Save Egypt christians

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus,
I wanted to let you know about a new petition I created on We the People, a
new feature on WhiteHouse.gov, and ask for your support. Will you add your
name to mine? If this petition gets 25,000 signatures by November 09, 2011,
the White House will review it and respond!
We the People allows anyone to create and sign petitions asking the
Obama Administration to take action on a range of issues.
If a petition gets enough support, the Obama Administration will issue an official response.
You can view and sign the petition here:

Here's some more information about this petition:
Cut off the $1.3B in aid annually to Egypt, unless they bring to justice the
killers of the massacre of Coptic Christians
The Holy Synod of the Coptic Orthodox Church under the leadership of Pope
Shenouda III met with seventy Bishops, on Monday October 10, 2011 in the
Papal residence, Cairo, Egypt to discuss the events of the prior day in front
of Maspiro where 24 of our beloved children were killed and at least 200
injured.
Coptic Christians feel that their problems are always being repeated without
accountability and without the due justice of the law.Eyewitnesses &
countless photographs and videos recount how the Egyptian Military used
armored vehicles to mow down peaceful protesters.
WE PLEA to the President, and Congress, to push for a full investigation,to
bring the perpetrators to justice in accordance with the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights, and to cut off military aid until FULL
COMPLIANCE.
