OT: Help needed.

[Moderator Note: Approved due to the current situation. This
doesn't mean everyone can start posting here for any random
petition]

We've launched an emergency petition from citizens around the
world to the U.N. Security Council. We'll be delivering the
list of signers and your comments to the 15 member states of
the Security Council on THURSDAY, MARCH 6.

If hundreds of thousands of us sign, it could be an enormously
important and powerful message -- people from all over the
world joining in a single call for a peaceful solution. But
we really need your help, and soon. Please sign and ask your
friends and colleagues to sign TODAY at:

In the next week, the U.N. Security Council will likely meet
to decide on authorizing a war against Iraq. If the Council
votes to accept a second resolution, it'll be very difficult
to avert a war.

--
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.

Thanks for being a part of this enormous success. With your
help, we can make it even bigger. Please let your friends and
colleagues know about the petition by sending them a short
note and this email. They can sign up at:

http://www.moveon.org/emergency/

We've pushed back our delivery date to Monday -- our sources
at the U.N. tell us that's when 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. If
each person who signed the petition gets a few friends to
sign, we'll easily reach our 750,000 goal -- but it has to
happen today.

Please take a moment to let your friends know about this
important initiative. With your help, we can make an even
bigger impact on the U.N. Security Council.

Sincerely,
--Carrie, Eli, Joan, Peter, Wes, and Zack
