CANDLE FOR TIBET

Hi,

Do you, like me, care about freedom and want to have a say about it?

Please unite with more than 100,000,000 people in the Biggest Light Protest on Earth for a Free Tibet.

Light a candle on August 7th at 9:00 p.m. (At your home, or in public)
Join and enjoy special light actions on the same night.
Drive with you car's headlights on during August 8 2008.
Watch "Sad Smoky Mountains" teams paint the sky with red smoke.
Watch those attending the opening ceremony in Beijing light candles, flashlights, cell phones and lighters. All for a FREE TIBET.

Please join us.

Love,
Candle for Tibet

From the site on Facebook:

THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING

In a few hours our first candles will start shining in Dharamsala. Our flame will get brighter and brighter as the world turns, when millions and millions from over 150 countries will add their light to it. Our flame will be steady, warm and bright for 24 hours until the Olympic Games start.

What we are doing is nothing but great. We will effect change, and this is just the beginning.

Please stay tuned in the coming days to both our main action site,
http://www.candle4tibet.org and to our amazing social network http://candle4tibet.ning.com/

In the 24 hours preceding the games in Beijing, we will show the world that when individuals, regardless of their nationality, sex, religion race or politics, unite and focus their minds, awareness and actions on an issue, they are able to effect change.

The Chinese authorities are having quite a time with the protesters in Beijing. The world's eyes are all on them; what a better time to open honest dialogue???

Cool! You can light a virtual candle on it, too, I think.

What has Tibet ever done for me?

Kidding. Please don't get out the pitchforks and torches.

It can all help to make a statement against further human rights abuses . . .
