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.

 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 towards
 making the 2008 Olympics a success.

With sincere thanks,
 

(your name)
