FOR COMPLETION BY 2nd OCTOBER

Stand shoulder to shoulder for peace and justice No more violence PETITION TEXT:

To: The Rt. Hon. Tony Blair, MP, Prime Minister

The killing of civilians is a crime against humanity. United States citizens and residents do not deserve to die because of the actions of their Government. Neither do the civilians of any other country deserve such a fate. We unreservedly condemn all terrorist attacks, whether carried out by individuals, organisations or nations.

We, the undersigned, call on the Government of the United Kingdom to work for a peaceful solution by:

- Using its influence to urge the U.S. Government to seek justice through international law and not by military means

- Not taking part in any military retaliation

- Refusing the U.S. use of any base in the U.K. for military retaliation
