[SustainableTompkins] CEASEFIRE NOW PETITION

[Tony Del Plato]

Dear friends, Right now a tragedy is unfolding in the Middle East.
Thousands of innocent civilians have been killed or wounded in the
bombings in Lebanon, Palestine and Israel and the death toll is rising
every day. If the US, Syria or Iran get involved, there is a chance of
a catastrophic larger war. UN Secretary General Kofi Annan has called
for an immediate ceasefire and the deployment of international troops
to the Israel-Lebanon border, and been strongly supported by almost
every world leader. This is the best proposal yet to stop the violence,
but the US, the UK, and Israel have refused to accept it. I have just
signed a petition calling on US President Bush, UK Prime Minister
Blair, and Israeli Prime Minister Olmert to support Kofi Annan's
proposal. If millions of people join this call, and we advertise our
views in newspapers in the US, UK, and Israel, we can help pressure
these leaders to stop the fighting. Go to the link and sign up now!
