Dear friend,
I'm hoping you can join me on an emergency petition from
citizens around the world to the U.N. Security Council. The
petition's going to be delivered to the 15 member states of
the Security Council on THURSDAY, MARCH 6.
If hundreds of thousands of us sign, it could be an enormously
important and powerful message -- people from all over the
world joining in a single call for a peaceful solution. But
we really need everyone who agrees to sign up today. You can
do so easily and quickly at:
http://www.moveon.org/emergency/
The stakes couldn't really be much higher. A war with Iraq
could kill tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians and inflame
the Middle East. According to current plans, it would require
an American occupation of the country for years to come. And
it could escalate in ways that are horrifying to imagine.
We can stop this tragedy from unfolding. But we need to speak
together, and we need to do so now. Let's show the Security
Council what world citizens think. |

Those that want to go to war regardless of the UN security councils decision will do so - so why do you think a bunch of nobodies like us signing a petition is gonna have any effect at all???
I'm not anti-war, I'm not pro-war. I'm still trying to make a decision here............ |

don't send anything to the UN. The millions of emails sent to protest war have actually harmed and brought down their computer networks. The UN has stopped accpting any emails and petitions. All the UN email adress you see are probably not working.
I wonder if those who setup those petitions don't have a hidden agenda of crippling the UN information technology infrastructure... |

No this is different. there was an email circulating (i must have got it twenty or more times) that asked you to send your petitions to the UN. this is not the same. this is collected by the pro democracy site MOVEon.org and will be submitted to the UN by them with a list of names.
just recieved an email from moveon:
| quote: | The response to our emergency petition to the U.N. Security
Council has been nothing short of extraordinary. Less than
two days after the petition was launched, over 550,000 people
have signed, from over 200 countries. It's a strong message
from the peoples of the world that the Security Council
should support tough inspections in Iraq, not war. It's also
the fastest-growing online petition we've ever seen -- and
already one of the largest in history.

the antiwar movement is growing, and we are making a difference. were it not for the massive peace protests february 15th, the war would probably have already started.
KEEP SIGNING PEOPLE! |

Dear MoveOn supporter,
In the emergency petition we presented to the U.N. Security
Council on Monday, over a million of us joined together to ask
for tough inspections, not war. It was an amazing and
unprecedented show of global unity that brought folks from
virtually every country together in one voice. (See below for
a more detailed description of how Monday's delivery went.)
Signing the petition is an important first step, but in the
face of an ever-closer and still unjustified war, we need to
escalate our activity. That's why it's so important that
every person who signed the emergency petition take the next
step: joining the wave of candlelight vigils that will circle
the globe this Sunday. This is going to be a massive global
event. Already -- just since Tuesday -- 1,605 vigils have been
scheduled in 77 countries. You can see what vigils have been
scheduled in your area, and sign up for one, at:
http://www.globalvigil.org
The site will show you how many people are signed up to attend
the vigils near you. Spread the word to your friends, have
them sign up on the site, and we can all watch as the numbers
grow.
Beginning in New Zealand, these locally organized candlelight
vigils will circle around the globe. They'll be beautiful,
powerful, and inspiring. They'll send an eloquent and clear
message that the world wants peace. And they'll be supported
by many religious leaders -- including Archbishop Desmond
Tutu, a Nobel Peace Prize winner -- who will help to
articulate the moral case against war.
Never before have so many coordinated vigils taken place
around the globe. We have the opportunity on Sunday to show
just how the world feels about the war on Iraq -- but the
impact depends on your participation. Please take some time
to join millions in countries around the world in a Global
Vigil for Peace. Sign up now at:
http://www.globalvigil.org
If you can't make a vigil, you can still join the global
action on Sunday. Just put Christmas lights or anything that
shines in your window on Sunday evening.
As for our U.N. petition, we'll still be delivering updates
to the Security Council, so if you have friends or
colleagues who haven't signed, please ask them to go to:
http://www.moveon.org/emergency/
Together, we can avert this war. |
