Act now!

Let's do something to stop the carnage taking place in Lebanon and Israel.

I'm all for the process of being heard and for speaking up. This is my small contribution to the peace effort. Every great journey starts with a small step. Great change can have a humble beginning.

Here's affirming the success of our humble endeavor for peace, and so it is!

Below is the letter that promotes this endeavor. Cut and paster it, put it up on your blog, spread the word and sign the petition.

Dear friends,

Right now a tragedy is unfolding in the Middle East. Thousands of innocent civilians have been killed or wounded in the bombings in Lebanon, Palestine and Israel and the death toll is rising every day. If the US, Syria or Iran get involved, there is a chance of a catastrophic larger war.   UN Secretary General Kofi Annan has called for an immediate ceasefire and the deployment of international troops to the Israel-Lebanon border, and been strongly supported by almost every world leader. This is the best proposal yet to stop the violence, but the US, the UK, and Israel have refused to accept it. I have just signed a petition calling on US President Bush, UK Prime Minister Blair, and Israeli Prime Minister Olmert to support Kofi Annan's proposal. If millions of people join this call, and we advertise our views in newspapers in the US, UK, and Israel, we can help pressure these leaders to stop the fighting. Go to this link and sign up now!

With hope,
