Hi,

I just sent an important global message to US Presidential candidate, Barack Obama. The  outcome of the next US election will greatly affect the world and I thought you might want to send a message too. Check out the following email for more information, and to take action:

--------------------------
Dear friends,

The US Presidential election campaign has begun, and with it a chance to turn a fresh new page on 8 years of disastrous US foreign policy. Experts and people agree: the best chance for change on global warming, human rights, and war, is offered by one candidate: Barack Obama.

The world can't vote in US elections, that's up our American friends to decide. But Americans say they want their next President to be someone who is respected around the world. So our opinion counts, and our best chance to be heard is right now, as the American media reports on international reactions to Obama's global travel this week.

Let's take this global moment to send Obama a friendly message of unity and hope for change. A million hopeful messages from every nation of the world, publicized in the US media, would be a powerful sign of the world's desire for the change Obama promises. Click below to sign our message (and personalize it), then forward this email to everyone you know -- let's get to a million!

We'll deliver your messages to the Obama campaign, and make sure that our effort is publicized widely with journalists and bloggers in the US. But we need to hit our target of 1 million to really make an impressive statement, so please forward this email to your friends and family with a personal note about why you think this is important. Let's get to a million!

With hope for change,

Ricken, Paul, Veronique, Iain, Graziela, Ben, Milena, Pascal and the whole Avaaz team.

The world can't vote in the US elections, nor will it help to preach to those who can. But Americans themselves say they want their next President to be someone who is respected around the world, so our voice counts this time -- and as Obama tours the world, our best chance to be heard may be now. We're running this global petition as a gesture of worldwide friendship and solidarity with Obama. We will deliver this petition to the Obama campaign, the US media, and the blogosphere to show that his message of change inspires global respect, and to emphasise those issues on which his boldness is most needed. Use the form below to sign the petition and then tell your friends and family about this campaign. Let's get to a million global voices for Obama. Senator Obama, we send you this gesture of respect and sign of hope from all around the world. Let's work together to stop climate change, protect human rights and prevent war, and help make the US a responsible and respected member of the global community again. Sign the petition -- then send your message (optional)		0 1,605 have sent Obama a global message, help us get to 250,000
