| The Mining Petition | |||
3 days to go and 1090 so far! Was the target of 1000 an underestimate of the Global concern? Yes! Remember that in the dark ages of the Internet
(1996, actually) we launched a petition against Paedophilia in Goa and raised
9,338 signatures (yes, the hand written kind!) from the UK alone - details of this can
be found in Contact,
Vol. 7 no. 3, Sept 1996. Please ask your friends to tell their contacts to
support the campaign by going to http://goanvoice.org.uk/miningpetition.php
by 30 Apr. 2010. Thank you. | |||
