Turn off the Beijing Olympics
We are asking one million people throughout the world to sign this
petition to state they will not watch the Beijing Olympics on television
unless China:
1) Stops blocking a United Nations arms embargo on Burma and stops selling
weapons to Burma's regime, and
2) Ends its support for Burma's regime. If China does not change its policies, you will:
- Not watch the Beijing Olympics, especially the opening and closing ceremonies.
- Not purchase Olympics souvenirs and merchandise
- During the Olympics you will not purchase goods from Olympic corporate sponsors.
Sign the Petition at http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/1189/t/5102/signUp.jsp?key=3127
As the Beijing Olympics approach, each and every citizen of conscience throughout the world has a decision to make: do we lend our support to China by watching the Olympics or do we turn off our televisions? We, and leaders of the democracy movement in Burma, are asking you to
turn it off. In fact, we are asking one million people throughout the world to
sign up to turn off their televisions and not participate in the Olympics, unless China changes its policies on Burma. Also, we are asking those that sign up to not purchase Olympics merchandise or products from
Olympic sponsors.
