Background:
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, Democratic and Ethnics groups say “NO” to 2008 constitution and 2010 election. There are very concrete reasons;

1. 1990 election results are still pending to be honored
   
2. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and thousands of political prisoners still in the prisons
   
3. 2008 Constitution is designed to perpetuate military rule and adopted unilaterally
   
4. Military will seat for 25% of parliament automatically
   
5. Junta gives itself amnesty
   
6. Does not respect ethnics rights 7. 2010 election will be held in accordance with 2008 constitution

We would appreciate and be grateful if you and your Co. could attend and actively participate in the Seminar, and looking forward to seeing you all soon. The Seminar language will be English and Burmese. We sincerely apologize for very short notice due to some unforeseeable circumstances.
