Amazing. Help us reach 750,000 by Friday. Date: 3/5/03 11:48:15 PM Central Standard Time From: <A HREF="mailto:[log in to unmask]">[log in to unmask]</A> Dear Friends, The response to our emergency petition to the U.N. Security Council has been nothing short of extraordinary. Less than two days after the petition was launched, over 550,000 people have signed, from over 200 countries. It's a strong message from the peoples of the world that the Security Council should support tough inspections in Iraq, not war. It's also the fastest-growing online petition we've ever seen -- and already one of the largest in history. Dear friend, I'm hoping you can join me on an emergency petition from citizens around the world to the U.N. Security Council. Thepetition's going to be delivered to the 15 member states of the Security Council on THURSDAY, MARCH 6.If hundreds of thousands of us sign, it could be an enormouslyimportant and powerful message -- people from all over theworld joining in a single call for a peaceful solution. Butwe really need everyone who agrees to sign up today. You can do so easily and quickly at:http://www.moveon.org/emergency/The stakes couldn't really be much higher. A war with Iraqcould kill tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians and inflamethe Middle East. According to current plans, it would requirean American occupation of the country for years to come. Andit could escalate in ways that are horrifying to imagine.We can stop this tragedy from unfolding. But we need to speaktogether, and we need to do so now. Let's show the SecurityCouncil what world citizens think.Thank you.
