Dear Friends,
Our organization, the American Friends Service Committee, launched a public campaign in response to the events of September 11 entitled "No More Victims." As part of this effort, AFSC has developed an ad for placement on October 7 in six large US newspapers. We are inviting individuals and organizations to sign on. The text is attached. It is addressed to President Bush and calls on him not to go to war.
The idea is to connect with people around the world who believe in pursuing peace and fill the newspaper page with as many names from as many places as possible. We invite all recipients to sign on to this petition. You can either respond to this e-mail directly by sending your personal and/organizational name to us at: eaqiar@aol.com or else can sign up directly at: www.afsc.org.
The copy of the advertisement is attached here as a pdf file, and the complete text is also listed below. The final date for signing on to this petition is October 6.
Please contact us with any questions. Also, we always appreciate learning about other events, actions, or statements taken by people around East Asia. Let’s continue to stay in touch with each other as we work to avoid further violence.
In Peace,
James and WuNa Reilly
East Asia Representatives

Dear President Bush,
We, the undersigned, join the American Friends Service Committee in urging
you to look for diplomatic means to bring to justice the people who are
responsible for this crime against humanity. Now is the time to break the
cycle of violence and retaliation. Do not respond to these terrible acts
by waging war. War will lead to additional deaths and the suffering of
many people in the U.S. and abroad."
