[Mb-civic] Fw: Pass it on: Break up with Google this Valentine's Day

[Barbara Siomos]

It is only for one day Google Lovers... :-)

Dauber check out "Students For A free Tibet" piece..... Also I know because I support a lot of the things they do...SFAFT do many many Good things and they work very hard for Tibet, so I support them in what they ask just for the day.... I like Google as well but one day will not hurt them, it only draws attention to the China~Tibet issue. I do NOT want to get started on the abuse issues regarding China in Tibet.

peace,
barbara

This Valentine's Day: No Luv 4 Google!Barbara:

True.  But that has to be weighed against Google's powerfully principled stance - one not taken by AOL, Yahoo and MSN, all of whom caved in immediately - against providing user search information to the U.S. government.

Peace.

                    Break up with Google this Valentine's Day.

                    On Tuesday, February 14th join the No Luv 4 Google campaign and protest Google's partnership with the Chinese government in censoring and distorting the truth. More than just blocking access to "politically sensitive information" (as if that wasn't bad enough), Google directs users in China, Tibet and other Chinese-occupied territories to the wrong information - propaganda Beijing wants them to see.

                    We've created a special site just for this campaign.  Visit: NoLuv4Google.com now to check it out!

                    This Valentine's Day, show you have a heart for freedom and human rights and no love for Google:

                      a.. Break up with Google - make a pledge now to boycott Google and all its "services" on the 14th and help spread the word. 
                      b.. Join a protest at a Google office near you. 
                      c.. Find an alternative to Google.  
                    For too long western businesses have told us their presence in China would bring openness and democracy, but instead, China has changed our businesses to become more closed and repressive. While Tibetans and others suffering under Beijing's brutal rule look to the free world to help, most corporations and governments are selling them out. And now Google, one of the most popular and seemingly progressive Internet industry leaders, has sold them out too. 

                    On February 14th, stand up for freedom and human rights and show Google that human values aren't for sale.  Click here to take action now!

                    We know Google's not the only one helping the Chinese government. Click here to take action and tell Yahoo!, Microsoft & Cisco Systems you don't love them either.
