Subject: Sign the emergency petition to the U.N. Dear MoveOn member,
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 The MoveOn Team March 6th, 2003 P.S. Our petition was launched in cooperation with the American Friends Service Committee, who have a terrific website that provides resources and information on the crisis in Iraq. Check it out at: http://www.afsc.org/iraq/ P.P.S. Yesterday, our local ad went up in over 111 local newspapers across the nation, our billboards are now up in Detroit, San Francisco and L.A., and our "Inspections Work. War Won't." message is on a quarter of all the busses in Washington D.C. The financial support of MoveOn members for these initiatives has been overwhelming -- you funded over 100 local ads in less than a day! One note of caution about giving to good causes: Never give your credit card number over the phone in response to any telephone solicitation. And only give online or by mail to organizations you know and trust (like us). Thanks for making this work possible.
