The military is now utilizing violence against monks and other non-violent protestors. They have beaten and arrested hundreds of people, and it is reported that more than a hundred have been killed. We are tired of the international communities just making statements - they must ACT. Show your support and outrage.
Show Your Solidarity With the Saffron Revolution
We are working on bringing in as many world leaders, celebrities, news agencies on board with this story, but you need to play your part as well. It will not just be Americans working for this, but a global movement as well.
Starting this Wednesday (September 26th) we will begin a global week of ACTION. With an explosion of action we will make sure that everyone from world leadersto your next door neighbors have their eyes focused on Burma. Having this global focus will not only help in the protection of those demonstrating, but also make sure that the calls of the monks and civilians gets turned into international action.

Floyd,
Again I support you in all you're doing for trying to stop the insidious atrocities that are taking place in Burma.
Where's the outrage in the media, how come we haven't held China, Russia, India in contempt for not coming to their aid? Where's the UN (United Nutjobs) for God's sake. Sure, the UN is wagging their atrophied finger at China - jeez that would scare me to death. Why aren't our elected officials screaming bloody murder. Why doesn't the DNC have this as a plank in their platforms. If I were a candidate running for President, I'd be hammering Congress to end this debacle.
Fifty years of despotic rule and not one thing has been done for the people of Myanmar by those that could have stopped it years ago.
I am so pississipped off.
I am from ASEAN and I fully support this.
