In case you haven't already heard, there is going to be a worldwide moment
of silence for peace in Balkans on May 24, 1999.

Hundreds of thousands of people from around the world will come together at
_one moment_ in time -- exactly 5pm Greenwich Mean Time (that's 9am in Los
Angeles, noon in New York, 6pm in Paris, 8pm in Moscow).

We will stop whatever we are doing and observe two minutes of silence for
the people in Yugoslavia. It isn't a statement against the United States, or
against the Kosovars, or against the Serbians. It is not about national
borders and governments at all -- it is about the value of individual human
life and liberty. It is a gesture of peace and good will for all men, women,
and children.

I hope you'll join us on May 24.

Stop by http://www.MomentofSilence.org/ to add your name to the growing list
of people (including people from Australia to Argentina, from Kansas to
Kosovo, and even a U.S. Congressman from Texas) who will be observing the
moment of silence together.

Every name on that list is like a candle in the darkness, spreading the
light of peace. Every name makes a difference for the people in Yugoslavia.
Please add yours.

And help us spread the word. Forward this message to your friends and
family, even if you think they might have already heard about it. Part of
what makes this an historic event is that it is being promoted without the
help of any big media organization or advertising budget. Regular people are
spreading this message around the world, by e-mail.

Thank you for joining in the Moment of Silence.
