Please Ignore Bush

Please Ignore Bush

Comments 1 comment

UN Climate talks in Bali, Indonesia are down to the wire to set new global emissions targets–but the Bush administration is trying to prevent any concrete agreement on cutting carbon. The Bush administration is trying to block progress at crucial negotiations for this next global climate treaty — the successor to the Kyoto Protocol.

This petition sends a message to other countries that Bush’s actions don’t match Americans’ wishes.

The petition just says: “Dear world, Please ignore President Bush. He doesn’t represent us.”

Tell the world that President Bush doesn’t speak for us. Sign the petition, and Avaaz will deliver it to delegates in Bali–letting the Bush administration know that we don’t agree with its obstructionism, and telling the world not to give up hope on Americans.

We’re ready for progress, even if our government is not. Sign the petition now!

Please join me in signing the petition–we need to make sure the world doesn’t let Bush block a strong agreement on climate change!

Thanks!

In its first month of its new global campaigning effort, Avaaz.org has run a climate change tv ad on three continents. 92,000 of their members participated in a global virtual march for peace on Washington DC. They’ve had press coverage in several countries, including the US, UK, France and Columbia. The new site is up in 10 languages.

Take Action! Sign the Petition Calling for Full Middle East Talks

Then join Avaaz to be notified of critical moments when you can take action to make a difference.

It will soon be seven long and devastating years since the top Israeli, Palestinian, and international leaders sat down together to talk peace. ..

Click below to sign our petition calling for full Middle East peace talks — your message will be delivered to summit leaders and published in leading Israeli and Palestinian newspapers on Monday:

Our ad will include the number of signatures and the number of countries from which they’ve come. The more signatures there are, the louder our voice will be. Can you sign, tell your friends and family, and help us get to 100,000 signatures from 150 countries by Monday? Our petition will also be delivered to the “Quartet” powers (the UN, US, European Union and Russia) meeting in another MidEast summit next Wednesday.

It’s time for the international community to step up on this issue. We can’t afford another seven years of bloodshed and war in the Middle East. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict sits at the heart of regional instability, and tensions in the Middle East threaten our security around the world.

The pieces for a renewed peace process are falling into place. The Palestinians have decided to share power, end internal conflict and restart peace talks; the vast majority of Israelis stand ready to support a viable accord. The international community must help cross the next hurdle by bringing all parties to the table.

Billions of us around the world want this conflict solved. That’s just one of the things we have in common. Let’s join across cultures and borders to call for real Middle East talks today. Add your voice and tell your friends – together we will make a difference.

Take a look at the ads.

(Special thanks to dear Elainna for this one!)
