The Links Are Fixed! Please sign right away! It's a big deal!
In a previous post I put up nonworking links to the following pledge. Please sign it. It works now. Please tell everyone you know to sign it. We want 5,000 petitions for this pledge and we know we can do it because we just got almost 8,000 petitions for a recent petition and it made a huge difference.
If any thing, companies listen to consumers – especially young people. You all are their “target demographic.” These particular companies care about selling you their products and refuse to state that it’s wrong for China to be funding the genocide in Darfur. We are not asking you to boycott these products but rather to pledge during the Olympics not to watch their commercials but instead go over to a live web cast of Mia Farrow in a refugee camp with real people who have watched their loved one is killed and who have had trek thousands of miles through the desert to find a refugge camp. Apparently Coca Cola has no problem with China giving the Sudanese army and janjaweed militia the money and weapons to do this. So instead of watching their commercials, we are telling Coca Cola and the other sponsors that we will watch real people who they have the power to help with their influence on China. PLEASE SIGN THIS PLEDGE TODAY! Please pass it to all of your friends and family! The time for companies to think they can get away with moral complacency in the face of murder, rape, and systematic burning of homes MUST come to an end!

Hey Andrew!
The links are still not working. MySpace seems to think that it’s spam or something naughty and it’s blocking access to the pledge. All of the links in this post are going to an error page. As soon as you can fix it, I’ll sign the pledge, and send it to everyone I know. Thanks! You rock, as always!

I’m glad the United Nations is actually aknowledging that it is happening. Something needs to get done, they ought to invite you to go and speak in front of them, I think you’d get them thinking.
