Aung San Suu Kyi

As Burma lays low, hoping the world quickly forgets its brutal massacre and internment of Buddhist monks and democracy supporters, I for one intend to keep reminding people what they did.

So, here is a reminder of just what Burma's military junta is so scared of. This is Aung San Suu Kyi, Nobel Peace Prize winner, the leader of the democracy movement of Burma and the woman who would be President of Burma had the junta allowed free and democratic elections:


The number one action you can take is to contact your Congress Critters, asking them to increase pressure on Burma to allow democracy to FINALLY take hold, and contact Chevron, America's #1 company doing business with the military dictators of Burma, and tell them to use their influence to stop the dictatorship in Burma. Many are calling for a boycott of Chevron.

Chevron:
6001 Bollinger Canyon Road
San Ramon, CA 94583, USA
Tel. +1 925-842-1000

And support the US Campaign for Burma.

Words to live by

McCain's campaign is not about reform, I'm afraid, because he has no proposals for reform of anything. And it's not about national security, as the Palin pick proves. It's about power and the lies you need to tell to gain it. That's why this GOP needs to be burned down before it can be rebuilt.
