As the year comes to an end, I would like to thank you for your dedication to the U.S. Campaign for Burma. Without our grassroots members, our efforts to support the non-violent struggle for democracy and human rights in Burma, under the leadership of the world's only imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize Recipient Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, would not be possible.
Over the past year, your calls to Congress resulted in record backing for the renewal of comprehensive sanctions on Burma's military regime. Your volunteer hours with USCB at dozens of U2 concerts across the country brought 10,000 new supporters into our movement. And your contributions have allowed us to continue to keep the American public and policy makers focused on Burma, with USCB cited in more than 5,000 media articles, including the New York Times, the Washington Post, and CNN.
2010 will be the most critical year for Burma in twenty years. With a showcase election on the horizon, broken ceasefire agreements between the regime and ethnic resistance groups, and a new U.S. policy towards Burma, we need your support now more than ever.
I appeal to you to make a tax-deductible gift to U.S. Campaign for Burma.
With your contributions, we will continue our plans to push for the United Nations to set up a Commission of Inquiry into crimes against humanity in Burma, the release of over 2,100 political prisoners including Aung San Suu Kyi, and realizing of a meaningful and time-bound dialogue among political forces inside Burma toward national reconciliation.
This holiday season, we will be sharing video messages from Burma's celebrity supporters on our webpage: www.uscampaignforburma.org. And we will continue to keep you updated on our advocacy efforts as the year wraps up. 2010 will change Burma forever; we are asking your support to make sure these are positive developments.
We are truly grateful for your commitment to USCB and the struggle for freedom, justice and democracy by the people of Burma.
Best Wishes,
Aung Din
