DARFUR

Dear Revonistas,

Our friends at Save Darfur Coalition have brought you a message, that believe we need to stand up for:

President-elect Obama has been a consistent voice for Darfur. But now it is time for more than strong words—we need strong action to end the suffering.You've already told Barack Obama to keep his word. Now, tell your friends to add their voices to yours. Forward the message below, today.

I absolutely believe that thousands of voices, united as one, will compel President-elect Obama to act. That's why we set a goal of 20,000 new voices by Election Day—and met it. And that's why we're setting a new goal: 100,000 online postcards signed by Inauguration Day.

As the genocide continues, it is now more important than ever to have presidential leadership on Darfur from Day One.
Presidential leadership means ending the genocide, not managing it. Presidential leadership means spearheading a push to end the conflict. Presidential leadership means a president who says "no" if the U.N. Security Council tries to let Omar al-Bashir off the hook for his crimes. Presidential leadership means that when world leaders fall down on their commitment to fully deploy peacekeepers, the United States stands up for the people of Darfur.

Presidential leadership means that civilians are protected from violence and that those responsible are held accountable for their crimes.

Forward the message below. Tell your friends to add their voices.

Thank you for your ongoing support for the people of Darfur.

My best,
Jerry Fowler

Hi,
Now that Barack Obama is our president-elect, there's a new hope for Darfur.

That's because Barack Obama has been a champion of Darfur in the Senate, and pledged "unstinting resolve" to stop the violence and protect the people of Darfur.

It's our job to make sure he keeps that promise. So I joined with thousands of others and sent a postcard to the next president, adding my voice to the call for Day One leadership on Darfur.

Will you join me and Be a Voice for Darfur?

It's easy to add your voice.

Remind Barack Obama to stay true to his word.

If Americans from all backgrounds speak together for one cause, then President-elect Obama will listen.

Thank you for your support.
