PLEASE FORWARD TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS!!


The Free Trade Area of the Americas protest site is now online!

http://www.gn.apc.org/pmhp/quebec.html


The first action that commenced at 00.00UTC, 20th april 2001, consists
of a "virtual sit-in" of web sites associated with the FTAA
conference. The purpose of the 'virtual sit-in' is to indicate your
objection to the FTAA conference and the entire FTAA process by
generating an electronic record of public pressure through the server
logs of the organisations concerned. The objective of the action is
not to crash the servers of these organisation (although this is
possible if a few hundred thousand people take part), it is to provide
a record of the public's participation in the sit-in. We are then
challenging the organistions concerned to release their server logs to
show the level of take-up of the sit-in.

Shortly, there will be an opportunity to take part in an "automated
letter-writing lobby" - this will be uploaded sometime during
Friday/Saturday.


Please participate, and let the FTAA and it's supporters know the
level of public opinion against them.
