YOUR NAME HERE re: Darfur Please keep KICKED!

Dear President Bush:

During your first year in the White House, you wrote in the margins of a report on the Rwandan genocide, "Not on my watch." I urge you to live up to those words by using the power of your office to support a stronger multinational force to protect the people of Darfur.

Signed,

9. We should also be pressuring members of congress.

"While other legislation in the House, the Darfur Genocide Accountability Act (HR 1424), had previously received significant support (120 cosponsors) and notable public attention, it had not garnered sufficient bipartisan backing to move forward. Objections by leadership in the House to certain provisions (particularly authorization of use of force and oil sanctions) made clear that HR 1424 would not move forward. Thus, the original sponsors of HR 1424 worked with leadership in the House to craft a bill that would garner strong bipartisan support and move forward while still addressing the key issues of civilian protection, accountability, an end to the violence in Darfur, and a comprehensive peace in Sudan."

I wonder how many authorized the use of force for the invasion of Iraq, but were unwilling to authorize the use of force or oil sanctions in HR 1424.

Pathetic.

20. sign for the children of Darfur - surely this is as important as "V for

Vendetta? On which there are at least two threads on the front page of GD? Surely we can generate more than ten or fifteen sigs?

Help put some pressure on the child-killer in the WH. It may not be much, it may be symbolic, but what can it hurt? And it only takes a minute.
