Customize your message Dear Friend, I recently pledged to not watch the Beijing Olympics on television and wanted to ask you <a href="http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/1189/t/5102/signUp.jsp?key=3127">to click here to do the same.</a> This years summer Olympics will take place in China. The Chinese government promotes their Olympic slogan of, ONE WORLD ONE DREAM while propping up one of the worlds most brutal military dictatorships in Burma. As you probably saw in the newspapers, last fall hundreds of thousands of Buddhist monks marched in Burma calling for human rights and democracy. With funding and weapons from China, the Burmese regime cracked down on the peaceful monks, slaughtering hundreds and imprisoning thousands more. That crackdown was just the tip of the iceberg. Using its veto power, China has blocked the United Nations from stopping the carnage in Burma. In a campaign of terror, the Burmese military regime has destroyed 3,200 villages, forcing 1.5 million people to flee their homes. The regime has recruited more child soldiers than any other country in the world. The regime has also locked up Aung San Suu Kyi, the world's only imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize recipient. As a result of China's policies, the UN is yet again making the same mistakes the world made on Rwanda and Darfur. <a href="http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/1189/t/5102/signUp.jsp?key=3127">Sign up now</a>, or read more. Unless China changes its policies on Burma, I am going to turn off my television, refuse to purchase products associated with the Olympics, and instead do something for Burma on the opening day of the Olympics. The Beijing Olympics begin on August 8, 2008. On the same date in 1988, thousands of peaceful protesters were massacred by Burma's regime during Burma’s first democracy uprising. This date, 8/8/88, should not be forgotten. It is easy to do, all that is asked is to: - Not watch the Beijing Olympics, specifically the opening and closing ceremonies. - Not purchase Olympics souvenirs and merchandise - During the Olympics not purchase goods from Olympic corporate sponsors.
