Dear friends of freedom in Burma,

Here is a quick and easy action that only takes one minute to help free Aung
San Suu Kyi. Please spread this action as far and wide as you can!

Craig Graydon, USCB member from Atlanta, Georgia, has suggested that
EVERYONE who cares about human rights and democracy nominate Aung San Suu
Kyi for the ABC News Person of the Week. You can do so by clicking here:
http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/PersonOfWeek/story?id=64509

Below is a sample letter you can include for your nomination, though we
STRONLY encourage you to write a few sentences of your own instead of simply
re-pasting this. Be sure to include that Aung San Suu Kyi is the world's
only imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize recipient and that June 19th is her 60th
birthday. You can possibly include what you are doing to celebrate her
birthday. Be sure to state that she is a hero to the people of Burma but
also to the world. Be creative!

"Dear ABC News,

I'm writing to nominate the world's only imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize
recipient--Aung San Suu Kyi--to be ABC News Person of the week. This
Sunday, June 19th, is her 60th birthday, and just as citizens around the
world rallied to free Nelson Mandela on his 70th birthday when his was
imprisoned in 1988, the world is rallying to demand her freedom. In spite
of great danger, she continues to lead Burma's democracy movement with
incredible charisma, compassion, and bravery.

I work at __________ and Aung San Suu Kyi is a hero to me because _______.

Sincerely,

Your Name"

That's it! Please send a quick note to: info@uscampaignforburma.org to let
us know that you wrote a nomination!
