President Bush: Boycott Olympics Opening Ceremony
Target: President George Bush
Sponsored by: Care2
Sponsored by: Care2
When China was awarded the 2008 games seven years ago, the international community expected that this opportunity would help improve China's human rights record. Yet the world has witnessed exactly the opposite. Despite rallying cries around the world, China continues its harsh crackdown on protesters in Tibet and internal dissent, most recently by imprisoning noted human rights activist Hu Jia. But with the blazing tour of the Olympic torch, millions of protesters from Paris to San Francisco have been speaking out passionately for human rights in China, Tibet, Darfur and Burma. President Bush has a unique opportunity to speak out for those who are silenced. By boycotting the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics, President Bush can join other world leaders in urging China to stop its repression of activists and work to improve human rights at home and in Darfur and Burma where China wields great influence.

Mr President: there could be no greater statement against all of China's human rights abuse than your absence at the Beijing Olympic Games opening ceremony.

Human rights are important issues. This is the best opportunity we have to send a firm message to China that their record is poor.

the Chinese are a cruel race of people. What they have done to Tibet and the Dali Lama in the past is horrendous and they must be taught a lesson! It is time for the people of other countries and their leaders to put a stop to this cruelty!

I have long boycotted Chinese products because of their human rights violations. I am saddened and horrified by what is happening in Tibet. Please let's boycott the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Beijing.

Dear president Bush Im a Proud South African, I am one of many White South Africans that stood up against Apartheid It takes only a normal man like me to voice his opinion it takes a great man to Change the way things are, with the power given to you by the people of the USA you can be that great man.
