ask Mr Saakashvili to stop intimidation campaign at home and secure free and fair elections later this year!

Dear President Obama,
We, citizens of Georgia, respectfully ask that when you meet with the Georgian president, M. Saakashvili, on January 30th, you ask him to actively end the campaign of intimidation and violence that his government has created in our country to maintain their grasp on power. Please also remind Saakashvili that he came to power 8 years ago because of public outrage at fraudulent elections, and that fact alone puts upon his shoulders the moral responsibility to ensure that the parliamentary elections to be held later this year will be more free and fair than any which had preceded them. President Obama, if democracy can work in Georgia there is greater hope for it to have positive effects all around us. Thank you for your kind consideration of this request.
