Dear friends,
Obama's win is a fresh start for US relations with the world. Let's
send a global message of hope and invitation to work together to the
new President - it will be displayed on a giant wall in Washington DC:
Take Action Now
After 8 long years of Bush – finally a fresh start!
Obama's victory brings a chance for the US to finally join with the
world community to take on pressing challenges on climate change,
human rights, and peace.
After years, even decades of distrust, let's seize this moment of
unity, reconciliation and hope to send a message of warm
congratulations and invitation to work together to the new President
and the American people.
We've built a huge wall near the White House in Washington DC where
the number of signatures on our message and personal messages from
around the world will grow over the next several hours. We've also
asked Obama to personally receive our petition from a group of Avaaz
members. Let's get to 1 million signers and messages to Obama! Sign
on at the link below and forward this email to others:

This is a time for celebration of democracy, but already the sharks
are starting to circle – oil companies, war contractors, conservative
lobbyists, and the powerful neo-con clique that brought us the war in
Iraq are looking for ways to dim the prospects for change. Obama has
promised national unity, and these interests will ask a high price
for that unity.
Let's act quickly to make sure the people of the world are heard as
Obama makes crucial choices in the coming days on how to live up to
his campaign promises to secure a strong global treaty on climate
change, ban torture and close Guantanamo prison, withdraw carefully
from Iraq, and double aid to make global poverty history. Rarely has
a US President been more likely to listen to us.
We'll make the point that on most of the pressing issues faced by
Obama and the American people – from the financial crisis to climate
change -- we need to work together as one world to achieve change.

PPPS - And here's a list of 10 of Obama's campaign promises that
concern the world – you can find his full platform here http://
www.barackobama.com/issues/:
• Reduce the US's carbon emissions 80% by 2050 and play a strong
positive role in negotiating a binding global treaty to replace the
expiring Kyoto Protocol
• Withdraw all combat troops from Iraq within 16 months and keep
no permanent bases in the country
• Establish a clear goal of eliminating all nuclear weapons across
the globe
• Close the Guantanamo Bay detention center
• Double US aid to cut extreme poverty in half by 2015 and
accelerate the fight against HIV/AIDS, tuberculoses and Malaria
• Open diplomatic talks with countries like Iran and Syria, to
pursue peaceful resolution of tensions
• De-politicize military intelligence to avoid ever repeating the
kind of manipulation that led the US into Iraq
• Launch a major diplomatic effort to stop the killings in Darfur
• Only negotiate new trade agreements that contain labor and
environmental protections
• Invest $150 billion over ten years to support renewable energy
and get 1 million plug-in electric cars on the road by 2015
