isn't sending anything to john dimitri negroponte, especially against war, a bit like pissing in a rain storm?
one might as well attempt to convince the american people that their faux president should be impeached.

>During the past week, many of you probably watched or heard some of the
>debates on the floor of the House and Senate. It was a sad week for those
>of us who like to think that our government truly represents the will and
>opinions of the people.
>
>This week's assignment focuses on finding happiness despite the situation
>and finding things that you can do RIGHT NOW to help assure that your
>voices are continuing to be heard.
>
>#1) Trust that peace will prevail. It might look dark right now, it might
>be dark for a while, but peace will prevail.
>
>#2) STOP SENDING OUT THE PETITION THAT GETS SENT INTO THE UNITED NATIONS.
>Many of you have received this petition. It's circulating widely. The
>problem? The e-mail address on the petition goes to an office that can't
>really help the cause. (Check their website for the warning
><http://unicwash.org/>.) Not only is the e-mail address incorrect but
>it's also FAR MORE EFFECTIVE to generate 500 e-mails than to list 500
>names on just ONE e-mail.
>
>#3) CONTACT THE UNITED STATES' UN SECURITY COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE. His
>name is John D. Negroponte (yeah, yeah, don't laugh...). Faxes and e-mails
>are much better than your phone calls.
