad was rejected by other newspapers like the South China Morning Post and the Singapore Straits Times. Our message is an invitation to China to do the right thing in Burma, not an attack -- yet even that seemed too much for media that fear Chinese reprisals.

We won't let our voice be silenced like this. We're taking our message to the streets, in an international day of action on Saturday -- details are on our petition page, and below. And we're redoubling our efforts to make our voice louder: our petition is approaching 600,000 signatures, closing fast on our 1 million goal.The petition link is below - send this email to all your friends and family and help us reach 1 million voices by Saturday!

To organize an event for the global day of action, just follow the steps below. To attend an event, scroll down our petition page at the link above for a list of events around the world. Here's some simple steps for organizers:

# Choose a public place or landmark in your town, and organize friends to go there all wearing the same maroon red clothing as the Burmese monks. Tell local media about your plans, and email the details and contact information to dayofaction@avaaz.org -- we will try to advertise your event on our petition page.
# Ask people attending your event to share their feelings on this crisis and the need for action, and then tie a red ribbon or piece of cloth around fences or trees to leave a more lasting sign of your support for the Burmese.

The worldwide outcry to save Burma's peaceful monks and protesters is one more sign of how the world is getting closer, feeling increasingly responsible to each other, and for each other as human beings. We're bringing a voice of humanity to this desperate situation, and we must not be silenced.

With hope and determination,

Ricken, Paul, Graziela, Ben, Sarah, Iain, Galit, Pascal, Milena and the whole Avaaz Team.

maybe im just retarded, but i dont understand how your post came from mine?  why the praise for bush?

the U.S's sanctions are nothing but sending 'nice' remarks for the U.S. citizens' conscience... so we can feel like WE did something...  but i think that prayers (positive, loving, supportive thoughts) would do great wonders. seems that the sanctions will serve nothing but to make us forget burma and let the gov't take care of it.

------------------------------------

Sorry, by associating your previous post with mine I made it look like your a big Bush fan.  Oops.  My prayers go out to the Burmese people who are struggling against this oppressive military regime.

I feel sorry for the people of Burma but feel prayers are not going to help, perhaps concentrated emission's of peace .

hey guys... 
for those who would pray, then remember Myanmar (Burma)...  hundreds of thousands of citizens and monks are currently marching in protest of the violent military dictatorship.  last time this happened in 1988, thousands were slaughtered by the military... 

they have cut internet access now and i would bet are about to crack down.

I bet Bush will do something for the people of Burma and the Buddhist Monk's.  Most of the negative rhetoric toward Bush is baseless imaginings from those who inspire anger and hate.  Rosie Odonnell said, " for the first time in history steel was melted by fire."  That was about the most stupid remark I have ever heard.  With just a fourteen hundred degree flame I can cut through steel very fast.

From the UN's own Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948):
