Burma Vigil at the Pelosi Office to ask her Support for Sanctions on Burma's Ruling Thugs
What: Burma freedom supporters and the district constituents to show their appreciation to Congresswoman Pelosi for her past work on Burma and her continual support for Burma. In particular, we would like to ask for her much needed leadership and support to the Burma bill introduced in the House by the Congressman Lantos, Block Burmese JADE (Junta's Anti-Democratic Efforts) Act of 2007. This is powerful legislation that will really hurt the SPDC hard. But it has gotten only 27 co-sponsors so far and needs to go through the way and means committee soon.
When: Wednesday, Nov 14, 2007 4:30 - 5:30 pm at the
San Francisco Federal Building, her office location, at 450 Golden Gate Ave, San
Francisco, CA 94102.
How to get there: The closet BART
station to SF Federal Building is Civic Center BART
station.

Why: Congresswoman Pelosi has been so busy with other matters and could not
pay much needed attention and leadership to Burma bills even though she is a
strong Burma supporter. We would like her to know about it and can take
measures to ensure it goes through Ways and Means committee."
Moreover, below is the letter drafted for you to kindly mail, fax or email it to
her office. Your help will make a difference in Burma.
