The U.S. Must Ensure Aid Delivery To BURMA NOW NOT TOMORROW BUT TODAY! THIS IS THE MOMENT FOR THE U.S. TO SET A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR THE WORLD TO FOLLOW

This situation is far too serious for the entire WORLD to ignore... extreme starvation, the SPREAD of infection and disease, corpses left ROTTING in the rivers, fish and wildlife spreading the END RESULT of ALL OF THE ABOVE! I'm sure you all remember the tune Walt Disney wanted to make sure would stay embedded in our brains after leaving the ride at Disneyland... "IT'S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL". [Repeat] [Repeat] Well, right NOW this couldn't be more TRUE!

We don't need to have money to make a difference. A simple phone call will FORCE our ELECTED officials to do the RIGHT THING... Let's GET LOUD! I have taken the following from an email I received from U.S. Campaign for Burma:

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

Dear Friends,

Our emails over the past few days have increasingly stressed the extreme humanitarian crisis that faces millions of Burmese right now. The crisis is urgent and dire, and the waiting can no longer continue without costing lives. If we wait for the approval of the Burmese regime we will have to start shipping in coffins instead of food supplies.

Congressional leaders, Rep. Peter King (R) and Rep. Joseph Crowley (D), are organizing a letter to President Bush urging him to "work with the British, French, German, Danish and other supportive and regional governments to immediately intervene in the Irrawaddy Delta region of Burma to provide urgent life-saving humanitarian aid to the survivors of Cyclone Nargis."

Call your member of the U.S. House of Representative today and urge them to sign this letter to President Bush. It is really easy to do, instructions are below. Calling is the MOST effective way to get your Representative on your side quickly.

Call-in information:

1. Go to http://www.house.gov/ to find your Representative and contact information. Find the number for the DC office.
2. Ask to speak to the person who handles Foreign Affairs.
3. Ask the staffer to have your Representative sign onto the King-Crowley letter to President Bush - "Help the Burmese People Now".
4. Explain the urgency of the situation in Burma.
5. Tell them why you care.
6. Tell them in order to sign on to the letter they need to contact Adam Paulson in Rep. Peter King's (if Republican) or Greg Sheiowitz in Rep. Crowley's (if Democrat) office by the end of the day Thursday May 15th.
