Ich kopier mal was rein: Erstmal einige Zitate, auf die ich sehr gerne zurückgreife. Immer wenn man die Meinung der Mehrheit teilt, ist es Zeit, sich zu besinnen. Mark Twain [Samuel L. Clemens] (1835 –1910) He who joyfully marches in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice. Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955) Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding. Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955) Victory attained by violence is tantamount to defeat, for it is momentary. Mohandas Gandhi (1869 – 1948) It is better to discuss things, to argue and engage in polemics than make perfidious plans of mutual destruction. Mikhail S. Gorbachev (1931 – ) What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy? Mohandas Ghandi (1869 – 1948) The thought of the future must render wars impossible. Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955) A country cannot simultaneously prepare and prevent war. Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955) The pioneers of a warless world are the youth that refuse military service. Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955) Patriotism is a pernicious, psychopathic form of idiocy. George Bernard Shaw (1856 – 1950) Die Zitate sind nur als Denkanstöße gedacht. Nun der eigentliche Text ---------------------------------------- Dear MoveOn member, The response to our emergency petition to the U.N. Security Council has been nothing short of extraordinary. Less than two days after the petition was launched, over 550,000 people have signed, from over 200 countries. It's a strong message from the peoples of the world that the Security Council should support tough inspections in Iraq, not war. It's also the fastest-growing online petition we've ever seen -- and already one of the largest in history. You can be a part of this enormous success. Just sign the petition at: http://www.moveon.org/emergency/ We'll be delivering the petition to the U.N. Security Council on Monday -- that's when our sources at the U.N. tell us it'll make the most waves. We need to send the petition to press on Friday night, but we'd like to have as many signers as possible by that time. By signing the petition and sharing it with your friends, you can help us hit the 750,000 mark. Please take a moment to sign up today. Sincerely, --Carrie, Eli, Joan, Peter, Wes, and Zack The MoveOn Team March 6th, 2003 P.S. Our petition was launched in cooperation with the American Friends Service Committee, who have a terrific website that provides resources and information on the crisis in Iraq. Check it out at: http://www.afsc.org/iraq/ P.P.S. Yesterday, our local ad went up in over 111 local newspapers across the nation, our billboards are now up in Detroit, San Francisco and L.A., and our "Inspections Work. War Won't." message is on a quarter of all the busses in Washington D.C. The financial support of MoveOn members for these initiatives has been overwhelming -- you funded over 100 local ads in less than a day! One note of caution about giving to good causes: Never give your credit card number over the phone in response to any telephone solicitation. And only give online or by mail to organizations you know and trust (like us). Thanks for making this work possible.
