To President Barack Obama:

We call on you to cancel existing and future contracts with Rosoboronexport until it halts all weapons sales to Syria. Russia's Rosoboronexport is the main supplier of weapons to the Syrian regime -- weapons used to massacre thousands of people. India and the US together make up over 50% of Russian arms sales. Your threat to withdraw this lucrative source of income could save Syrian lives and stop the spiral of violence.

US: 24 hrs to stop Syria's Merchant of Death
A citizen journalist captured an image of Syrian tanks firing in Homs.
1,000 children have been killed in the Syrian violence, but if we can get the government to act in the next 24 hours, we could stop the flow of weapons to the regime and end these massacres.

The Pentagon recently signed a $1 billion contract with the same Russian company that supplies weapons to the deadly Syrian military. The government can cancel the contract at any time, and has already persuaded the company to stop light weapons sales to Syria. Right now, the US and the Russian company are at an Arms Fair in Paris -- if we can build up pressure on the government now to suspend all contracts, Rosoboronexport could be forced to cut Syria's arms supply completely.

Sign the urgent petition to the US government to stop doing business with Russia to help stop massacres in Syria and tell everyone -- our call will be delivered to the delegates tomorrow at the arms fair in Paris.
