Rice for Peace

Een leuk initiatief!

There is a grassroots campaign underway to protest war in Iraq in a
simple but potentially powerful way.

Place 1/2 cup uncooked rice in a small plastic bag (a snack-size bag
or sandwich bag work fine). Squeeze out excess air and seal the bag.
Wrap it in a piece of paper on which you have written, "If your
enemies are hungry, feed them. Romans 12:20. Please send this rice to
the people of Iraq; do not attack them."

(Cees: nog mooier, schrijf het op de zak!)

Place the paper and bag of rice in an envelope (either a letter-sized
or padded mailing envelope--both are the same cost to mail) and
address them to:

President George Bush White House,
1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW
Washington, DC 20500

Attach $1.06 in postage. (Three 37-cent stamps equal $1.11.)

Drop this in the mail. It is important to act NOW so that President
Bush gets the letters ASAP.

In order for this protest to be effective, there must be hundreds of
thousands of such rice deliveries to the White House. We can do this
if you each forward this message to your friends and family.

Op naar de keuken!
