Dear Mr. President



	My name is _______ from _____________. I am calling/writing/faxing to
	request that you oppose in the strongest language possible the U.N. Security
	Council Resolution imposing sanctions against Eritrea based on fabricated
	information. A careful look will show you that those responsible for the
	problems in Somalia are those that have historical antagonism with Somalia
	not Eritrea. I am in support of your policy of constructive engagement,
	reconciliation and partnership with the rest of the world. Sadly, your UN
	team orchestrated a sanctions resolution against Eritrea engineered by
	Ethiopia on charges repeatedly proven to be groundless. Why is your Foreign
	Policy Team supporting sanctions instead of engagement? Why threats instead
	of reconciliation and why punishments instead of partnerships? I hope you
	keep your positive promises. The UN Security Council must exercise a fair
	and just practice in evaluating all the facts and evidence to find a lasting
	peace in the Horn of Africa and should not be swayed by those that have an
	axe to grind against Eritrea; the lives of innocent people are at stake.

	You and I know that this will not bring peace to the war ravaged Horn of
	Africa; in fact this is a reckless act designed to reignite existing
	simmering conflicts and to create new ones.

	Thank you.

	Sincerely
