[rohrpost] Attack on Iraq. |
Dear Local Global Citizen I am contacting you as I am very unhappy about the impending military strike against Iraq and would like to ask you for some assistance. It is often suggested that the government of George Bush is dependent upon the moral credibility of the government of Tony Blair for its strike against Iraq. In turn, Tony Blair's government is dependent on the local support of his Labour Party across the United Kingdom. I live in Ashley Ward in the City of Bristol in the United Kingdom. The local representatives for Tony Blair's party are Helga Benson and Dudley Saward. I am asking them to follow their consciences and resign in protest against this unjust invasion of Iraq. I would also like to invite you to request their resignation. Now is a good time to act not purely because the war has not yet started, but also because we have local elections here in the United Kingdom on May 1st and The Labour Party are becoming vulnerable to public opinion. You can contact Helga Benson and Dudley Saward on the following: Address: 30a Fairfield Road Montpelier Bristol BS6 5JP United Kingdom Telephone: +44 (0)117 903 1973 Fax: +44 (0)117 922 4421 mailto:remote-printer.Helga_Benson@441179224421.iddd.tpc.int mailto:remote-printer.Dudley_Saward@441179224421.iddd.tpc.int Email: mailto:helga_benson@bristol-city.gov.uk mailto:dudley_saward@bristol-city.gov.uk Website: http://www.bristol-city.gov.uk/cgi-bin/councillor.pl?councillorid=70 http://www.bristol-city.gov.uk/cgi-bin/councillor.pl?councillorid=69 If you contact them please state your name, location and why you are contacting them. Often we feel that we are powerless to act against global injustice, because we can not identify individuals that can be held responsible or if we can then we have no means of reaching them. I would say that Helga Benson and Dudley Saward can be held partially responsible for the impending war against Iraq as they continue to offer support for Tony Blair's Labour Party, which in turn supports George Bush and his military adventure. Multiple calls for resignation, directly to their home, from both Bristol and also a wider national and international community, will have a powerful effect on them and our local political situation. The resignation of Helga Benson and Dudley Saward would have a noticeable effect on The Labour Party and in turn on Tony Blair's government, which could effect the course of the war. So please consider my request and if convinced call for the resignation of my local Labour representatives. Thank you for your attention Heath Bunting +44 (0)7968 234 987 ps - I you can identify similar individuals in your own community also partly responsible for the unjust war against Iraq, then I would be happy to apply some pressure from here. Also, if you support this action then please forward this message to other citizens and media organizations. Please translate if you have such skills. ------------------------------------------------------- rohrpost - deutschsprachige Liste zur Kultur digitaler Medien und Netze Archiv: http://www.nettime.org/rohrpost http://post.openoffice.de/pipermail/rohrpost/ Ent/Subskribieren: http://post.openoffice.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rohrpost/
