>> HOW TO HELP BURMA?
>>
>> If everybody we know emails a request (not for tickets, but for
>> China's action for Burma) to ticketsupport at beijing2008.cn, it will
>> significantly slow down Olympics ticket sales and call China's
>> attention to the matter. China may ignore protests, hunger strikes,
>> petitions, wearing-red shirts, etc. But China cannot ignore these
>> emails, which get in the way of processing Olympics ticket requests.
>> Please see the template at the bottom. Please also pledge to send the
>> same email every 6 hours, or every time you check your email. If they
>> get tens of thousands of email a day, they will have to do something
>> about it.
>>
>> WHY?
>>
>> China should use its leverage to bring reconciliation and peace in
>> Burma. However, it recently vetoed a Security Council resolution on
>> Burma. Yet with the threat of Olympics boycott, China has yielded
>> significantly to condemn Sudan's genocidal regime.
>>
>> Please note that this action is NOT a call to boycott the Olympics.
