Would you please pass this on to your friends to sign and to send by email or
postal mail to Amnesty?  This declaration provides for due process and freedom
of speech and association for all.  It has been used by Amnesty to argue on
behalf of the Iraqi Six who have been detained and incarcerated for 1.5 years
through the use of secret evidence.

 To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of
 Human Rights,  Amnesty International is collecting signatures for a
 pledge to support this very important United Nations declaration.

 Amnesty already has 3 million signatures (real and virtual) world
 wide, and wants 8 million (which would be 1% of the world's
 population). The UN Secretary General has already agreed to be
 present either in person or live by satellite, if he has to be in
 New York, to recieve the pledge as a tangible statement of the
 people of the world's commitment to an international agenda of
 human rights.

 The simplest way to add your name to the pledge is to
 * Send an email to
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SEND TO: udhr50th-AT-amnesty.org.au

 SUBJECT: * Put YOUR NAME

MESSAGE:

 "I support the rights and freedoms in the Universal Declaration of
 Human Rights for all people, everywhere."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * Forward this message to as many people as you can.
