[GPSCC-chat] change.org petition against the UK threats against Ecuador

[Spencer Graves]

Hi, John, et al.:


       Thanks for the update, John.  It sounds like this is still a live 
issue and action via change.org and otherwise could have an impact.


       If you have not yet signed onto the petition at change.org (see 
below), I encourage you to do so.


       Also, I found a phone number for the British Consulate in San 
Francisco:  (415) 617 1300.  I selected option 4 then 1.  I got a human 
and expressed my concern about the British threats on Ecuadorian 
sovereign territory and about their actions against Assange, whose crime 
appears to have been to share with the public information that was 
illegally kept as government secrets.  He said, "OK.  I'll pass on your 
comments about that."  I should have asked a question but didn't.  If 
anyone does, please let us know.


       Best Wishes,
       Spencer
