Readers - Good News, Here is a simple way for you to help the people of Burma.
Stop buying Chevron gas.
Chevron is pumping natural gas on behalf of the Burmese military because it has a grandfather clause exemption from boycotting regulations.
Chevron, just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
Chevron, You were my favorite source of gas. No More!!!
Readers stop buying Chevron gas until this is corrected.
Every time you DON”T buy Chevron gas you have helped the people of Burma. Send a message with your purchasing dollars.
Public opinion does influence even military forces like the one that is ruling Burma at this time.
Because of the international public outcry the Burmese military has allowed Aung San Suu Kyi to meet with some of her party representatives for the first time in years.
This is due to the influence of all our voices. This is a small concession and the trap and the trick would be if we thought this was enough and then turned our heads to more convenient directions.
One leverage point for continued public pressure will be through the governments and businesses that are engaging with the Burmese Military. The five countries in particular that seem to be the closest and doing business with Burma are China, India, Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore.
According to Joel Brinkley in an San Francisco Chronicle article, India recently said that Burma was a, “close and friendly neighbor,” and signed a three year deal with Burma for energy exploration.
People of India, please let your government know that this is not acceptable.
Be compassionate, be responsible!
