Stand up for your rights
Certain ex-colonialists (racists), oil, weapons and mineral companies and others with their own agenda would like to destroy certain individuals or groups who interfere with their exploitation of the situations in their own countries, neighbors or poor in the third world. Speak out against these racist actions and prevent further injustices against the peoples of this world. Use whatever peaceful way to resist injustice, remember terrorism and acts of violence against the innocent only leads to more violence and tragedy and rarely if ever resolves the roots of a problem. The non-violent fight against injustice, racism and apathy by the likes of Mohandas Ghandi, Martin Luther King and Malcolm X are good examples to follow.

TEXT OF A SAMPLE LETTER
As your constituent, I would be
gratified if the US House of Representatives and the Senate
would take into account the suffering and human loss of life in various parts of
the world due to sanctions and bombings and other actions taken against them by
our government. Most individual Americans, myself included, are in disagreement
with these actions which are only negative, creating a vicious cycle of hate and
violence against peoples who have not personally harmed me or the any American
for that matter. Most Americans would rather prefer to organize relief and
provide aid to the hapless victims, and urging greater assistance to mitigate
the sufferings of the affected people, thereby clearly demonstrating their
feelings of goodwill to all humanity (irrespective of whether they are christian,
jew, hindu, buddhist or muslim, white, brown or black etc). I would therefore be very happy to see the some positive
support since many American citizens have family in the affected areas.
Hope you will act upon this
expeditiously.
With respectful regards,
Fight apathy and exploitation
Stop Apathy
Make the world a fairer place.
