    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi, John, et al.:  <br>
      <br>
      <br>
            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.  <br>
      <br>
      <br>
            If you have not yet signed onto the petition at change.org
      (see below), I encourage you to do so.  <br>
      <br>
      <br>
            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. 
      <br>
      <br>
      <br>
            Best Wishes, <br>
            Spencer <br>

                <div class="plainMail">Hello, All:<br>
                  <br>
                  <br>
                        You may know that the UK has threatened to
                  invade the Ecuadorian embassy to capture Julian
                  Assange in violation of international law that says
                  that any nation's embassy is part of its sovereign
                  territory.  This means that these threats by the UK
                  constitute acts of war.<br>
                  <br>
                  <br>
                        Please sign my campaign on change.org to oppose
                  this and other illegal claims of government secrecy
                  that threaten world peace and democracy: <a
