Control Arms

I have recently signed up to the visual petition to request greater control of the arms trade (www.controlarms.org). I received the following text in my sign-up e-mail so I'm going to politely request, if you are interested in this sort of thing, that you pop on over to the site and sign up.

(Note: you don't have to use a photo of your face, some people have taken a photo of their hand or a placard, etc.)

'Amnesty, IANSA and Oxfam have just launched a global campaign aiming to stop gun running and control the arms trade - and they need your support now.

Armed violence wrecks lives by fuelling conflict, poverty, and human rights abuses. The campaign is calling for an international Arms Trade Treaty which will make it harder for arms to get into the wrong hands.

Your support will help us to show that people - like you - around the world are outraged by arms trade abuses, and demand tougher arms controls. Simply go to: the Million Faces petition.'

Thank you.
