EMAILING UN DELEGATIONS
A
suggestion re John's sample letter below is the addition that in a worst
case scenario 3.6 million people will be killed with a scenario of Saddam
using bio and chem weapons and the USA retaliating with nuclear weapons.
Clearly a totally sick, totally preventable scenario IF these countries
vote against war. I'd also add in the sample letter that it's more than
time that the USA be stood up to by the rest of the world and not allow
themselves to be cowed, threatened economically, etc. Do what you [they]
know is right. It's that simple.

Subject: [abolition-caucus] UN Security Council Emails - Iraq Resolution
Coming Up Monday IMPORTANT!
Dear
All,
According
to Australia's UN ambassador John Dauth, the 'second resolution', promoted
by the US and the UK and authorising war, (or considered to be the trigger
to do so) is coming up on Monday, US time (that's approx 18 hours behind
Australian time, or 6 hours ahead on the previous day). That means there
is very little time to lobby!
But
there is still some time left in which to send a message to the UN!
Apart
from sending a message to President Chirac (+33-147-42-2465.)
and to President Putin (+7-095-206-5173)
and to German chancellor Schroeder ( +49-228-56-2357)
You can send a message to the whole Security Council at the email addresses
below. In particular, the missions of Spain, Bulgaria, Pakistan, Guinea,
Mexico, Angola, Cameroon, China, and Chile need to hear from you that
they should vote against any resolution that authorises war with Iraq.
Here
is a sample letter, this one to the Chinese delegation:
To:
chinamission_un@fmprc.gov.cn
Subject: Security Council Veto
|
I urge your
representative in the United Nations Security Council to VETO
or VOTE AGAINST any resolution sponsored by the United States
which would authorize an aggressive war against Iraq by the United
States and any "coalition of the willing."
As a citizen
of the United States of America, I am appalled by the recent actions
taken by the government of the U. S. with regard to Iraq. While
ignoring completely far greater threats to world peace and security,
the Bush Administration has itself become the greatest threat
to peace, all in the empty name of ridding the world of a dictator
which previous U. S. governments supported.
Please VETO
or VOTE AGAINST the forthcoming U. S. resolution to authorize
war against Iraq; do not just abstain!
Thank you.
