Passi nel mondo

Ho ricevuto questa mail e mi pare una buona idea.
per chi capisce l'inglese, potrebbe essere un piccolo modo per far muovere qualcosa...
spero che chi legge questo blog (quei due o tre che ogni tanto ci passano) aderisca all'iniziativa.

Dear all,
Please pardon this form letters but Burma needs our help FAST....

HOW TO HELP BURMA?

If
everybody we know emails a request (not for tickets, but for China's
action for Burma) to ticketsupport@beijing2008.cn, it will
significantly slow down Olympics ticket sales and call China's
attention to the matter. China may ignore protests, hunger strikes,
petitions, wearing-red shirts, etc. But China cannot ignore these
emails, which get in the way of processing Olympics ticket requests.

Please
see the template at the bottom. Please also pledge to send the same
email every 6 hours, or every time you check your email. If they get
tens of thousands of email a day, they will have to do something about
it.

WHY?

China should use its leverage to bring
reconciliation and peace in Burma. However, it recently vetoed a
Security Council resolution on Burma. Yet with the threat of Olympics
boycott, China has yielded significantly to condemn Sudan's genocidal
regime.

Please note that this action is NOT a call to boycott the Olympics.

Send to ticketsupport@beijing2008.cn every 6 hours, or every time you check your email.

Subject: re: tickets

Dear Sirs/Madams,

I am very interested in purchasing tickets to some of the events at next year's Olympic games.

However
I cannot, in good conscience, attend the Beijing Olympics unless your
government uses its influence to improve the political situation in
Burma.

China has substantial economic interests in the country,
provides large amounts of economic aid, and invests heavily in
infrastructure projects there. Additionally, your government provides
extensive logistical support to Burma's military government. All this
make China uniquely placed to influence it.

The people of Burma
have, in a very peaceful manner, insisted that their rights be
respected. I ask no more of your government than that it cease its
support for the current regime, and encourage dialog with the
democratically elected representatives of the Burmese nation.

I,
the Burmese people, and the world would be grateful for your assistance
in this matter. Your courage will go a long way towardsmaking the 2008
Olympics a success.

With sincere thanks,
