            Dear Friend of Tibet,,
  Nearly everyday a new story of brutality in Tibet surfaces as the Tibetan people of Tibet stand up for their rights.  Chinese soldiers and police continue to arrest, interrogate and torture Tibetans, including Buddhist monks and nuns.
                Take Action! 

Tell President Bush it
it's time for peace in Tibet!

  We know just last week eight Tibetans were killed in eastern Tibet after police fired into a crowd of several hundreds monks and laypeople protesting the “patriotic education” by the Chinese government as they visit Buddhist monasteries and demand monks to denounce the Dalai Lama. 
  As the reports of arrests, torture, and the deaths of Tibetans grow, we are working tirelessly to put pressure on China to show restraint in their reaction to the protests. And, we need your help!  
  Will you please help us and send a letter to President Bush urging him to put pressure on China? Take Action NOW!
  We are asking President Bush to take a stand for the Tibetan people and not attend the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympics. 
  For more than 50 years the Tibetans have suffered at the hands of the Chinese government. Today a climate of fear pervades Tibet. As the Tibetans stand up to China, the Chinese authorities have stepped of their campaign demanding the Tibetans denounce the Dalai Lama leading to increased resentment creating a viscous cycle. 
  It’s time the violence and intimidations tactics stop. The Chinese government must resolve this conflict peacefully and begins a dialogue with the Dalai Lama.  Take Action! 
  Your voice is essential. We must keep the pressure on world leaders and ensure we know the truth inside Tibet. Tourists have been asked to leave. Journalists have been forced out of Tibet leaving China without witnesses to their strong-armed and deadly tactics. 
  Call for Peace in Tibet. Send your letter to President Bush!
  Thank you for your support,
   
  John Ackerly
President
