Host a Burma Mock Election Event

Host a Burma Mock Election Event Dear Mike, In one month, Burma's military regime will hold a sham election to legalize military rule.  Sign up to hold an event to mock this election charade.   Burma is set to have its first "election" in twenty years on November 7th.  But these elections are just for show.  The outcome has already been decided--continued military rule.  Marching, chanting slogans, and speaking out against the military regime are all prohibited.  Polling stations will not be opened in most ethnic minority areas, denying them the right to vote.  Most importantly, the constitution guarantees the military will control the new government.  Aung San Suu Kyi, the National League for Democracy , and democratic ethnic leaders are boycotting the election to show its illegitimacy. Around the world, supporters of Aung San Suu Kyi and Burma's democracy movement are coming together to host mock elections to protest the military regime's upcoming sham elections on November 7, 2010. From October 25th - November 7th join in and host a mock election event in your community to show solidarity with Burma's true democratic leaders.
