*************************

hey peoples we have an action that is easy and we hope productive. with a
few swipes of a mouse and a click you can help bring attention to the
plight of 12 imprisoned tibetan nuns. you can speak out DIRECTLY to the
chinese government!! all you need to do is copy and send the below message to:
webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
this is their official website lets hope that they will hear us and release
these nuns who have committed no crime.
also cc the Vice President Al Gore so he knows that this is an issue and a
concern people have for the next president and hopefully he will bring this
up in his campaign but this will only happen if we get a massive turnout
for this action:
vice.president@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
to keep track of how many people have done this cc me at:
ai133@xxxxxxxxx
activism doesn't get much easier than this, we want thousands to take part
in this. spread this far and wide. if YOU dont, do this then who will?

The twelve nuns are Prisoners of Conscience who have been imprisoned solely
for the peaceful expression of their beliefs. I am also deeply concerned at
reports that the nuns have been ill-treated while in prison. You have the
opportunity to show the world that you respect human rights. Please do so
by immediately releasing the aforementioned nuns.
Finally, I request information regarding the above individuals current
conditions, and any action you may already be taking to protect them and
other victims of human rights violation in Tibet to be sent to Amnesty
International Group 133, 251 Albany Street, Cambridge, MA, USA 02139.
Thank you for your time and concern in this matter of utmost importance.
Sincerely,
