Break up with Google this Valentine's Day.

On Tuesday, February 14th join the No Luv 4 Google campaign and
protest Google's partnership with the Chinese government in
censoring and distorting the truth. More than just blocking
access to "politically sensitive information" (as if that wasn't
bad enough), Google now directs users in China, Tibet and other
Chinese-occupied territories to the wrong information -
propaganda Beijing wants them to see.

We've created a special site just for this campaign. Visit:
http://www.NoLuv4Google.com now to check it out!

This Valentine's Day, show you have a heart for freedom and
human rights and no love for Google:

1) Break up with Google - Make a pledge now to boycott Google
and all its "services." 
Go to:
http://actionnetwork.org/ct/7p1jumM1qXOo/BreakUpWithGoogle 
2) Join a protest at a Google office near you, go to:
http://actionnetwork.org/ct/ud1jumM1qXO0/Googleoffices for a
list of Google offices worldwide.
3) Find an alternative to Google, go to:
http://actionnetwork.org/ct/u11jumM1qXOl/GoogleAlternatives. 

For too long western businesses have told us their presence in
China would bring openness and democracy, but instead, China has
changed our businesses to become more closed and repressive.
While Tibetans and others suffering under Beijing's brutal rule
look to the free world to help, most corporations and
governments are selling them out. And now Google, one of the
most popular and seemingly progressive Internet industry
leaders, has sold them out too.

On February 14th, stand up for freedom and human rights and show
Google that human values aren't for sale. Go to:
http://actionnetwork.org/ct/7d1jumM1qXOk/NoLuv4Google to take
action now!

We know Google's not the only one helping the Chinese
government. Go to:
http://actionnetwork.org/ct/771jumM1qXO9/ChinaInternetCrackdown
to take action and tell Yahoo!, Microsoft & Cisco Systems you
don't love them either.
