After traveling thru this part of the world, I feel personally connected to the people there and am asking YOU to help the monks and people of Burma.

As you may know the Burmese government is now using violence to stop the citizens and monks from protesting against the military regime ruling Burma.
Several hundred monks have been arrested and hidden away.
Please act now to let the Burmese government know we will not tolerate such abuse.

First, there are several online petitions that you can sign. Here are two:

-The US Campaign for Burma is asking people to collectively gather
88,000 signatures from around the world, calling on Chinese President
Hu Jintao to compel Burma towards valid national reconciliation. Sign
the petition by going to:
www.democracyinaction.org/dia/o...on.jsp

-You can also email the EU President to strengthen the EU position on
Burma, at
burmacampaign.org.uk/eu_action.html

Second, you can follow the news online. News agencies track the
stories that get the most coverage, and by reading about Burma online,
you increase the chances that the story will continue to receive
international attention.
The BBC has good coverage: www.bbc.co.uk, as
does
The Irrawaddy, a local source on the Thai-Burmese border:
www.irrawaddy.org

Third, you can donate money to advocacy campaigns.
The org I recommend is:
www.badasf.org
and secondly:
www.uscampaignforburma.org
