SONGLINES MOVEMENT =O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O-( )-O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O= OPERATION BRAVEHEART ST VALENTINE'S DAY - SUNDAY 14 February 1999 Send John Howard a St Valentine's Day message. =O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O-( )-O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O= Objective - to put a brave heart into the Australian Prime Minister to enable him to sit with and talk to First Peoples at their ceremonial fire outside of new Parliament House on Monday. Means - by sending messages of your very best healing energy by email, phone, fax, letters and cards and in person on Monday to John Howard as the chief elected representative of Australia's Peoples. He is in the hands of Wrongheads. We - peoples - have to turn his head around. You and me are his key advisers on this one! TIMING - SUNDAY 14 FEBRUARY 1999. Messages need to be respectful of the position of the Prime Minister as the head of the elected government of Australia and therefore of Australia's Peoples. Avoid locking the Prime Minister into a defensive and reactive position. This is what those manipulative conflict feeders (both within and outside of the Federal Coalition) who subscribe to oppositional politics will aim for to consolidate power in their dead hands. Encourage John Howard to put his head outside of the cage (and bunker) his party bosses have constructed for him. Construct a pathway for him to shrug off bad advisors and to walk out of the ceremonial precinct of Parliament House to talk to First Peoples at their ceremonial ground. CONTACT DETAILS 1.

In this case it is appropriate to email a message to the Leader of the Opposition, Hon Kim Beazley, requesting him to ask the Prime Minister in Question Time on Monday whether or not the Prime Minister intends to put reconciliation into practice by visiting the ceremonial fire and talking with the growing gathering of First Peoples and their supporters.

Suggest that the additional of a photograph of John Howard sitting on the ground and talking to First Peoples at their ceremonial fire on Monday 22 February 1999 would be a most welcome and timely addition if we are to avoid a polarised Australia for the Olympic Games.
