see link for a petition you can sign - not much but at least something

HYPERLINK "http://www.avaaz.org/en/stand_with_burma/t.php?cl=21221990"
To convince the Chinese government and
other key countries, Avaaz is launching a major global and Asian ad campaign
on Wednesday, including full page ads in the Financial Times and other
newspapers, that will deliver our message and the number of signers. We need
1 million voices to be the global roar that will get China's attention. If
every one of us forwards this email to just 20 friends, we'll reach our
target in the next 72 hours. Please sign the petition at the link below -if
you haven't already- and forward this email to everyone you care about:

The pressure is working - already, there are signs of splits in the Burmese
Army, as some soldiers refuse to attack their own people. The brutal top
General, Than Shwe, has reportedly moved his family out of the country – he
must fear his rule may crumble.

The Burmese people are showing incredible courage in the face of horror.
We're broadcasting updates on our effort over the radio into Burma itself –
telling the people that growing numbers of us stand with them. Let's do
everything we can to help them – we have hours, not days, to do it. Please
sign the petition and forward this email to at least 20 friends right now.
Scroll down our petition page for details of times and events to join in the
massive wave of demonstrations happening around the world at Burmese and
Chinese embassies.

With hope and determination,

Ricken, Paul, Pascal, Graziela, Galit, Ben, Milena and the whole Avaaz Team
