" burma is ruled by one of the worst military dictatorships in the world. last month buddhist monks and nuns began marching and chanting prayers to call for democracy. the protests spread and hundreds of thousands of burmese people joined in, but they've been brutally attacked by the military regime.
i just signed a petition calling on burma's powerful ally china and the UN security council to step in and pressure burma's rulers to stop the killing. the petition has exploded to over 500,000 signatures in a few days and is being advertised in newspapers around the world, delivered to the UN security council, and broadcast to the burmese people by radio. we're trying to get to 1 million signatures this week, please sign below and tell everyone!
