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 Bush I think that you should boycot the opening ceremonies because he should know that we know that China will never change because once a dictator,always a dictator. China will change only if we change by taking away his factories,and his money supply.

Human right above all else should be the ONLY thing we as a world vcommunity are concerned about.To support the Olympics is saying to the world the US believes in human rights as long as we do not invested interests in that country.

I am one person boycotting the Olympic Games in China for their disrespectful display of power and ignorance. Imagine what influence an entire country can have on China's ignorant and violent acts if we come together as a nation to fight injustice, violence, ignorance and dishonor.
# 10,860:
Human Rights should supercede ANY other consideration! Otherwise the Olympic Games are nothing but a big, crass, commercial, totally hypocritical venture.

I can't imagine a stronger message to the Chinese government about the error of their policies of abuse and repression of its citizens than you boycotting the opening ceremonies based on their abysmal human rights record.
